FRANCINE | Tailored suit for women still working

I am sixty two and still working. It is surprisingly hard to buy clothes that assume that.

A great deal of what is sold to women our age assumes we have stopped. Retired, at home, resting, softly dressed. For those of us still in meetings, still running something, that assumption is quietly irritating and it leaves a hole in the wardrobe. Francine is cut for the women who are still going.

The suit is tailored, following the line of the body closely enough to be taken seriously in a room, and it is cut from a fabric soft enough to be worn all day rather than endured until five. That combination is the whole point: the authority of a proper suit without the discomfort that used to be the price of it, which is why the same outfit carries a meeting and the dinner afterward.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• It is cut to be taken seriously. A proper tailored line, which changes how a room responds before you say anything.
• Comfortable enough for a full day. The structure is in the cut rather than in a stiff fabric, so it does not need to be survived.
• Work and the evening after. A meeting, a dinner and a special event, all from the same set.
• Nothing dated about it. A clean modern cut rather than the boxy suits most of us wore in the nineties.

How it fits

Sizes S through 2XL. Tailored, so it sits closer than the relaxed sets in this collection. Size on the bust and the shoulder, and take the larger of two if you are between, since a jacket that pulls across the back cannot be corrected afterward.

A few recent reviews

I wore it to present to a board and it did exactly what I needed it to do.
Bernadette S., Scottsdale

Soft to the touch and still holds a line. I have no idea how.
Muriel P., Boise

Not a boxy nineties suit. That was my worry and it was unfounded.
