Good Brands for Work Suiting Separates Between $50-200

Now on the other hand if you’re looking to buy suiting that is budget friendly, there are many options for you as well. While these brands cost much less then the first three I visited, they are still great choices and offer some pretty great business separates for a variety of ages and body types. I guarantee one or more of these brands will work for you, so here’s details on what each brand has to offer and extra tips on the fits.

Semantics is a Nordstrom private label brand, which means you won’t find it anywhere else. The majority of its pieces are found in the Point of View department. Nordstrom has really developed this line and made a name for it in the suiting world.

It offers suiting that fits really well on most body types. Its jackets offer extra room in the bust area and also have feminine lapels and trimming. Its pants are very flattering with mostly wide waistbands, like the ones above that are styled with a contoured waistband and a full leg with low rise fit. Additional business separates offered by the brand include cardigans and blouses, that pair really well with their pants and skirts.

JCrew offers suiting in a variety of wools from stretch wool to crepe wool and high quality cotton. In their pants they offer a city fit, their lowest rise and sits just above the hip. This fit is best for a straight up and down body type. Also their favorite fit, the most universal fit with a medium rise that sits below the waist. This fit works best for a curvy body type, those with a little more tush and/or hips. Their jackets run big, so try going a size or two down from what you usually wear.

Calvin Klein suiting fits similar to Semantics suiting, so it’s good for most body types. The detailing tends to be simpler and comes in basic colors like black, grays, and blues. Also if you like your suiting to be thicker fabric than usual this is your brand.

CK has some gorgeous business dresses that you can pair with a blazer. Like this dress with a light weight flutter sleeve top and skirt bottom with flattering belt. Pair it with their blazer that has contour seaming and secures with a single button for a smart finish.

Halogen is another Nordstrom private label brand, found in the Point of View department. Its fits tend to be much younger than that of the Semantiks brand. Its pants fit straight up and down for a more narrow hip body “boyish” type.

This brand has a lot of separates options with cute jackets, trousers, skirts, blouses, and cardigans. Though Halogen has some stylish youthful detailing watch out for garments that get to be a little too detailed, make sure its evenly styled. For example if it has a stylized lapel on a jacket and decorative buttons make sure the pockets are not too much as far as size and placement.
