Suit of the Week: Theory - Corporette.com

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get - instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

This Sleek Flannel Staple Blazer from Theory looks ah-mazing. I love the light navy color because it's interesting but still subdued, and it just looks lovely. (Side note: Whenever I think of flannel suits, I think of AP American History, because we learned about some association with either the Secret Service or CIA. I can't remember what it was, and I haven't been able to google it yet, so if anyone knows, please shout it out!) This suiting seems like it would be soft but warm, because it's 100% wool.

Depending on which color you like, there are different matching options; the pictured blue offers cropped trousers and an A-line, long-sleeved dress to match. But the black has longer trousers available, and there's even a lovely gray option. Pieces are $355-$595 at Theory, with select colors at Neiman Marcus.

A somewhat more affordable option is from Elie Tahari in "steel blue": jacket and pants.
