Alexander McQueen Suits for Women: The 2027 Tailoring Guide

An Alexander McQueen suit for women is a jacket and trouser cut from the same cloth in the house’s Italian workshops, built on the Savile Row training Lee McQueen began at Anderson & Sheppard. For Spring Summer 2027 the McQueen tailoring line comes in three suit cloths: leaf crepe, wool barathea and black barathea trimmed in silk.

By Coveti Editorial. How we research and write: our editorial and AI policy.

Leaf crepe: the colour suits

Leaf crepe is a viscose and acetate crepe with a dry hand and a soft fall. McQueen cuts it into a single-breasted jacket with notched lapels and two flap pockets, and a bootcut trouser with belt loops and a back welt pocket. Both come in two colours. The midnight blue jacket and midnight blue bootcut trousers make a suit you can wear to the office and to dinner. The red jacket and red trousers make the same suit in a saturated red.

Wool barathea: the ivory suit

Barathea is a fine twill wool with a slightly pebbled face, the cloth used for evening tailoring. The Wool Barathea Double-Breasted Jacket has peak lapels, a slit chest pocket and a double back vent. Wear it with the Low-Waisted Bootcut Trousers, cut in the same ivory barathea and sitting low on the hip, for a summer suit that holds its line in heat.

Black barathea: evening suits

For evening the house trims black barathea. The Ribbon Frogging Tailored Trousers run satin Ribbon Frogging down each side, the cue of a tuxedo stripe. The Tree of Life Waistband Tailored Trousers carry a silver Tree of Life embroidery on the waistband in metal thread, glass beads and bullion; the matching embroidered shirt repeats it on the placket. For a skirt suit, the Low-Waisted Pencil Skirt sits low on the hip in the same black cloth.

Suits already in the collection

Earlier seasons are still in stock at Coveti. The Wool Pinstripe Single-breasted Jacket pairs with the Wool Pinstripe Cigarette Trousers, and the Peak Shoulder Leaf Crepe Jacket in light ivory pairs with the Leaf Crepe Cigarette Trouser in Light Ivory. The Tuxedo Trousers finish a black evening suit with any of the black jackets.

The suits at a glance

How we measured: prices are read from the Coveti catalogue and fabrics from the house composition on each product page. UK sizes are the sizes the house showed in stock for Britain and the United States on 1 November 2026, converted from the Italian scale (IT 36 is UK 4). Stock moves daily, so the product page is the final word.

How the suits fit

McQueen cuts on the Italian scale and Coveti lists the UK size: IT 36 is a UK 4, IT 40 a UK 8, IT 44 a UK 12. The house gives no sizing instruction on the Spring Summer 2027 suits, so take your usual UK size in both pieces. The jackets are shaped close through the waist; if your top and bottom sizes differ, buy the jacket and the trousers in different sizes, since each is sold separately. The McQueen size guide has the full conversion.

How to wear a McQueen suit

Wear the jacket buttoned with nothing under it but a camisole for evening, and over a white poplin shirt for the day. Split the pieces as well: the red jacket over black trousers, the ivory trousers with a black McQueen corset top. For more on the house cut, read our guide to Alexander McQueen blazers.
