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. Also: we just updated our big roundup for the best women’s suits of 2025!
Here’s a new-to-me brand that is worth mentioning if you like ultra-feminine, fitted clothes: House of CB. This pretty cream suit is slightly reminiscent of some of the more feminine options we’ve posted from Hobbs and LK Bennett, so it isn’t surprising that House of CB is also a UK-based brand (now carried by Nordstrom).
The suit isn’t for everyone, of course, but if this is your style the brand is a good one to know about if you don’t already. (They’ve been around for 15 years!)
Nordstrom has a lot of the brand’s collection but the “workwear” offerings are a bit limited — there are lots and lots of dresses that remind me of something Sophia Loren would have worn in the 1950s, as well as some cute loungewear a bit reminiscent of Good American/SKIMS. The brand’s website has more extensive workwear offerings (which is also where you can find the matching skirt for the blazer).
The blazer is $225 at Nordstrom and House of CB, available in sizes XS-XL.
(Not a suit but: love this unusual cardigan from the brand!)
In general (as of 2025), brands that specialize in suits with a ladylike vibe (for lack of a better word) include Hobbs, LK Bennett, and The Fold London — Amazon seller Marycrafts also has some great (super affordable!) ladylike suits.
