Black women's suits - where do you find them?

[RainDancer]

I'm a lawyer so I have to wear black suits for work. Can I bloody find a decent flattering suit? Why is it so hard?! Used to rely on Hobbs who did some lovely ones, but they seem to have stopped doing a decent range. Help me Mumsnet!

The easiest start point seems to be shopstyle

And please ask for your thread title to be shuffled/edited- I read it as suits for black women!

This will largely depend on your budget. I get mine from Whistles.

Last season I got the most mega one at next. I know! Wool with stretch. Was their premium range. It kept it's shape so well too. Dunno if they have any in this winter

Banana republic do a lightweight wool range which they run year on year like hobbs used to do with their step weave wool stuff. The suits are bog standard blazer, pencil skirt etc

Austin reed can be exceptional quality for the price, as can some stuff from jaeger

Can I add to this thread, seeing as I came on to ask the exact same question? Sorry OP, hope you don't mind

So, same question, but with a event cut for a 5'2" size 18? Budget not a problem. I have every day suits from next, but need a couple of proper ones as I've recently had a promotion and need proper power suits rather than just work suits IYSWIM?

Thanks

Brill - thanks so much for the Banana Republic tip off. Just ordered a lovely suit from there.
