Professional, Smart & Chic - A Style Blog for Professional Women
A work-appropriate look you can get excited about. I got a lot of great feedback from readers about the beautiful Classiques Entier Platine Weave Suiting (shown here) from Nordstrom that was featured on Commandress last month. The Platine Weave Suiting is still full price, but today’s post features some other great items from Classiques Entier that have [...]
A work-appropriate look you can get excited about. When you spend a lot of time looking for stylish professional clothes for women, sometimes you have to wonder if a classic, attractive and affordable suit is an elusive and mythical creature – something that is often discussed, but rarely seen in person.

Commandress Special Reports – “Smart, Chic & Made in the USA” is a month-long feature that will spotlight American-made clothing. Thank you to Reader M for introducing me to J.McLaughlin on a trip to New York earlier this year! Reader M raved about their washable jersey dresses, which can suffer all sorts of mistreatment with [...]
A work-appropriate look you can get excited about. True story: within a day of purchasing the black suit jacket and skirt that I am wearing in my picture on the Commandress About page (for the record: a BASLER suit from Bloomingdale’s, which unfortunately is not available online), two friends offhandedly remarked, “Well, you hate black clothes [...]
A work-appropriate look you can get excited about. There’s nothing quite like a great suit to make you look and feel the part of a professional. To serve its purpose, a basic suit shouldn’t have bells and whistles, but good tailoring can keep it looking sharp and attractive. “Love” is a word I throw [...]
