Do we all agree that our work outfits should compliment us? That our suits should help us look our best, professional yet feminine? Okay then, why do I see women wearing shiny suits?

If you look closer at the photo on the left (it's the Albert Nipon Three Button Melange Suit) you'll see that even the model looks kind of weird. That's because the rayon material, combined with the cut, the finish and the thickness exaggerates all of her 'not-too-proud-of' qualities.

So, if you ever see a suit like this, don't buy it. It will make you look fat even if you're not, with bony bits sticking out in unexpected places. A soo much better way to go would be to buy a quality wool suit, which will hug your bod in a much more appropriate way.
