Best Olivia pope outfits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Pope shows us that you don’t need tons of color in your wardrobe to make a statement. She is the queen of gray, beige, black, and white. But as drab as most of the clothes in her wardrobe have been, I think the (lack of) color scheme serves her well. Her powerful personality<\/a> makes the statement, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia pope style for less<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ready to bring some Olivia Pope flair into your own wardrobe? Here’s how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coat isn’t an afterthought<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is an art to making your coat part of your outfit and not just the thing you throw on as you’re heading out the door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Beige<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Pope loves a trenchcoat. Look for clean lines, lining (to keep you warm), and a belt if you’re worried about it being shapeless. A neutral tone is super versatile, but white or baby blue can also add a huge pop to your winter and spring outfits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Silver<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Go big on tweed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Pope wears a lot of tweed. And granted, she works in an office, but that doesn’t mean you can’t don the look outside of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tweed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A tweed jacket looks polished over a fitted trouser or even a nice pair of jeans. Or, for a breezier look, try a lighweight, A-line skirt<\/a>. Wear the combo on an evening out or to Sunday brunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tweed skirt is another favorite. You can dress this up with a blazer, or down with a silky t-shirt. Find this flashy gold skirt on sale at Century 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose sexy fabrics <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Green<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Pope does a fantastic job of choosing soft and luscious fabrics to give her that alluring vibe. Mimic that simmering sex appeal by choosing tops and dresses made of touchable textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cowl<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Pope has taught us this. If the top has some softness to it — courtesy of, say, a subtle cowl neckline — it’s a perfect match for an otherwise “all business” outfit. Wear this feminine top to balance your masculine-inspired power suit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dress up like a goddess <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Mint<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For more formal occasions, opt for a long maxi with draping or soft gathers. You’ll look and feel like a Greek goddess. Don’t forget the strappy sandals to match! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
