Day to night: Dressing up the power suit

Stylists suggest ways to style five kinds of blazers to help you power through the day

One of the biggest stars of the latest legal drama All's Fair (streaming on JioHotstar), starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close and Niecy Nash, is the classic power suit. Across the show’s nine episodes, the actors are seen in twoor three-piece suits with turbans, big hoops, bigger ties or two belts at a time, flipping the idea of a corporate uniform on its head.

Over the past few months, more brands have been experimenting with the power suit. Former US First Lady Michelle Obama was recently seen in a custom, wool check suit with a cropped, gold buttoned jacket and matching pleat-front pants from the 2026 Chanel collection. Closer home, actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rasha Thadani have been seen wearing blazers in soft linen as well as crushed silk.

We zeroed in on five styles of blazers and asked three celebrity stylists, Divyak D'Souza, Isha Bhansali and Akshay Tyagi, to suggest ways to dress them up for office as well as an evening get-together, to help you create your own version of power dressing.
