If you’re not really a dress kind of gal, then Alia (formerly known as Alia Anggun) has got you covered. The label’s latest collection has a range of super swanky floral printed pants and blouse outfits for you to choose from — a perfect substitute for a #powersuit.

Of course, Alia — which aims to bring high quality, trendy and elegant modest fashion to its customers — has gorgeous skirts and lace dresses too, so really, it has got something for everyone. The only downside is that it only offers womenswear, so if you’re looking to be matchy-matchy with the men in your family, you might want to check out the other brands on the list. That said, we definitely recommend checking it out.
