I have owned this suit for more than five years and I don’t think I will ever get rid of it. A great black suit is something you should invest in and keep for as long as you love it! I fell in love with the unique houndstooth texture on this suit. A classic black suit is a must have and if you don’t have to dress 100% traditional it is nice to be able to choose something this unique.
A Classic Black Suit
Every woman should have a traditional black suit in her closet. Even if it isn’t something you wear to the office on a regular basis, they are great for interviews, after hours business events (you or your spouse) and funerals. I prefer a skirt suit to a pant suit if you are only going to purchase one in a particular color. Don’t you want to channel your inner Aubrey Hepburn with this purchase? 🙂 She loved a good skirt suit…her skirts were a tad longer than they are today, but I still think of her in a skirt over a pair of pants.
I found a few options for you to shop and they are both on SALE!
A Unique Black Suit
If your style calls for more than a basic black suit, then look for fabrics with texture or details on the suit that stand out and make it different. When I wear this houndstooth suit I always get compliments and questions on where I bought it. It is different while still being traditional and classy. I searched the internet high and low for something similar and unfortunately failed. This suit is made by LeSuit which is honestly not one of my favorite suit brands, but I LOVE this one. LeSuit makes great suits, but the arm length is never long enough for me. This one worked because it is supposed to be ¾ length.
I found several black suit options with textured fabrics and unique details. I hope you see something you like!

While my suit isn’t black, I do keep one in my closet because it is super cute. Also, sometimes you just need that perfect outfit to make you look professional sometimes. Your suit is great. It is so classy and timeless!
