Suit Up: How to take charge in a power suit?
updated the 6 October 2015 à 22:53Trade up your usual office uniform for a chic tailored set that’s guaranteed to leave you feeling ever ready to take on those meetings.
Essential at the office is the power suit – it gives you that extra oomph to get those points across at your next meeting, and is great for perking up the string of uniform shirt-and-pencil-skirt outfits you might have been wearing all week. Since we were introduced to the notion of power dressing for ladies from the likes of pioneers like Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, the female power suit has been the go-to for leading ladies and girl bosses everywhere and we’re here to prove to you it doesn’t always have to be about shoulder pads, monotone shades or shapeless pants.
Look chic but still appropriate for the board room when you opt for a modern print in a muted colour, or a bright colour in a flattering cut. If the culture of your workplace is a little more forgiving on the fashion front, opt for a printed shirt to jazz up a classic suit and finish off with minimalist heels. Steer clear of oversized shapes and choose slim, fitting silhouettes instead to keep things professional.
