Complete with tapered pants and distinctive draped details, this beige suit has jumped straight to the top of our wish list. A lust-worthy addition to any corporate closet, the relaxed fit also ensures it works just as hard after hours.

The key to nailing occasionwear is to look for pieces that are chic, obviously, but also those that are comfortable and, crucially, can be worn again and again.
