Women's Suits & Tuxedos

Absolutely! Women's suits and tuxedos are a contemporary spin on formal attire and a great dress alternative, too. Beautifully designed with the perfect fit, our suits and tuxedos for women create a sophisticated look that can be worn to a wide array of events, from weddings and business meetings to date nights and black-tie affairs. One of the benefits of women's suits is their versatility, making them easy to dress up or down to match the dress code of the occasion.

While both women's suits and tuxedos offer a sophisticated look, these two outfit choices have several key differences that dictate when you'd reach for each in your closet. Overall, women's tuxedos, such as the popular women's black tuxedo, are the more formal option of the two, featuring distinct characteristics like a single button front along with satin accents on the lapels, buttons, and waistband.

Women's suits are more versatile, making them easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. Suits stick to one fabric for the whole garment instead of introducing glossy satin finishes found on tuxedos, and they can also come in a more extensive color palette since suits don't have to be quite as formal. For one example of when to wear a suit, create a timeless look for a semi-formal event for a wedding by donning a women's navy suit and white blouse. Or, go fun and flirty with a women's burnt orange suit jacket, white tee, and high-waisted jeans for a post-work happy hour.

Women's suits and tuxedos are excellent options for upscale events. However, not every occasion requires your most formal pieces to make an appearance. A woman's tuxedo should be reserved for especially elegant affairs like black-tie weddings, charity balls, or galas, as these require an even more dressed-up look. On the other hand, women's suits can be worn to most events ranging from semi-formal to casual, including cocktail parties, garden parties, and outdoor weddings.

For example, fundraising events held at a ballroom may have a black- or white-tie dress code, where a woman's navy tuxedo would blend right in with the formality of the event. For a beach wedding, on the other hand, consider a more relaxed tan suit for women that plays on the colors of the season, or sport a woman's light gray suit to a business casual networking event that's professional but relaxed. In most cases, refer to the invitation for the event or policy for the setting to identify the dress code and find an outfit that works for you.

Ensuring the correct fit is a key element to feeling confident and comfortable in your outfit. With the right fit, you can enjoy freedom of movement, whether you're on the dance floor or presenting at a conference. Starting with your suit or tuxedo jacket, the sleeve length should fall right around your wrist, with the shoulders feeling snug but not too tight. The waistband of your women's suit or tuxedo pants should also create a comfortable balance that's not too tight or too loose, creating a smooth silhouette tapering down the leg before ending toward the ankle or tops of your shoes.

With our easy-to-use Fit Finder, you can determine your sizing and fit recommendation with just a few clicks. Along with helpful information from our fitting guide and how-to hub, you can understand the key features and elements to look out for to ensure your best fit.

Accessorizing women's suits and tuxedos is one of the easiest ways to showcase your personality and style without overpowering or clashing with other elements of your outfit. Accessories like statement jewelry or bold earrings pair well with a suit by adding a touch of glamor and interest to your ensemble. For a more traditional, menswear-inspired look, pair your suit with patterned, detailed, or colored accessories like cufflinks and pocket squares to inject a sense of personal style into your outfit. And for a more feminine look at semi-formal and casual events, consider matching your suit with a silky shell top.

When you're styling your look for a more formal or black-tie event, it can be best to accessorize your tuxedo with more subdued pieces like dainty bracelets, a pendant necklace, and a stylish clutch. To take it to the next level, you can also consider wearing more unique or elevated pieces like gloves or brooches with your tuxedo to create a timeless look for the classiest of affairs.
