[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it still that way? I worked for DOJ in NYC in the 90s and early 2000s, and my friends and I had a running joke about how you could pick out the DC-based women when they were in town by their colorful and dresses and suit ensembles.

It’s not NY in the 90s anymore. We can wear color and still be fashionable.[/quote]

I'm talking this sort of thing, the suits that came as a set fro, the "suit" department at whatever store. Apparently it still exists, dowdy skirt length and all.

I had a suit like this 25-30 years ago. Got tons of compliments and positive attention when I wore it. [/quote]

That was essential a lifetime ago. Get with the times. Fashion changes. *clutches pearls*[/quote]

DP.  I'd just *love* to see what you consider fashionable these days.   :roll: [/quote]

Suits that take cues from menswear with tailoring that compliments female bodies:

This has a skirt length like the awful red suit above, but it works here because the jacket has the right shape and proportions. Everything is wrong about the red suit jacket . . . the 3/4 sleeves, the length, the peplum effect, the weird notches on the collar.

You're supposed to cut off those arm tags right?

I feel like I see a ton of variations of these outfits in DC but likely frumpier because of a lack of tailoring. I think the menswear version of what a lot of Hill starters look like, pants plus button down and a mismatched blazer you can throw in if you need it. I wouldn't call it fashionable.
