Here are some corporate style lessons that we can all learn from Amal Clooney.

Know the power of a good tailored dress

Last year, Amal visited the United Nations in New York City wearing a white knee-length shift with sleeves with a red and blue detail around her waist. As seen in pictures posted by the Daily Mail, Amal paired the look with black pumps and jazzed it up with a red bag. Her outfit, coupled with simple drop earrings and understated makeup made her look professional and chic.

For work, Amal favors dresses with a bit of structure that hit just above the knee. For similar styles, check out Banana Republic’s collection of sheath dresses, or J Crew’s versatile Resume dress.

Experiment with fun accessories

Amal can often be seen carrying a colored bag whenever she wears an outfit in a neutral color. She also wears big shades to shield her eyes while out and about.

Wear great shoes

The lawyer knows that shoes can definitely make or break an outfit, so apart from classic pumps, Amal also has a collection of heeled shoes in different prints and colors to mix and match with her work wardrobe. As seen in photos published by Refinery 29, Amal paired a white pencil skirt, matching top, and a Burberry trench with a bright red purse and patterned heels.

Give ladylike skirt suits a try

Amal favors neutral skirt suits in tweed, but she can also rock a red skirt suit like a boss. Pair the ladylike look with good heels and an unfussy hairstyle for a younger take on power dressing.
