Strong on style

Angular jackets, crisp suits, and tasteful layering, updated with prints and full-on color, are the keys to power dressing.

All the right angles

**On Danica:** Oversized jacket, **Joey Samson**; dangling pearl earrings, pearl necklace, and gold clutch, all
**Ann Ong**; shoes, model’s own; **On Eddi**: Light tan suit, **Randy Ortiz**; checkered shirt with black collar,
**Joey Samson**; shoes, stylist’s own

Forget Dynasty shoulder pads! Opt for broad, angular shoulders and a relaxed, contemporary fit for comfort and, at the same time, stature. Put on heels for added poise and posture.

Color wash

*Cobalt blue suit, **Joey Samson**; beaded necklace, **Koket at Rajo!**; pearl earrings and gold cocktail rings,*
all **Ann Ong**

Give your corporate ensemble a head-to-toe color evaluation to make a good impression.

Borrowed from the boys

**On Danica**: Embroidered white suit with drop-crotch pants, **Randy Ortiz**; statement mother-of-pearl and
pearl necklace, earrings, and ring, all **Ann Ong**; **On Eddi**: Three-piece black suit, **Joey Samson**

A pantsuit is not just smart and sleek, but a practical and equally sensual fashion option you can take from desk to drinks.

Modern retrospect

*Black cropped blazer and paperbag trousers, both **Ivarluski Aseron**; pearl earrings, **Ann Ong**; necklace*
*with beaded oversized pendant, **Koket at Rajo**!*

Power suits, now free of the clichéd ’80s silhouettes, are best matched with a daring state of mind.

Like a boss

*Graphic print coat and culottes, both **Randy Ortiz**; gold chain necklace with stone pendant, **Ann Ong**;*
*shoes, model’s own*

The new boardroom fashion is far from dull. Mix and match trends, prints, cuts, and more fluid lines for a fresh and current take on corporate chic.

Power of two

**On Danica**: Floral jacquard trench coat, bustier, and pleated maxi skirt, all **Rajo Laurel**; leather and gold
*necklace, **Ann Ong**; leather top-handle bag, **Fino Leatherware**; On Eddi: Black coat with blue stripe,*
*tuxedo shirt, and black trousers, all **Randy Ortiz**; shoes, stylist’s own*

Lush brocades and metallic hues are not for timid wallflowers. Multifunctional trench coats juxtaposed with bold details bring your office style to the top.

Dressed for success

**On Danica**: Brocade peplum blazer and trousers, both **Randy Ortiz**; silver floral choker and silver cuff, both **Ann Ong**; shoes, model’s own; **On Eddi**: Polka-dot suit and white tuxedo shirt, both Randy Ortiz; shoes, stylist’s own

Suits are good investments, which you can maximize and combine with different sartorial options while keeping a polished approach. Play with prints and cuts to add interest.

Cutting edge

**On Danica**: Black tuxedo jacket and shorts, both **Joey Samson**; necklace, **Koket at Rajo!**; round gray leather bag, **Fino Leatherware**; **On Eddi**: Black, backless blazer and trousers, both **Joey Samson**

Higher hemlines and cut-out details mix masculine and feminine—modern and androgynous tailoring for the fashion-forward corporate warrior.

Greater heights

Two-piece silk suit with belt, **JC Buendia**; layered pearl necklace and ring, both **Ann Ong**; pumps, model’s own

This is not your average suit. Take your style to a whole new level with unconventional details, like an exaggerated collar and slick hair.
