Anais Mali at Dolce & Gabbana

Akuol de Mabior at Paul Smith

Our pockets aren’t quite deep enough to buy the designer original so we were pleased to come across the women’s suits available at Express.  Our favourite is the Ultimate Double Weave Hourglass Jacket ($138) which has quite a Dolce & Gabbana vibe to it. We also love that it isn’t in plain black. Jewel tones are hot for Autumn and they look great against a brown skin.

The jackets at Express are great figure fixers – the Luxury Stretch One Button Jacket or One Button Tux Jacket are great for hiding a generous butt or helping to balance out a pear shape. Roll up the sleeves to show off your skinny arms.

For a great work wear look – whether you’re in a creative or corporate environment – team the Ultimate Double Weave Hourglass Jacket with its matching trousers ($79.90) which come in a figure flattering boot cut leg. If you’re a bit of a colour virgin, tone the look down with the Boucle Textured Editor Pant ($88). Or really treat yourself and buy both; if you get one pair of trousers you get another with %50% off!

Express is one of the few American retailers that offer international shipping so wherever you are, you can take advantage of this great deal.
