The clothes we wear say a lot about who we are as well as our hopes and ambitions. While women’s suits are a wardrobe staple that remains in style, we’re really seeing them everywhere in 2026.

From celebrities on the 2026 TV WEEK Logies red carpet and talk show hosts to current working royals. Wearing a chic suit can elevate anyone’s look and make a powerful fashion statement.

Rosie O’Donnell made a triumphant return to her talk show duties, taking over Jimmy Kimmel Live in August 2026. And while her opening monologue garnered plenty of attention, her statement suit drew plenty of eyeballs as well!

Rosie looked incredible in a custom-made suit by Melbourne-based tailors Reigner.

“I have loved seeing so many women wearing statement tailored pieces,” said our Style Director Mattie Cronanan.

“In particular, I have been loving Phillipa Northeast’s character Sybylla Melvyn in ‘My Brilliant Career’ shockingly wearing a men’s tuxedo in the 1900s. The costumes designed by Mariot Kerr were exaggerated and oversized to give the feeling of Sybylla borrowing from the boys. Danielle Cormack and Kate Box also attended the 66th TV WEEK Logie Awards this past weekend, both looking strong and sharp in suiting.”

Reigner clothing is known for their strong tailoring and bold embroidered custom suiting. Rosie’s suit was their Pink Protea Suit emblazoned with Australian natives and rhinestones, and was the ultimate power look for her first night hosting.

Queen Letizia of Spain has a penchant for fine suits and is often photographed in timeless tailored pieces. In June 2025, she was seen in an oversized, double-breasted turquoise-grey linen suit from Mango. The ensemble was effortlessly chic, which is the best thing about a suit — you always look put together in one!

What should I look for in a good suit?

When shopping for a good suit, whether it’s for work, a wedding, or just because, fit is the most important factor. The shoulders should align perfectly with your own, the jacket should fall around your knuckles, and a hint of shirt cuff should show beneath the sleeve. Trousers should just touch the top of your shoes without bunching.

What’s the best fabric for a suit?

Fabric is the next big consideration when picking out a timeless women’s suit. Opt for quality wool or wool blends for year-round wear, and avoid synthetic-heavy options that don’t breathe or drape as well.

Construction matters too: a half or full canvas suit will mould to your body over time and last longer, while cheaper fused options can lose shape. Pay attention to the lapels (notch is classic, peak is bold), the number of buttons (two is most versatile), and pocket style (flap for standard, patch for casual).
