5 Genius Styling Tricks I Learned From Shiv Roy on Succession

I can’t stop thinking about Succession—or chatting with pretty much anyone who will listen to all of the reasons why the HBO series has me utterly captivated. Based around the Roy family and their global media conglomerate, Waystar Royco, the show centers on the power struggles that ensue as patriarch Logan Roy decides who will take over the empire once he steps down. So yes, there is plenty of drama and it’s just as easy to be repulsed and enamored by the morally deficient characters. And fair warning—there are some spoilers ahead.

In season 2, Shiv Roy—the only daughter of Logan Roy—really comes into focus. Not only is she a serious contender to take over the family empire, but she also arrives with a brand new look, which is a big departure from the previous season. She debuted one of the most talked-about haircuts to go viral on the internet this year—chopping her long waves to make a strong case for the lob—and her fashion followed suit. Gone were her baggy sweaters and baseball hats. Replacing them, an entirely new wardrobe of sharp suiting and pieces that are all tailored to perfection.

Much of this change goes hand-in-hand with Shiv’s new attitude about possibly entering the family business. No longer is she trying to escape the shadow of her famous family by joining the world of politics; now, she’s ready to take the helm of the family business so wants to be taken seriously and earn a seat at the table. Her wardrobe really communicates that and I found it fascinating how she was able to so swiftly slign her ambitions with her sartorial choices. Ahead, read about the key styling tricks I learned from Shiv Roy on Succession.

If there's one uniform that instantly communicates you mean business, it's a sharply tailored suit. Shiv Roy wears suiting on repeat and truly proves the power of a great suit.
Whether you're wearing a suit (as Shiv is here) or any other look, sticking with one color family like the greys here is a surefire way to have an outfit read as polished.
Sure, like Shiv, you might be all business, but if you still want to expose some skin, wearing something backless in the form of a sweater or a dress is a great way to do it. 
During season 2 of Succession, Shiv wore turtlenecks more than practically any other item. Replacing her V-neck silhouettes of the previous season, they are the easy fall staples we can all add into our closets.
The absolute biggest lesson of Shiv's wardrobe transformation in season 2? Find a really good tailor and make sure that your clothes fit perfectly. This is far and away the most important thing that radically transformed her wardrobe.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
