Different coloured suit jackets

[fivepies]

Desperately seeking the knowledge of Mumsnet style and beauty gurus! I need to improve my wardrobe (more responsibility at work) and have got one navy and one black suit. However, I am struggling to find any different coloured suit jackets. They need to be formal (not blazer/boyfriend style) but I'd like to be able to mix and match some jackets with skirts and trousers. Pinks, light blues etc.

Is it the wrong time of year? Or am I looking the wrong places? Ranges that are petit are best for me but I can also wear regular. Any help much appreciated, thank you!

I've been searching too, but for bright colours such as red, purple royal blue or bright pink. Not much out there in pale colours at this time of year and most I've seen may be less formal than you want,. Will smart blazers really not work? One route I'm looking checked or striped jackets with plain skirts/trousers.
These may be too old-fogey for you (but suit me at my age!) but have you looked at:
Just Last Season
Jacques Vert
Phase 8
John Lewis

Have a look at massimo dutti. I have just bought this www.massimodutti.com/m/gb/women/blazers/view-all/green-textured-weave-wool-blazer-c911146p7621533.html and www.massimodutti.com/m/gb/women/outerwear/view-all/patterned-cardigan-with-pockets-c911123p7489093.html and I would buy any of the cream coloured jackets they have in if I didn't already have 2!

anything here?

Thanks for all your suggestions. I really like the Massimo Dutti blue jacket. Have found some things in the Phase 8 sale:
nice jacket and a cream jacket from John Lewis.

It's difficult to not look like you are going to a wedding....or looking like the Queen if too tweedy IYKWIM!

Really do need to expand my work wardrobe more so if anyone has any more suggestions they are really welcome, thanks.

Karen Millen is always worth a look for smart jackets, though wait for the sales as they are somewhat overpriced.

I've also picked up a couple of lovely fitted blazers from Mango, but they are very hit and miss on quality.

Ask Angela Merkel....
