A good suit is like sartorial armor. If that sounds dramatic, you need only slip on a beautifully constructed blazer and take note of how you instantly stand a little straighter. Hold your head a little higher. Feel a sudden surge of confidence—which can be channeled to tackle something intimidating, be it an important meeting or a barrage of to-dos.

When it comes to suiting, Giorgio Armani is in a class of its own. And while the famed Italian fashion house has since expanded into many other categories, it’s their impeccably cut jackets and trousers that keep us coming back. We visited the newly unveiled Giorgio Armani boutique on Madison Avenue (the 12-story building has multiple floors dedicated to fashion, of course, plus a restaurant and 10 private residences—one bought by Mr. Armani himself) to try on the latest womenswear for size.

Slim or oversize, double-breasted or tuxedo-inspired—a structured blazer will always be a moment.

While we famously love a menswear-inspired silhouette, there’s something undeniably chic about a ladylike fitted jacket.
