As we finish lining up your 2025 wardrobe essentials, from dainty-yet-dashing tiny dress shoes to relaxed jeans and blazers that make in-office days a little less soul-crushing, it’s time to talk about suits. And while yes, classic suits are back in a big way, there’s a whole other type of suit well worth your time and money this year. Meet The Workwear Suit.
As the name suggests, the Workwear Suit has all the flattering, intentional energy of a regular suit, but because the fabrics aren’t nearly as precious, it’s far easier to wear (and fits in at far more venues.) And while there’s certainly a D.I.Y. way to approach it—say, pairing the cropped workwear jacket you already own with its matching pants—recently, a whole host of brands have been stepping up their matching sets with interesting fabrics and more deliberate cuts.
