Dress Like a Boss

By definition, power dressing is whatever you want it to be, which more often than not means breaking a few rules: Statement separates that turn the concept of his-for-her dressing on its head, deeply romantic silhouettes punctuated by exaggerated proportions, and traditional office wear rendered in surprising fabrics and hues. Below, the workhorses of your work wardrobe.
