Have any of you tried the brand Argent?

Lilac and tomato and teal are some of the available colors.

Oh wow, this is going to be death of my budget I have never heard of this brand till now, but looking at the website I want pretty much everything, especially that teal blazer. I could wear complete suits only a handful of times per year, but broken up as separates I could wear these pieces to work all the time. And to make the matter worse, they have a DC store. I sense trouble.

I will see when I can get there- probably not in the next couple of weeks as my schedule is crazy. However once I am there I will take lots of photos and submit a full report

Heard of the brand but have not seen it IRL . I love the idea of a good suit , but I think that ship has sailed in my business . While a blazer can work on its own , a suit pant always looks like a suit pant . That said , I'm loving those colours .

I love a good suit but I have not worn one since the 1980s. Beautiful colours.

Looks like they are sewn-in-USA, and also have stores in NYC and SF.

Eagerly awaiting reports from those of you who can visit.

I like these pieces too, and could see some of them being quite versatile actually.

Back when I wore suits the issue was the pants dating and wearing out before the jacket, I often used to get pants and a skirt and a jacket.

I like the chalkstripe pants a lot.

I would love a job where I could dress in suits, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't love the work.
I do fantasize about having that look. They have some gorgeous styles.

I have no call for suits but I still wear them
For me, part of the attraction is how austere, neutral, anonymous, they are, so I'm not looking for patterned or bright coloured suits.
I completely understand others want to inject some prettiness and trendiness in their suits, though, because they inevitably skew very mannish.

I wear suits to work and love these looks - a real suit feels very fresh after so many years of separates!

Suits are great for certain situations. I so rarely need one. I purchased one at NAS last year and have only put it on once. It's the sort of item that is necessary in my professional life, but only on rare occasion. I am not sure if adding a fun color would increase my frequency of wearing one. A suit is, after all, still a suit. However, these are beautiful!

I am happy that I don't have to wear suits for work any more but these make me wish I did. Love the fabrics and slightly edgy style of these.

That is one seriously tempting website! Fingers crossed I don't get too carried away in the next fifteen minutes.

I am the biggest fan of suits! Power dressing is one of my favourite past times - I don't do it as much anymore. I also love the combination of a classic shirt with a pair of jeans, I think it's probably more of a toned down version of power dressing.

I have zero need for a suit and haven't owned one in years (and even my remaining few blazers get very little wear). But that teal is really amazing and makes me wish such a thing had been available back when I needed a more professional, polished wardrobe.
