The best suits for women don’t have to be expensive — our favorite picks are mostly around $250

SuitShop is an incredible place to get suits that feel like custom fits for much less money. In fact, most of their options hover around $225 for a full suit. Both the jacket and the pants in all of their offerings come in short, regular, and long lengths — and the sizes range from a 00 to a 24.

Though you could dress it down for work, SuitShop’s Women’s White Tuxedo is a showstopper at formal events and elegant outings. I’m five-foot-two and the short option hits me perfectly at the ankle. I absolutely love how custom it feels, despite it being only $250. The material is also luxurious. It’s made of satin and expertly tailored to flatter your figure. I’ve worn it with a cheeky bra to a birthday dinner, with a silk blouse to a professional event, and have even suggested it to a friend as the perfect bridal suit.

If you want a suit made of a more casual fabric, staples like the Deep Teal Suit and the Charcoal Grey Suit are made of a stretchier polyester and spandex blend.

We love Quince for hitting the sweet spot between high quality and low prices. Almost everything we’ve tested from them has been worth it for the price — and we particularly love their workwear. Though you can’t buy a top and bottom together as a suit, you can browse their blazer section and their work pants options and put together a matching look that will cost you about $120.

They have seasonally appropriate picks like a linen blazer or one made from Italian wool, but we’re particular fans of their versatile Ponte pants and matching blazer.

The Quince Ponte pants are some of our favorite work pants ever, earning the award for the best stretchy pants in our guide to the best work pants. Our team has tested a bunch of these, and we are obsessed with their stretchy waistband and legging-like comfort. They also come in a whole slew of cuts like bootcut, straight leg, super wide leg, and skinny. You can also get them in different lengths to accommodate petites or tall folks.

Express’ suit section is a great go-to for suits that are colorful and trendy. Unlike some retailers that focus on muted and traditional styles, you can find options for standout skirt suits, vibrant colors, and even options with shorts in the summer. Plus, after the work day is done, you can easily hit a happy hour with friends in the same outfit without feeling like you’re dressed too stuffy to be drinking a margarita.

The Spanx Perfect Pant is famous for being — well, perfect. With over a thousand five star reviews on the website and lots of buzz about how comfortable they are, these might just become one-half of your new favorite Spanx suit. The pants come in petite, regular, and tall, in addition to a bunch of cuts like flare, wide-leg, slim, split-seam, and more.

Our Executive Editor, Sally Kaplan, loves the petite wide-leg version: “The waist on the wide-leg pair was smoothing but not uncomfortably tight. I loved that they just slipped right on (good for busy mornings) and that the weight of the pants keeps the legs from blowing around too much.” See our full review of the Spanx Perfect Pant to see which other cuts were our favorites. The Perfect Blazer pairs with the pants for a look that is classic — but far more comfortable and sculpting than you might expect.
