It’s Official: There’s No Wrong Way to Wear a Power Suit

I’m of the mind that everyone should construct a wardrobe that meets their needs, fulfills their desires and exceeds their wildest sartorial fantasies. But I’m also of the mind that every single person should own at least one power suit. Because no matter how casual, or active, or grungy your day-to-day is, everyone needs at least one outfit that makes them feel like the badass ruler of the universe they are. And I’ve found that sense of empowerment is often most easily accomplished with a little help from a jacket with a lapel and a killer pair of trousers.

You might not be a suit person. Or a blazer person. Or even a pants person. Maybe the thought of wearing anything remotely professional gives you the heebie-jeebies—and honestly, anyone who’s ever spent a day in a mobility-restricting pencil skirt can probably understand why. But not all power suits are the same. In fact, now that power suits are a bona fide 2019 fashion trend, the power suit selection at your favorite retailers is vast and diverse. Textiles are available in vibrant colors, muted shades, bold prints and subtle patterns. Trousers come cropped, tailored, flowy or boxy. Blazers are available in every shape, size, length and fit imaginable. There exists a power suit that meets your needs, fulfills your desires and exceeds your wildest sartorial fantasies—I assure you.

And even more diverse than the selection of power suits currently on the market? The potential for styling them. The street style sphere is loaded with power suit outfits that run the gamut of the trend. Some are bold, others subtle. Some offer contemporary takes on the power suit trend, others stick to the power suit movement in its most classic sense. There are power suits paired with tees, bras, button-downs, turtlenecks—and everything in between. The 2019 power suit trend is just waiting to be tapped into, so stock up on suits and on power suit outfit inspo; you’ll need both in equal measure.
