Collared shirts are a must have for rocking the power suit, we suggest investing in plenty of different colors and styles. We love the way the addition of the collared shirt adds to the powerful style but still highlights a woman’s femininity and can be used to add softness to the overall look. A contrasting collar shirt is a great way to go, if your looking to add in a little fun and playfulness to the power suit look.
Sleek Simple Pumps
There is no better footwear for the office than a perfectly polished and classic pair of pumps. We recommend investing in black, gray and nude pumps just to be sure you’ll have a pair to match any suit combo you may wear. If in the event pumps aren’t your thing, or you just want to go with a more interesting shoe then look to pointed ankle strap heels.
Fitted Trousers
Fitted and tailored trousers are what make the power suit look so commending and conservative. Make sure to find trousers that not only fit properly around the waist but also have enough length to accommodate high heeled shoes.
