I say it's not so much about where the suit came from but how it fits and how the woman wears it. You can work it if it's properly tailored and you accesorize it appropriately. That way, you can make it work for many different occasions and also bring out your personal style.
So far, my favourite suits have come from Jacob and I like them but I'm kinda glad that my office is fairly casual so I don't have to wear one everyday :) |

I would argue that the less you wear a suit the more worthwhile it is to buy a quality garment. The higher the quality the better the longevity (as well as cut and construction). If you only wear a suit a few times a year chances are you'll have one to three tops. That few makes it more reasonable to spend more on each one and the increased quality will result in getting many years out of it. |

I don't think your agruement with your husband is about the suits.
He just doesn't want you to go out after work and is finding ways to argue about it without saying it flat out. |

Hot. Hot. Hot.
Actually, it deserves two t's. HOTT!
Nothing like a hot girl in a suit...with the little skirt, perhaps a slit in the side that says, "I'm hot and I know it, but I'm also a professional so stop eye-ing me because this little slit is all the skin you're getting tonight". I could go on. But I wont. |

I love a good power suit. I actually just bought one last week because my suits from biz school are all too big. We have a huge work function next week and I can't wait to wear it. (Abercrombie...are you going to that? It's downtown! I can take the TTC home! free drinks!) |
Ok regarding what I said earlier... Skipper is one of those exceptions, and looks hot in her office attire.
Regarding the big office kick-off boozefest next week, I am unfortunately going to be stuck in Buenos Aires, I'm verclempt :) |

Longevity and durability are more important factors if you wear frequently. |

While this is true most people that wear suits everyday own more of them, say 7-10. If you drop a grand or more on each that's a lot of money so it becomes more difficult to spend as much. This gets compounded by the fact that if you wear a suit every day and you own 10 you are wearing each 26 times per year. Regardless of quality you're not likely to get more then 3 years out of a suit at that rate. This is why I say buy a good one if you rarely wear it... you'll get way more use out of it and it's easiser to splurg on two or three suits then it is ten. |
