Women's Suit Skirts & Suit Shorts

Whether or not suit shorts are a good idea to wear to the office or a business meeting depends on the formality of your work environment. For strictly business professional, women’s suit pants, dress pants, and longer suit skirts are the best idea, as suit shorts are often considered too casual.

However, in business casual, relaxed, or fashion-forward offices and work dress codes, tailored shorts are a great, very stylish way to look polished and on-trend while avoiding getting too hot in spring or summer. It’s important to pick tailored women’s suit shorts that are long enough–a hem close to the knee or at least mid-thigh is more appropriate than shorter shorts. How you complete your suit shorts outfit for work also plays a big role in how appropriate you look. Stick to more formal tops and shoes–like a matching blazer or a structured blouse, and heels, mules, or loafers–to keep from appearing too casual.

Suit skirts are classic and chic–choose a top that has the same qualities to create a cohesive look. Long or knee-length tailored skirts work best with either a structured blouse, classic white button-up shirt, or a simple tank or shell top. If you add a matching suit jacket on top, you get a perfect skirt suit set, appropriate for the office or formal events.

For mini skirts, a silky blouse or tan works beautifully to complete the look. And you can get a modern, fun skirt suit set if you add a matching blazer.

Suit shorts are especially easy to style, because they can suit so many different occasions, looks, and preferences. For summer weekends, add a simple tank top or fitted t-shirt–suddenly, you’ve got an intentional look that’s both breezy and elegant. For a trendy work look or to really lean into the tailored style, add a belt and a blazer. Experiment with graphic tees, patterned tops, or flowy blouses to expand your suit short outfits.

Suit skirts are made for the office. While they can work well for other settings, tailored skirts like the ones in this collection are truly designed with work style in mind. From classic women’s corporate outfits to attorney style for women and beyond, suit skirts are perfect for the office, either as a full suit set with a matching suit jacket or with a simple top.
