Being the boss lady at work is no cakewalk; you give your 101 percent, juggle between team meetings, briefings, and daily targets, and coordinate with your team all day. But just like your attitude at work, the sartorial choices also matter. Mastering the art of power dressing is the key to climbing up the ladder and breaking the glass ceiling, if not already. Fall fashion for a 9-5 wardrobe is all about layering, making bold sartorial choices that make a statement, and looking the best, even if that means risking a little. Here are some chic fall workwear inspirations to help you slay every meeting this season!

Saint Laurent’s Fall/Winter 2024 Women’s collection by Anthony Vaccarello unveiled at the Paris Fashion Week, earlier this year, featured this stunning suit. The oversized double-breasted jacket with broad shoulders and covered buttons was teamed with high-waisted pants with single pleat, in chocolate brown hue and is perfect to elevate your work wardrobe. Add a similar colour coat, perhaps with a different texture, while you are outdoors.

Michael Kors' Fall/Winter 2024 line showcased their 'Timeless' collection, which was all about the ‘30s juxtaposed with the streamlined luxury of the ‘90s and the laid-back casual attitude of today. The pencil skirt is the star of this fall. This pencil skirt is teamed with a black hoodie and layered with a tailored blazer. This look is all things comfy, without taking anything away from the power-dressing equation. This timeless and classic skirt suit with a winter twist is perfect if you love to experiment.
