If you ever need a perfect example—actually,make that three perfect examples—of power dressing for the office, all you have to do is watch an episode of The Good Wife. (Also, because the show is just SO GOOD this season.) And for the flawless supporting players, in the form of costumes, we need to thank designer Dan Lawson for creating Alicia Florrick’s (Juliana Margulies) classic-meets-modern courtroom (and campaign trail!) style, Diane Lockhart’s (Christine Baranski) edgier “Madison Avenue” flair, and Kalinda Sharma’s (Archie Panjabi) badass, leather-infused wardrobe.

The veteran costume designer is actually bringing his keen eye for power dressing to the masses with a collaboration with London-based number 35 on a capsule collection of elegant, but stylish clothing for the professional woman (Alicia wore some of the looks in season four). He’s also branched out to chic accessories with New York-based jewelry line PONO by Joan Goodman with a six nature-inspired pieces. But I want to go directly to the source to find out what the secret to successful power dressing is—you know, in case we need to save our dreamboat colleague from prison, run for political office, or just make an impression with the boss at the next team meeting.
