Whether you spend your days slaying high-powered meetings or handling business from a coffee shop (Shout out to all my freelancers out there. I see you. Hell, I am you.), sometimes you just want to wear a badass outfit. Workwear can sometimes get a little, for lack of a better word, blah, but there are plus-size power suits out there waiting to take your workweek from “I’m just here working on my resume” to “I’m the boss. Let me see your resume.” (Yeah, I know. That was a little weird. Just roll with it.)
Here’s how I define a power suit: It’s a suit (obvs) that makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. It’s a suit that makes you feel powerful (also obvs). It’s a suit that gives you the confidence to lead the charge and do your best every damn day. Yeah, it can sound a little cheesy, but slipping on a chic power suit—no matter where you work or what you do—can instill in you just a drop of something extra. It could be power, confidence or just feeling good about yourself. Whatever it is, it’s worth trying every now and then.
In support of feeling like a badass at work, I found myriad plus-size power suits that don’t skimp on style. From bold colors to fun patterns—and, yes, a few classic pieces thrown in—there’s a little something for any workplace. So boss up, darlin’ (I’m from the south, so I can say that.) and try a power suit the next time you want a little boost of confidence at work.
Here at Unruly, we’re committed to featuring plus-size pieces we genuinely love and want to share with you. We’re connected to an affiliate revenue program, which means we might make a small commission when you buy products through our shopping guides.
