#PowerLook: The New Power Suits for Every Career and Budget
Power suits have had a long history long before Hillary Clinton put them back on our radar. In fact, legendary actresses Katherine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich wore actual men's suits in Hollywood films in the '30s. And in the '40s, couturier Christian Dior created his legendary "New Look," a formfitting peplum jacket that cinched at the waist and was styled with a full skirt. This broke the traditional mindset that a suit had to consist of a blazer and trousers, although this still remains popular.
Power suits have changed and evolved over time, but one thing still remains — the feeling you have when wearing it: confident, powerful, and self-assured.
