Black tailored suit

Please could anyone point me in the direction of a black suit, either trousers or a skirt?
I’m not very tall (5’3”) narrow hips but not much waist. Come out as classic on Kibbe if that makes a difference.

I have a The Kooples suit bought in recent years which suits me, particularly the trousers.wrong colour for my current needs. Have tried on lots of different shaped trousers in Reiss and their cut is not for me at all, even in petite.

I like Me+Em, Harris Wharf, Equipment for shirts.

It has to be black, not dark navy or charcoal.

Thanks in advance.

Could you get the Hobbs Rae jacket plus the Rae skirt and trousers, all in petite, for maximum flexibility, OP?

Thanks @TheSquareMile i will try them. One of the comments is that there’s too much fabric in the upper thigh which is something M&S also have a habit of doing. (I have skinny legs.)

Thank you though. Don’t want to be ungrateful.
