Whether you're looking to build a professional wardrobe for your standard 9-5 role or even looking for the perfect outfit for a wedding or any other formal occasion, you can't go wrong with a perfectly tailored suit set.
While we have various options available, it's important to learn about the styles, colours and patterns available to help narrow down your search when it's time to add to your cart! Learning how to part with other items with your women's suit set, such as work shirts, will also help you pull off that modern, polished look that we all crave.
Ready to get sophisticated? Here are our top shopping tips when it comes to shopping for the right suit set for you:
Styles
It's imperative to choose a women's suit that flatters your figure. If you want to appear taller, we suggest going for a suit set with a blazer and a matching pencil skirt. If you have more of a pear-share, opt for a suit set that offers a padded shoulder blazer to balance out your silhouette. Choose suits that flatter your body type. To appear taller, go for a suit set with an A-line or pencil skirt. Have curves? You can't go wrong with a fitted blazer and slim-line trousers.
Colours
If you're shopping on a budget and can only purchase a few pieces to grow your workwear wardrobe, always stick to the classic suit colours, including black, charcoal grey and navy. Doing so allows you to break your suit sets into separate items and will enable you to mix and match your tops and bottoms to create several stylish outfits for the standard workweek. If you work in a less formal environment, don't be afraid to add variety by opting for a women's workwear suit in a bolder colour. This increases your wardrobe possibilities even more.
Materials
Depending on your work environment and the weather, specific fabrics are better suited for particular seasons. Some materials require more care whilst others last for years. When it hits the Summer months, go for suits made of linen, seersucker and poplin for some breathing room. Cotton and Polyester blends often provide extra comfort and stretch and are typically resistant to wrinkling when it comes to washing. When mixing and matching your suit sets, ensure the fabrics match to create a cohesive, put-together look.
Patterns
At Forcast, we adore our patterns as much as we love our classic block colours. While most women in corporate environments are more partial to solid shades, it's easy to expand a professional and sophisticated wardrobe by throwing patterns into the mix. A classic pinstripe or bold, monochromatic houndstooth or checkered print can sharpen any top or bottom for more corporate occasions. Better yet, prints can beautifully pair with a solid-shaded top or bottom.
Pairings
When it comes to styling clothing beneath your women's suit set, your options are endless. Simple camisoles or fitted long or short-sleeved worktops make fantastic accompaniments. Meanwhile, a classic button-down shirt in white, pastel pink or light blue creates a polished presentation ideal for job interviews and your entry into the corporate world.
Fit and comfort
Forcast’s collection of suit sets is where style meets comfort. Selecting the right suit set involves more than just silhouette — it’s about comfort throughout your workday. When choosing suits or work dresses, consider the fit; balancing luxurious volume and feminine silhouettes with movement for comfort. Look for signs of a good fit: seams sitting squarely on the shoulders, trousers breaking gently overshoes and jackets closing without pulling.

Make your wardrobe smarter, not harder, with the right women’s suit set. Forcast crafts suit sets for all day, everyday occasions. From professional settings to date night, a classic blazer and pants set for women in neutral tones such as black, navy or grey can project authority and polish.

Seasonal recommendations for women's suit sets
Adapting your suit wardrobe to the changing seasons ensures you remain comfortable and stylish throughout the year. During warmer months, choose women’s suit sets made from breathable fabrics like linen or lightweight wool. For the cooler seasons, layering is essential. Add a stylish overcoat or a vest and pants set to your ensemble to stay warm.
Changing your accessories with the seasons — such as adding a colourful scarf in the spring or a warm, textured blazer in the winter — can also refresh and adapt your standard suit set for various conditions, ensuring your women's suit set remains both functional and fashionable all year round.
