Like the rest of the world, I am watching Suits right now. (Thank you, Netflix.) This isn't my first time watching the legal drama, and I must admit I'm even more hooked the second time around. Aside from noticing the heavy use of the word "goddamn," there's one thing that has really stuck with me during my rewatch—the clothes. I was in college going through my grunge phase when the show was on the air, so the pointed-toe heels and pencil skirts weren't exactly something that sartorially spoke to me. I mostly just cared for whichever case Harvey Specter was going to close next. But now that I work a 9-to-5 and corporate dressing has been all over the recent runways, Rachel Zane's style has caught my attention. I even wore an outfit inspired by her to work recently and have never felt so put-together. I was writing articles and taking meetings, not going to court, but nonetheless, I felt "goddamn" stylish.
Since it's highly unlikely we'll get Meghan Markle gracing our screens as a lawyer again, I took it upon myself to imagine what items she'd wear in 2023. From crisp poplin shirts to sleek leather bags, you'll find something chic enough for your office wardrobe.
An office wardrobe isn't complete without a poplin shirt like this one.
While the show always mentioned Zane's taste for fine dining, I like to think she had a taste for luxurious handbags, too. Imagine if Mike Ross gave this to her as a gift for getting into law school? She would've married him on the spot.
Miu Miu may have showcased buttoned cardigans on the runway this year, but Rachel Zane deemed them a wardrobe classic years prior.
Aren't these just the prettiest pumps you've ever seen?
Considering Suits was set in New York and filmed in Toronto, a chic coat like this is necessary for the winter months.
Whether you throw it over your shoulders over a shift dress or tuck it into a fitted skirt, Zane would approve.
I've always found leather pants to be a bit uncomfortable, but leather skirts? They've always been a 10/10.
This top tucked into the skirt above? Talk about a luxe-looking ensemble.
With the way Tory Burch's recent collections have been looking, I bet that both Rachel Zane and Jessica Pearson would be VIP customers today. Designed by a powerful woman to be worn by powerful women.
The cap sleeves on this dress are just perfect.
There are a lot of trench coats on the market, but I've yet to see one that looks this good at that price.
There's no such thing as too many tailored skirts in the Suits universe.
On her more casual days, Zane would definitely be spotted in a sweater like this paired with skinny jeans and flats.
Whether you're actually filling this bag with files and a laptop or you simply just want to look rich, this should be high on your shopping list.
Blazers were more of a Pearson style staple, but I just had to include this incredible tailored blazer.
The draping on this top is divine.
At under $100, these heels could easily pass as designer.
Another gorgeous Pearson-inspired find I just had to include.
Meet the ultimate work bag.
J.Crew does classic style best, and this cardigan is one that'll never go out of fashion.
This whole look is exactly what I'd want to see in the costume department if the show were rebooting.
A luxury that would be both Rachel Zane and Meghan Markle approved.
This is the dreamiest dress available to buy on Zara right now.
If your office dress code allows, a tank like this would look perfect with any of the skirts in this roundup.
Poplin shirts are a classic, but it's nice to change things up every now and then with a statement blouse like this.
While this top looks great with a denim skirt, it'd look even better with a tailored black skirt.
And after you add a tailored skirt, this cuff can act as the accessory to top off the whole look.
Easy, comfortable, and on sale!
