Closely associated with the rise of women in the workforce, the 1980s were peak corporate culture; power suits were a symbol of professionalism and your outfit was an important tool for expressing empowerment, challenging the status quo and breaking through those glass ceilings.

Fast forward to the present day and the idea of power dressing has moved with the times, it's relaxed and fluid with the essence of labels such as The Row and Jil Sander commanding attention in a minimal, luxurious way. YSL is forever sleek and polished meanwhile the likes of Calvin Klein and Armani highlight timelessness in elegant sharp tailoring.

Hairstyles reflect these sentiments; from slicked-back styles gathering cool off-duty texture throughout the day, a centre part pulled back into a tidy bun willing to take on any amount of stress without putting a hair out of place, or an emphasis on beautiful natural hair for when you just want to feel like yourself.

The best accessory to level up a busy day? Your hair. A great hair day can be the extra boost of confidence you didn't know you needed. These are our go-to finishing touches to complete a polished look.
