10 Work-Ready, Olivia Pope-Approved Looks from the “Scandal” Clothing Line
There’s no reason to hunt for a fall-ready work wardrobe — that’s been handled by the gladiators at The Limited, who teamed up with the TV show Scandal for a fashion collaboration available in stores and online starting September 23. And yes, for those of you counting down the days until you find out Where on earth is Olivia Pope, the collection drops just two days before the show’s season four premiere.
While that date is one loooong week away, today The Limited has released the lookbook full of the 42 Olivia Pope-approved pieces, which both Kerry Washington and Scandal costume designer, Lyn Paolo had a hand in shaping. Priced from $49 to $248, the collection is everything a gladiator-in-training could ask for, including sleek cream trousers, chic necktie blouses and, of course, power coats for days — from checked capes to pastel wrap coats to gray belted jackets (and the elbow-length gloves to match).
There’s no doubt the show-inspired line will be an absolute hero to your 9-to-5 look — get a first glimpse at the 10 must-have outfits that channel Liv’s iconic confident style.
1. New Neutrals: Liv’s preferred neutrals are decidedly more feminine, think: blush pinks, dusty blues and rich grays that will add just the right amount of punch to your power suit.
2. Suit Alternatives: Ditch the blazer — you can still look like a #GirlBoss in these boardroom-ready jackets. Details like a button neck and peplum high pleat make us *actually* want to get dressed for work.
3. Wear (the) White (Hat): Be the go-to good girl in head-to-toe white, Olivia’s signature hue. A long metallic necklace will dress up the look just fine, though there are always those gloves…
4. Sophisticated Separates: Liv is known for living in not-so-basic basics, and now it’s your turn to take a spin in next-level separates like chic blouses and flared-to-perfection trousers.
5. Statement Outerwear: Those coats! They’ll add instant polish to any outfit when you’re dashing out the door to save the day. Toss it on, wrap it, work it.
