Yes, you need to own a suit

I grew up in the Yuppie ’80s, when women’s suits were essentially men’s suits with skirts and floppy bow ties (remember those? I had one that was hot pink with white polka dots–awesome). The idea was that in order to be taken seriously by the men in the office, you had to look like one of them, except of course that your suit had to have a skirt because pants were TOO masculine. It was hard to win, really.

Fortunately, women and their suits have come a long way in the past twenty years, but the suit is still a difficult wardrobe piece. So many offices are business casual these days, and so many of us are working from home or part time or in non-traditional fields, and it’s hard to know how to wear a suit, or even if you really need one in the first place.
