Claire cuts a masculine style with a feminine finesse. Her button down look, with tailored oxford-shirts or occasional silk blouse, creates an effortless work wear cool. Coupled with knee-length pencil or midi length skirts, she makes a sharp and polished point at the office.

The outerwear with clean lines and modern coats additionally intensifies her strong personality and sturdy silhouette.

Monochromatic and a muted colour palette lends a subtle appeal to Claire’s ice-cool elegance. Greys, light blues, cream and black form a scandi-chic, crisp and clean modernity. Her lines are every bit as smooth as the curbes of the Oval Office.

ACCESSORIES & HAIR

Barely visible yet carefully chosen to flaunt her bold composure. You hardly notice the neckline defining pearls or diamond stud earrings. However, she does make a clear style statement wearing timeless Rayban frames and classic Louboutin courts. To finish off, the Claire Underwood look wouldn’t be complete without her razor sharp, angled peroxide crop.

The accessories refine this uber cool look.

In all, Claire has got it. Simplicity and elegance are indisputably powerful, exemplifying confidence in style and confidence in character. Fierce, captivating and meticulous. Claire’s power dress code retains the ultimate professional style. A wardrobe crush that shouts strength in a room filled with power.
