A few months ago, I moved into a new role at POPSUGAR that requires occasional face-time with clients. Shortly afterwards, I flew out of state to attend my first client-facing meeting. Considering this was a first for me, I had absolutely no idea what to wear. Obviously, working in fashion allows me more creativity with my office attire, but it also means that if I meet with clients, they have full right to really judge me based on how good my outfit is, as it’s a reflection of my work as an editor.
Around the same time, I discovered SUISTUDIO, which offers classic suiting with a modern spin. Think expert tailoring and fine Italian fabrics, but with on-trend silhouettes (belted blazers, short suits, cropped waistcoats), fresh hues (pale pink, powder blue, reddish orange), and cool prints (pinstripes, gingham, windowpane). In other words, they have the perfect professional pieces to impress a style-savvy client. I was thrilled when they offered to help dress me for my next meeting with their Tory Suit. While it comes with a jacket and matching trousers, you know I had to give it that Stephanie spin here — complete with a cropped bandeau and straight-leg jeans. Of course, for a more professional setting, I’d probably wear a combination of the two looks, keeping the jeans, but swapping the crop top and flats for a t-shirt and heeled mules.
Do you guys have go-to outfits you rely on to feel confident at the office? I’d love to know!
