    Paul Smith - A Suit to Travel In Collection

    I am actually looking at buying the women's one, not the men's, but I was hoping that people here would have some feedback as to how this collection (at least for the men's) wears over time. I need a new suit and would like to upgrade from my existing Theory and Boss ones, which have been okay...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    @dave_rawitat - I can only speak to the ones I’ve tried, however you can email Carmina or at certain hours talk to customer service over chat on their website.

    Paul Stuart Cashmere Sweaters?

    Do you guys have experience with them? Good? Bad? I got an email from Paul Stuart re: a sale on cashmere this morning, and have been checking out their offerings (for women). Really like these two - Pink ($195) Ivory ($195) I'm very tempted but surprised that it is even within my price range.

    “First suit” recommendation

    My husband and I just took my youngest brother-in-law who is 24 shopping for his first suit last month. He also didn't know really what he wanted. What was most helpful for him wasn't going to places like Indochino or Suitsupply, where the options confused him endlessly and there were very...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Let me help my fellow ladies out: Hills - Super narrow, most suited for slim delicate fairy feet with low arches. Madison - The closest to medium, i.e Women's "M" in US terms. However, as a woman who is used to US shoes and US sizing (which let's be honest, is built to be a little more...

    Blue "Sports Jacket" and Jeans?

    Thank you so much. That was such a helpful response. It has a mini-check pattern and there is some slight color variations in the weave, but very subtle. I will see if I can't get the matching trousers for him. He has mentioned that he needs a new suit besides his solid dark navy and solid...

    Blue "Sports Jacket" and Jeans?

    My husband is rather miffed with me. This weekend he went to pick up a new pair of dress pants at Nordstroms, and came back with a new pair of dress pants and, to quote him, "a sports coat I can wear with jeans." I have been feeling under the weather, and apparently have no filter as a result...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    My worries with the slightly-sheer crepe de chine blouse also reminded me of this "women's work wear advice" article: https://www.xojane.com/clothes/do-dont-wear-shear-shirt-work "Don't wear completely sheer clothes to work" says the author who wore a see through Isabel Marant top to work with...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    Tory Burch - They did not have any charmese but did have a crepe de chine "Jess" blouse and the silk twill blouse shown below (can't remember the name). The crepe de chine "Jess" blouse (not shown) was same in retail price as the kate spade blouse, same finishing, fabric similarly thin and...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    Over the weekend, I visited both Kate Spade and Tory Burch stores next to each other, as well as a boutique with a good selection of Equipment, so I would take the opportunity to review some silk blouses. The women's professional clothing blogs like corporette put these three brands together in...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    Believe me, it baffles me too - if you ever google or pinterest "women's professional attire," the results you'll get are completely confusing. I would say it breaks down to: - 40% clearly streetwear and not professional attire at all - 30% ridiculous "sexy secretary" - 10%...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    I can never quite figure out the mix and match - actually I don't even know which jackets are clearly for matching suits and which ones are more flexible unless they are clearly a sports jacket or hacking jacket with a loud pattern or in some unusual color. My current goal is to find two...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    For comparison, the BB Loro Piana Two Button Wool Blazer. Admittedly more expensive by $100. To be fair to both, I also selected one size smaller than what I usually wear. After some trying out and manipulation to take photos, I put it back on the hanger and snapped this photo. Even though it...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    The blazer (again, this is actually a dark navy, but the dressing room had horribly harsh overhead lighting that emphasized shadows and made pictures hard to take). Coming off the rack it looked a little.. not exactly "worn" but something about both the fabric and stitching just didn't look as...

    Update (review of the solid navy Zac Posen suit mentioned in the post above, which I was REALLY REALLY excited about): My local BB had the blazer and the pants in stock, although only the pants in my size, blazer one size smaller. I went over during lunch to check it out. I took some pictures...

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    Update: I still have not yet received my order from BB yet. I checked today and apparently they haven't even shipped it yet. The Cotton Pique dress is ETA April 7... sigh. In other news, they updated their inventory to include a solid navy zac posen designed suit (with *GASP* matching slim fit...

    Day Trip To Chicago to Visit Paul Stuart, Other Recommendations?

    I found a $100 flight to Chicago for a shopping day (arrive at 11 am, depart at 9 pm) ... would like some recommendations of clothing and shoe stores to visit that I can't visit in MSP.

    Suggestions for high quality office clothes for women?

    I contacted Suistudio yesterday evening and had the following conversation with their customer service. I'm very impressed with the promptness of their responses although I remain a little confused about the proper material (is wool better than mohair & wool blend? Does the mill where the wool...
