What Are Your Favorite TV Shows for Workwear Inspiration?
Recently, readers were mentioning shows they loved for workwear inspiration — and I thought we'd expand it into a post! What are your favorite TV shows for workwear inspiration — either current shows that are still in the midst of their runs, cancelled shows, or shows that have finished already? (Any great movies?) Which shows get it right?
(Any shows — fiction or reality — that are noteworthy for their comical take on workwear? Selling Sunset immediately comes to mind…)
(Psst: Note that at least two other sites do almost-real-time screenshots with links to character's clothes: Worn on TV and Shop Your TV.)
Some of my latest favorite tv shows for workwear inspiration:
- Succession: Shiv, also some of Gerri's outfits!
- Severance: We're still in the middle of the first season — it is SUCH a weird show and a delightful satire/horror about the workplace, whole-heartedly recommend. Admittedly Helly doesn't have a TON of outfit changes, but she always does look polished, at least up to the halfway point in the season.
- She-Hulk: Haven't watched yet but I've been hearing good things both about plot and wardrobe… and ditto for The Morning Show!
Some of my older favorites (finished shows):
- Veep (see how to dress like Selina Meyer from Veep)
- House of Cards (see how to get Claire Underwood's style)
- Better off Ted: Portia de Rossi's character's clothes are still swoon worthy; we also did a 360 review on Linda Zwordling; here's our interview with Better Off Ted‘s stylist.
- Gilmore Girls (Lorelai)
- The Mindy Project: Mindy's use of color was fabulous.
Shows I still haven't watched but were reader favorites:
- The Good Wife (although I've watched a few seasons of the newer one, The Good Fight)
- Suits
- Madame Secretary
How about you, readers — what are your favorite TV shows for workwear inspiration? Which shows get it right 1000%, and which ones are right in theory but for how tight/short everything is? (Any shows that are totally wrong?)
Has anyone seen any guidance re: which bivalent booster is recommended? (This is for me — am eligible for either.) I understand any booster in the arm is preferable to analysis paralysis and/or dithering. Thanks!
The CDC has never officially endorsed Moderna over Pfizer or vice versa. You’re not going to find any official guidance on this.
I don’t think there’s any data on this. With the initial boosters I think there was some indication that a a different one from your initial two might be ever so slightly better, but at this point, there’s really no reason to think that it should matter much either way. Whatever’s most convenient for you should win out.
The top left photo in the collage that shows on the main page is really weird. She looks like she’s having a nervous breakdown. Not exactly what I would take as fashion inspiration.
It’s from the Apple+ show Severance. It’s kind of horror/sci-fi so that’s why the character looks weird. The clothes are mostly workplace appropriate though.
OMG just look at her clothes. Nobody is saying act like any of these characters.
lol, right!? I don’t think most TV characters are people whose behavior you should emulate.
Billions is great
does Gossip Girl count as workwear? ha
I would like all of Wendy Rhoades outfits please.
I was coming here to say Wendy Rhoades. The outfits and the jewelry especially are so pretty
The Good Wife and the Good Fight, mostly for Christine Baranski! Iconic.
I’ve really been enjoying the Partner Track on Netflix and love seeing the clothes.
same
I second the Partner Track – very on trend right now. The accessories, jewelry, bags, suits – all are ON POINT!
I love the cool casual of Jackie (Molly Shannon) on I Love That for You!
How can we forget Olivia Pope’s wardrobe from Scandal?!
Nobody outside the magic of television can wear that much white and keep it so pristine!
I know it’s not exactly current or modern, but I love Kim Wexler’s outfits on Better Call Saul!
My favorite was The Newsroom. I loved the show and the fashion. MacKenzie and Sloane were my favorites characters for fashion inspiration.
I forgot to mention Big Little Lies for major fashion inspiration too. My favorite was Celeste, her casual and work wear, but Madeline is a close second and Renata has the work wardrobe of a very stylish executive.
i know the new netflix movie “luckiest girl alive” is pointedly set in 2015 but i love Mila Kunis’s clothes and jewelry! is it dated? i’m too old to know.
