Newsflash: Suits are no longer strictly office attire. With workwear trending more casual and offices trending more hybrid, women’s suiting has been liberated from the corporate domain. The best women’s suit sets these days play with proportion, come in statement-making colors, and — with the right styling adjustments such as statement jewelry, retro kicks or of-the-moment loafers — can be worn as easily on Monday morning as Saturday night.

A long, fitted blazer with a pair of high-rise, wide-leg trousers creates a leg-lengthening illusion in this affordable set from H&M.

Argent’s sleek trousers have a covert elastic panel at the center back for added comfort and a close fit.

Pair with the brand’s Crossover blazer for a polished look that will outlast the trends, or go with the label’s vibrant Supermajority collection ($145 to $295), part of the brand’s #VotingSuitsYou campaign with the nonprofit organization Supermajority) that was recently feted with stars including Busy Phillips, Katie Couric, Cari Champion and other influential women. (Ten percent of proceeds from the bright hue go to the advocacy group.)

J. Crew
If you invest in one color trend this season, make it hot pink. The Barbie-esque hue feels powerfully defiant in the context of suiting, and the clean lines of J. Crew’s Willa blazer and flare pants set (available in classic and tall sizes) lets the color shine.

Zara
This cut-out blazer dress (made from at least 90 percent recycled polyester) from Zara has no shortage of cool details, from the crop of the jacket to the curved hem of the mini skirt. It’s better suited for an event with friends than, say, a corporate law internship.

6. Everlane The ’80s Blazer & The Way-High Drape Pants
Katie Holmes stepped out earlier this year in Everlane’s oversized ’80s blazer and paired it with the Way-High Drape Pants, proving the look can do double duty as street and office style. The pieces are available in a range of colors and the trousers come in two inseams; for a slimmer fit, opt for the Wide Leg Dream Pant instead.
