Step 1
Evaluate the shape of your body. Many women take a different size on their top half than they do on their bottom half; if you're one of them, you will get the best fit if you purchase matching separates rather than a suit.
-
Step 2
Shop for color. It's okay to purchase a suit in color. If you are worried about wearing red, tone it down and go with a lovely claret suit. If you simply cannot go with color for fear it will diminish your professional image, go with a colorful blouse or sweater under your dark suit.

Step 3
Pay attention to shape. You are probably not built like a box, so why wear a suit that is built like one? Find a suit that is flattering to your shape and height.
-
Step 4
Go for fit. A professional yet feminine suit should be tailored to fit your curves comfortably. Just don't overdo it--you don't want a suit that emphasizes too much.
-
Step 5
Listen to your inner voice. If it says, "You look like your father in that pinstripe monstrosity," don't buy it. The pink linen can be just as professional paired with a navy blouse and pumps.
