No longer are women confined to the 1980s definition of the power suit in order to walk into the office with a girl boss persona. Now women can embrace femininity alongside powerful details, whimsical prints and athleisure ready accessories when creating a workwear wardrobe.
Tory Burch has made a name for herself with her all-American brand. The collection did not disappoint as it remained true to her clean and classic aesthetic. Breezy skirts were paired with loose fitting camisole tops and cardigans.
Billowing dresses with colorful prints and details such as scalloped collars and gathered sleeves offer easy options for a summer day in the office.
Accessories featured grandma inspired quilting, but without any stuffiness or outdated vibes.
The power suit got a fresh update for the season with soft cream trousers paired with a blouse and tweed coat. And other renditions came with embroidery and delicate camisole blouses.
Power dressing doesn’t mean that a sense of fun must be sacrificed. Prints and textures were mixed without hesitation. Polka dots of different sizes were mixed with tweeds and solids. The key to the technique was a common color palette. In this case, navy and creme kept the look refined and office appropriate.
Headed out to lunch or meeting friends after work? Heels won’t hinder you with these sportier looks. Romantic dresses and skirts complete with florals, ruffles and bows got a modern edge with coordinating sneakers for the girl boss on the go.
The takeaway from this Tory Burch collection? You can be pretty and powerful. Power dressing offers the chance to dress for where you’re going without sacrificing style, femininity and a touch of whimsy.
