suit question: help needed

bella

I am in need of a suit for fall. Ideally, I would like a nice suit that I can wear in three seasons, in dark gray or charcoal.

I found this suit at New York and Company:

Jacket:

Pants:

I didn't see it in the store, yet so I don't know about the quality but it seems nice. If you have seen it in person, I would appreciate your feedback.

Also, what is interesting is that it also has a matching skirt and a vest:

Vest:

Skirt:

Do you think it would be a good idea to buy all 4 pieces? Would it be really versatile? Or should I save my money and buy another pants or skirt suit?
Thanks for your input.

I was going to say get the jacket, pants, & skirt and skip the vest, but I looked at the link and really, really like the vest! It would look cool over a black button down or turtleneck and jeans as well as with the other suit pieces.

Bella, do you mean you want to wear the suit for 75% of the year ( “in three seasons”), or FOR three seasons.

Also, how often will you need wear a suit?

Hi Angie,
I am sorry I wasn't clear before. I want to be able to wear the suit in the fall, winter and spring. I don't really need to wear suits in the summer.

Hmmm, I don't usually wear suits for work. But I am looking towards a fall and winter season that will hopefully be filled with interviews. (cross your fingers for me! )
Does this help?

If you don't need a lot of different suits, I'd say get the matching pieces! They seem really great for mixing it up.

I'd say wait if you have a trip to Turkey coming up and get a suit at Roman. My favorite store of all times!

If you don't have plans to visit, jacket, pants and skirt would be enough I think.

Thanks, Bella! What line of work are you in? I was wondering about the level of fashion you’d be able to incorporate. Holding my thumbs doubly hard for you.
