For day five, I will circle back to where we started and return to a forum where power dynamics are constantly in play - the workplace. The changing world of work was the trigger for numerous changes in fashion, and the reason for the “power dressing” phenomenon. Today’s power exploration is: Girl boss - professional looks to break the boardroom.

Some of our fearless scarfies have generously shared pictures of their shoulder pads and broad-shouldered blouses, sharp tailored blazers and fierce colours and patterns. These looks clearly show a defined and recognizable style, constructed with care to show maximum confidence. Power dressing is all about grabbing attention and showing the world you mean business. Because I couldn’t resist, here are some examples of what power looked like in 80s fashions:

(I actually had a pink suit a lot like this one, though mine was sadly not Dior!)

While the 80’s was truly the power-dressing heyday - with power looks utilizing colour and pattern to further grab attention - there have been professional power looks in each generation. The Chanel suit was a revolution in women’s fashion and has inspired look-alikes and tributes to this day, each of which manage to convey the same authority and elegance that made the original design so endeared. Whether it was the eschewing of corsets, the raising of hemlines, or the adoption of pants/trousers, strides in fashion have accompanied forward leaps for female autonomy and authority. Interestingly, the power suit look made a return to the runway in Fall 2024, so perhaps that’s an acknowledgment of the need to reassert ourselves at this time in history.

Many of these looks were deliberately androgynous, to de-emphasise femininity and encourage others to focus on what we contribute, rather than our gender. To express ourselves, we turned to smaller symbols, such as scarves or jewellery. A single strand of pearls, or a casually draped silk scarf, was a way to hold to our womanhood in a world dominated by men. It is a classic look and remains a signifier of refinement and confidence today.

A well-tailored blazer commands attention in a multitude of styles, and no wardrobe is complete without one. While my days of being “suited and booted” every day are thankfully behind me (work continues, but the dress codes have changed), I have a range of blazers in different colours and fabrics, which make for easy and versatile professional separates. They are a perfect pairing with scarves for a professional power look. It’s also a great way to elevate a casual look, and pairing a blazer with jeans, a plain tee and silk scarf is one of my go-to looks when I want to be comfortable but still look polished.

Style tip: blazers come in many styles and fabrics. Choose a blazer in a classic colour and modern fabric - with good stretch - for a comfortable wardrobe staple that will take you from brunch to the boardroom, as comfortably as a cardigan but with infinitely more impact.

What’s your favourite blazer/scarf pairing when you want to make an impact?

I think I remember some of these images although I never wore the broad shoulders. The Escada look is epic. Beautiful blazer and scarf looks.

Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom : Perfume Review - Bois de Jasmin

Sometimes you don’t need a grand opera perfume to satisfy your cravings. A simple composition will do. Such is my latest discovery, Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom. It makes me think fondly of the early days of the house when Jo Malone offered simple, unaffected but clever compositions like Lime...

@Lellabelle - My blazer wearing days are mostly in the past, but this picture with Le Sacre des Saisons is a look that I would have worn a lot. It ticks so many of my boxes. Serious colors, but an incredibly beautiful and interesting scarf.

I keep thinking there will be a large animal day coming up. So, that I can wear my Acinonyx Jubatus. Dallet's magnificent cheetah oozes power.

This has been a great week of power looks. Loving it.

Two lovely scarves, Redbird, and the jacket reminds me a bit of Brandebourgs. If you have one you could give it a try.

I am sorry I cant paticipate more this week with its great theme and thoughtful posts by @Lellabelle
Due to easter national holiday I am in the cabin with no great scarf game going on - just listening to birds and watching the tulips (the few spared by the deer).
Will try and be a bit more powerful when I get back to civilization.

Scarf , just worn for warmth, with comfy old fleece sweater

The beach last night

Wish you a calm Friday

The mythical phoenix is known for its ability to regenerate or be reborn from its own ashes, often symbolizing renewal, immortality, and resurrection.

Renewal, resurgence, rejuvenation, revitalization.
Just what we need!

I’ve saved this quote from @bobkat1991 - because I felt it was so amazing.

A masterful design, this one! Beautifully styled.

I am so far behind that replying to everyone will be impossible.

But I am loving the power scarfs, the 80’s suits and glasses ( I actually have a new pair that are almost identical to @Cookiefiend ’s). And especially the power that resonates from all of you, strong women 👍💪

So thank you @Lellabelle, I am really enjoying this week and your very interesting thoughts about power scarfs.

I love the idea of a power scarf to empower oneself. Although it is softened by the flowery design, my Tulipomanie lifts me up, in what I consider a power colour for me.

Have a nice day everyone!

Yasss, this is the definition of a power color! Radiant on you.

Hello,
Not feeling well today. First my husband caught the flu and now it's my turn. 😬 And to add insult to injury, Merlin, the cat, bit me yesterday when being overly excited to have his food. Oh well, I did the Big Shopping this morning so we won't die of hunger during the long weekend.😐 Today with a scarf I like but don't love, Cuirs du Désert. Combined with suede and one of my favourite gemstones which is no stone at all but fossil resin, amber. I found the necklace many years ago in an art gallery in Gdansk, Poland. I wanted it immediately because the amber was manufactured in a quite modern way.View attachment 6159385View attachment 6159387

Very pretty, sorry to hear this is not a fave! Genius pairing with the camel jacket!

I had to pull this photo from the archives for @Lellabelle's subtheme du jour. Because blazer, because a powerful Femme, because the black, white, and grey convey balance, composure, and confidence to my eyes

Elegantly chic and serene. I struggle with scarves when I wear a blazer - I need to try the closed-blazer approach.

One more day till Friday - I’m hanging on my the tips of my fingers!

Today, I thought of the power of words.
They can build you/us up, they can tear you/us down.
Love letters, Dear John letters, well wishes, and resignation letters.
Poems, I especially love… even the goofy ones.
My earrings (Jeanine Payer) today even have poetry written on them.

The left reads -
“This close companioned
Inarticulate hour when

And the right reads -
Twofold silence
Was the song of love”
Rossetti
(You can just see the earrings in the picture - but they are small)

Scarves with words are like catnip to me, so what do words need?
Letters!

Tasteful tonal browns! Love the idea of the power of words.

I love the first look !!! So cool with the suede jacket !

 

[Karenska]

Croisette, Regal looking! I love it.
Thanks for the ELeK photos I requested. I got my pink cashmere! 🙌 Your lighting was better and it helped me decide.


I love that pink one on you and your special tie😍.

I was absent and overwhelmed w ‘life stuff’ 😂for a long time but I missed all of you here, lovely people.
Just reading these last few pages to catch up somehow!

So sorry I missed the whole week, I would have loved this!! I’ve collected Dallet, Shirley, Oliver and Animapolis scarves like there’s no tomorrow 😂😂 and Annie used to be my favorite H scarf designer because her scarf was the first one I bought at the boutique. Oh well! Another time.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection with us.
Hope you feel better!

Katharina Luis’s, I agree w LKBNOLA, a beautiful scarf but I love your new haircut!!! 🙌🌷

CedarWax, your teacher was right 😂🥰, what a cute story. Twins on this one and it’s so pretty on you!

These are so pretty, Karenska
Hope all is well 🌸🌸

Thank you, dear @Helena7, I hope you are well, too. I’m fine, just unbelievably busy and there isn’t alot of time for scarfplay.
