how do you feel about suits like this?

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

well suits are supposed to match so you have no worries there! I'm not opposed to this kind of detailing on a suit, but what bothers me about this is the length of the jacket. It's awkwardly short, so that even if you tuck in whatever blouse you'd wear underneath, I think there would still be a gap, especially if you raise your arms or bend over at all. I'm all for cropped jackets if they're meant to be worn loose and open to show the blouse underneath, whereas this is designed to be worn closed. Does that make any sense?

Kitty · Hermes

Hmm..the jacket looks too young to me to really be used as a professional suit (especially in a really conservative environment).

I'm also not crazy about the pockets on the pants.

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

I agree with SB and Kitty. It's not awful but I think you could do better.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I like the pieces worn individually but not together as a suit. I am not really digging that weird piping on the pants as well.

Kelly · Hermes

I am uncomfortable just looking at that jacket. I like the pants, though

jaymiek · Coach

imo there's too much going on in both pieces...I think you could do better elsewhere.
