pantsuited

In coordinated workwear

Pantsuited describes someone, almost always a woman, wearing a pantsuit—a matched jacket and trousers ensemble.

The word typically appears in descriptions of professional women, especially politicians and executives: the pantsuited senator took the podium.

It can carry subtle connotations ranging from power-dressing approval to dismissive commentary on a woman's appearance.
