I hate suit shopping because everything has skinny or cropped pants. Sorry, but I can’t wear 95% of the suits out there to court. I wish retailers would realize that there are still plenty of lady pantsuit-wearers out there who want to be stylish but also have certain aesthetics to follow!
Amen! I’m going to WORK. You know, where I use my brain and need people to respect the things that come out of my mouth. Sexy/hot/cute is not the look I’m after.
While I respect wanting more style options, being “sexy/hot/cute” and smart is not an either/or situation. Working in a creative field, wearing a suit like the ones featured in this article, I would get more respect than wearing something more traditional. You may prefer or need something more classic in styling, but please don’t say these can’t be worn in a professional setting without diminishing the wearer’s knowledge.
It depends on the professional setting. Professional in a creative field is vastly different than professional in a business or legal setting. I could not get away with cropped or skinny pants, a blue suit, etc. I get what Allisen means by not being able to go for the “sexy/hot/cute” look, because if you’re TOO stylish you can be looked down on. For women in these male-oriented fields it’s a hard line to walk, when even statement jewelry or an unusual accessory can be seen as “too much” and earn you some second guesses as to your competency.
I just want a good fitting, not-to-tight, bootcut pant with a slimmer fit (no big shoulders) suit jacket. I know it sounds boring but there has got to be a way to make it look good!
I have really enjoyed your blog. That being said, based on yesterday’s Instagram post, I have to assume your plea to go out and vote was not intended for all, and thus was not sincere. That’s disappointing.
Love this!! What a great way to start my day. ❤️
