How to Buy a Women's Suits:
Whether
you want a formal suit for an interview, a pantsuit for a wedding shower
or a classic Armani, look for a suit that's stylish, well-made and fits
a dream
● Consider where you will wear suit
and how dressy your attire needs to be. Options include a formal skirt
suit, a casual pantsuit or an interchangeable set with a jacket, skirt
and pants. If you wear different sizes on top and on bottom, you best
bet is to buy matching separates.
●
Find a color that fits your needs. Start with a neutral like navy,
black, white or gray before adding other colors.
●
Find a jacket style that suits you. Choose
from single - or less popular double-breasted jackets; with a lapel and
collar (or neither); and a cut and length that flatters you figure. Once
you've found a style, inspect the construction and fit in more detail.
●
Try the jacket on. You should be able to
move your arms freely. The shoulders should be about an inch (21/2
cm) wider than your shoulder bone, and the sleeves should extend to
about the wrist bone. Button the jacket to test for comfort and to make
sure the buttons don't gap across the chest or pull over the hips.
●
Choose
a flattering style for the skirt or pants. Flat-front pants tend to be
more slimming. Straight skirts aren't very forgiving but can be
makes walking easier. You should be able to insert two fingers into the
waistband. Choose a length that's appropriate for its intended use.
