Not every office closed for the pandemic, but if yours did, you know the butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling that accompanies a return to the commuting life. Suddenly, we’re reconsidering what to wear to work like it’s our first day on the job. We’re not just getting dressed again; we’re getting dressed professionally again.
Repeat after us: Don’t overthink your work outfits. The simplest solution to any and all workwear dilemmas is right in front of you in the form of a classic suit set. This fall, slightly oversized blazers and tailored yet stretchy separates are everywhere from Theory to Tibi and several designers in between. Long-lost strong shoulders and elevated fabrics bring the polish; looser silhouettes keep all the comfort we’ve grown used to these last eighteen months. There’s an instant confidence boost waiting in these suits that sweatpants simply can’t compete with. (And for those on the fence, some of the best suits fall within an impulse-buy price range at our favorite online stores.)
There may be lingering questions about our brave new world of hybrid work, but what to wear this fall won’t be one of them. Ahead, find 18 suit sets that look great on Zoom and even better back at the office.

Double-Breasted Suit Blazer
Leave it to style icon Pernille Teisbaek to design the perfect fall suit. These khaki separates are oversized yet still polished, and the full set hits for under $250. By the time you finish reading this sentence, our order will be confirmed.
From oversized shirting to cropped sweaters to crisp suiting, Frankie Shop is a minimalist’s dream. Swap the flip flops here for mules and the ribbed tank for a turtleneck, and this sage green set is more than ready for a fall commute (and heaps of compliments).
Remain Birger Christensen is home to some of the coolest samples of Scandinavian style. Naturally, we want its pastel take on the plaid suit in our back-to-work rotation.
Mara Hoffman is making oversized suiting we’re loving right now in the coolest fall prints. Trust us: Everyone on your floor will want to know where this (ethically produced) buffalo check set came from.
For a suit that’ll never go out of style, start at Theory. Its latest wool separates are made for mixing and matching with a sustainable twist: Both pieces in this suit are fully traceable through every step of the supply chain, meaning there aren’t any environmentally dubious practices contributing to your perfect suit.
This tailored shorts suit remains playful yet professional through colder months—just add tights. When you’ve clocked out for the weekend, the recycled wool blazer is also at home with denim and Chelsea boots.
We asked how to dress for work during transitional weather. Vince answered with its streamlined blazer vest: A piece that can be worn alone on warmer days and layered with a bodysuit or longsleeve tee when temperatures drop.
There’s no denying it: Zara makes great suits at impulse-buy-inducing prices. Our cart is currently filled with slouchy blazers and pants in fall shades, like this dusty red set.
Argent’s for-women-by-women designs are a must for a well-rounded work wardrobe. Their slouchy fall suits are made with high-quality performance fabrics to withstand the toughest meetings, and roomy pockets that can hold more than your phone. A breezy plaid blazer and pants are our first choice for fall.
For a comfortable twist on classic suiting, M.M.LaFleur’s knit suit sets have all the smoothing and structure of older separates with a hint more stretch. This set feels like working in your favorite sweatpants…but looks nothing like them.
From the subtle silver studs to the asymmetric blazer closure to the pleated skort, this Tibi set isn’t for timid dressers. Are you up to the styling challenge?
