Those who want to spend five days a week in an office remain an elusive few, but everyone is feeling the pull of beautiful boardroom ready clothes. Power dressing is back, but with a relaxed elegance that is appealing and easy to wear. Heading into the holiday season and looking ahead to spring, clothes are wonderfully wearable.
When we have these shopping moments in time, when it’s easy to fall in love with the styles on offer and possible to imagine many places they’ll be worn, it’s smart to snap up staples that will look fabulous in the moment and sustain the wardrobe when the looks offered by runway renegades are not as kind.
Giorgio Armani
Add these.
Jackets mean business with statuesque shoulders, some with cinched in waists that create a beautiful silhouette.
MM Lafleur
Katharine Hepburn, Julia Roberts, and Lauren Hutton have been slouchy trouser icons for decades. Thank goodness everyone else has finally caught on to the transformative power of the relaxed pant. After a decade of skinny pants and leggings, chic women are loving the versatility of styles that hang in flattering folds.

Wrap dresses and shirt dresses are the most flattering and at home in every locale and occasion. These are sophisticated versions of the go-to styles, with a sleeker look than the puff sleeves and cinched waists of the last few years. Pack one for every trip in November, even for cozy, casual weekends. Who knows when the opportunity for an important business meeting or rendezvous might present itself?
