The suit, fall’s new obsession

Icons of elegance, Saint Laurent and Chanel turned the suit into a true symbol of feminine power. Decades later, the working-girl ensemble remains an essential part of any wardrobe—timeless, sophisticated, and endlessly irresistible. Season after season, the suit reinvents itself: pants or shorts, fitted or oversized there’s always one to match your mood. Because between a sharp week-day girl boss and a chic Parisienne by night, there’s only one suit in between.

Our crush this season is this skirt-effect short suit spotted at Maje. Comfortable, made of brown tweed perfect for fall, it sparkles with subtle sequins. We love the blue boxer detail peeking out just enough to stay chic, while the perfectly cut oversized jacket breaks the prim side of the set. A no-brainer look, from office hours to after-work drinks.

A monochrome look is always a safe bet. At H&M, we found the suit of our dreams in a deep chocolate shade that’s particularly flattering. The oversized blazer and trousers give off a minimalist yet ultra-stylish vibe. Pair them with suede ankle boots to embrace the all-brown total look right on trend this season.

For the working girl with a busy schedule but always chic, Claudie Pierlot signs the perfect suit this year. The heather gray brings instant sophistication to this ensemble. The blazer and bermuda form the ideal duo, worn with sneakers and a cap to tone down the formal vibe.

A solid brown suit is an absolute must-have. The one we found at The Kooples is a stunner a subtle nod to Saint Laurent’s first women’s suits. The fitted blazer enhances the silhouette while the wider pants balance the look perfectly. Pair it with a white shirt during the day, then switch to sparkly earrings for dinner without even changing.

Wearing a suit without looking boring is an art that Isabel Marant masters to perfection. Her black striped jacket, fitted with a shawl collar and an asymmetrical crossover closure, is the piece that makes the entire outfit. Cropped and paired with low-waist 80s-inspired pants, it’s the perfect combo. Picture it with a light blouse and loafers for a look that’s both laid-back and ultra-stylish.

Pablo unveils a chic, oversized beige suit just how we like it. A perfectly tailored ensemble, perfect for dressing up to suit your mood. We imagine it belted to structure the silhouette and give it a fashionable twist, or worn with a Victorian collared shirt for those who prefer the elegance of a retro detail.

A houndstooth suit is the perfect way to shake up the classics. Petite Mendigote unveils a bold set with a slightly oversized blazer and ultra-flattering straight-leg pants. The houndstooth print, a trend from the 50s, makes a comeback as a timeless motif that adds color without overdoing it. Imagine it with a cream turtleneck and loafers for daytime, or with heels and a lace top for evening.

We’ve found the ultimate all-in-one suit: blazer, vest, and trousers. Once reserved for men, these pieces are now reimagined for every power girl brimming with confidence. Gerard Darel presents a navy pinstripe ensemble that lightens the silhouette each piece can be worn separately, but together, the total look is bound to turn heads.

Sézane offers a seasonal yet structured suit, with a flattering blazer and high-waisted, flared trousers. Almost sexy thanks to its sharp cut and perfect drape, it’s easy to picture with a light turtleneck and a pair of Mary Janes for strolling through Paris as the leaves start to fall.

Because some mornings we just don’t have time to think about what to wear and that’s when a good timeless piece saves the day. With Cyrillus, the black suit keeps all its charm without overdoing it, thanks to a simple, well-thought-out cut and that subtle, polished air that goes with everything. The oversized blazer balances with straight pants that give endless legs.
