Recently my girlfriend's good friend got a job where she is required to meet with clients and such and she needs to be business formal. She wanted to get some suits and she asked me what the fit rules were for a suit. I began telling her some general rules of proportion and then I realized, wait a second, different things might be acceptable for women in pant-suits. For example, the jacket covering your gluteal folds. Many women walk around with these flared short skirt like jackets. Is this fashion, or is this ok? I honestly have no idea, but I do know that I have been watching a lot of old X-Files episodes and have commented to my girlfriend that I like how Dana Scully's suits fit her. Not tight and fitted, but a draped chest, much more draped than the natural bust and trousers that fit much like a man's trousers would with a lot of line and falling straight down. Not this spandex-y, almost legging to the knee stuff you see some women wearing. I personally think it looks elegant and sexy, not like the beginning to some bang bros porno.
So are there official rules? What is your opinion on how a woman's suit should fit?
