You don’t have to dress like a corporate drone to establish your authority. More so than ever, power dressing is whatever makes you feel the most empowered, confident and at ease. From tailored suits to military jumpsuits, see the new power suit in its different forms—and how you can recreate them. Time to take some style notes.

1. Statement blazer

1/12

A statement blazer never fails. Throw it on over classic separates.

2. Asymmetric wonder

2/12

Your typical shirt skirt pairing with a twist. Find an anchor—in this case a tartan print—to tie the look together.

3. In combat

3/12

A military-inspired jumpsuit cinched in the waist is equal parts edgy and stylish.

4. Daring florals

4/12

The floral print never goes out of style. Wear yours with neutrals and knee high boots.

5. Utilitarian leather

5/12

Leather on leather has never looked cooler.

6. Tough glove

6/12

Gloves have risen to the forefront this season—they boss up any outfit. Freshen up your look with these haute new accessories.

7. Good puff

7/12

Bold puff sleeves give an otherwise feminine frock some edge. Pair it with your favourite sneakers for a sporty, casual vibe.

8. Longline vest

8/12

Add dimension to your outfit by layering with a long vest.

9. Monochrome chic

9/12

Tonal dressing is the easiest way to achieve an effortlessly chic look.

10. Plaid pop

10/12

Give steely monochrome outfits a pop of colour or print.

11. Sporty sleek

11/12

We love black-on-black layering in a sporty meets sleek ensemble.

12. Extra-wide

12/12

Give your outfit some shape and draw attention to your waist with a corset belt in a contrasting shade.
