Navy Tailored Blazer Suit

Every boss lady needs one suit she can wear when she has not slept and still look like she is running the meeting. This is that suit.

Navy wool blend, single breasted, the waist cut to nip without strangling, the trousers full and flat fronted with a clean break at the shoe. The lapel is modest, the shoulder soft, the lining a quiet navy silk so the jacket comes off smoothly when she sits down to a long lunch. We sized it for a CFO who needed to fly to three cities in four days and present quarterly numbers in each one. The suit packed flat, hung overnight, and walked into the next room looking like it had been waiting for her.

The suit went on first that week and came off last. She wore it on the morning she announced her resignation and on the afternoon she signed the contract for the next role. She told me she does not own another piece of clothing that has carried her through two of those days back to back. The suit is the wardrobe.
