We always have fun rounding up our interesting suits for our Suit of the Week feature — but we haven’t done a full post on where to find interesting suits, or which brands to check out first if you’re a suit-wearing professional in a creative industry. Readers, what are your thoughts — what are the best suits for creative industries (if you need to wear a suit)?
(We have talked about whether you can wear “interesting suits” to court, though, as well as whether vintage suits are appropriate for conservative offices. We’ve also rounded up where to look for dramatic blazers!)
Looking for info on more basic suiting? Check out our roundup of the best women’s suits in every budget and our guide on how to wear suits, the best petite suits, the best plus-size suits, and the best women’s suits in tall sizes — also check out our discussion on the best courtroom attire for women lawyers and the best outfits for interviews. We also feature a Suit of the Week.
The Best Suits for Creative Industries
Frankie Shop
Frankie Shop has a lot of suits that look conservative at first glance, but actually have a lot of fun details when you look closely. These are perfect for the minimal, sophisticated creative.
Other suiting brands with generally minimal vibes but tiny, creative details include ALC, All Saints, COS, Toteme, Jacquemus, and Veronica Beard.
The Fold
I adore The Fold, as do many of the readers — if you’re looking for an incredibly sleek, tailored suit with a touch of femininity, this should be your stop.
Other suits with a feminine vibe include Dolce & Gabbana, Roland Mouret, Hobbs and LK Bennett.
Alice & Olivia
Alice & Olivia has a lot of fun patterns and bold, bright colors. Their suits can sometimes hit the right note of “competent professional,” but sometimes not — so know your office!
Other suiting brands with fun patterns and bold, bright colors include Boden, Etro, and Smythe.
Boden
Boden regularly has fun suits, including in unusual, bold patterns and bright colors and tend to be on the more affordable side compared to other brands in this list.
Akris
The pictured suit is from a few collections ago, but it sticks out in my mind as such a fun, cool suit. Akris runs the gamut from incredibly polished, conservative looks to more creative, bold looks, but readers love the quality of the brand in general.
Readers, what are your thoughts — if you needed a “creative professional in a suit” look, where would you go? What suiting brands would be your first stop for creative, fun, interesting suits?
