The classic suit is a reliable choice for new comers into the corporate world. Now days there is

a wide range of options in colors, but the basics should always be sticked to: black, black or navy white pinstriped, navy and gray. The best way for a women to leverage the look is to buy a suit in three pieces (jacket, skirt & pant) when available.

If your adding to an existing wardrobe of suits, take

advantage of this season's fabric textures, detailing and collars. The collars add focus to the face and best to wear when presenting or at an important meeting where your want what you are saying to be heard.

Tips:

• Suiting should be fitted, but not so fitted you can see panty lines or look like your about to break the seams.
• Add a scarf or medium size necklace with small earrings for accessories.
• Wear skin tone to dark hosing. Leave the fancy stuff for time away from the office, business associates and co-workers.
• Utilize belts as an accent, but not as a statement.
