Is the "work dress" dead?

Jeez, it's tough out there. 7 solutions.

Recently I was chatting with someone here or on IG who talked about how her weight fluctuates routinely as her hormones ping pong around. She was in a kind of a stalemate, because she was loathe to “invest” in suits for work until her weight got consistent.

But I felt like “F that, tyrannical hormones!” It’s 2024. We’re living longer and working longer. And we have more purchasing power too. Surely someone is making us something that’s work-right in even the strictest settings (law/accounting come to mind), something that has all the bullish swagger of a bad ass pantsuit but is forgiving as we float up and down on whatever “-pause” moment we’re in — or just G-d forbid want to eat a few tacos and/or salt a rim once in a while!

I vowed to find her something. And it seemed likely that this was an issue for lots of us. So I decided to tackle it here.
