Hillary Clinton may have not won the US presidential election today, but the Democratic candidate’s pantsuits have become a fashion icon of feminism in America. Even though you might not opt for the red, white and blue numbers she wore in debates with Republican opponent Donald Trump, we can take some inspiration to look sharp in the work place (and out of it) this winter.

Six pantsuit inspirations:

1) You can’t go wrong in classic Chanel tweed pantsuit; it’s all about the big lapels, bold check and cropped jacket.

2) A deep indigo slim-fit pantsuit by Italian label Trussardi – the high waist, boot-cut style is classic and the double breasted jacket gives this look a more formal edge.

3) This great coat and pantsuit outfit by Billy Reid debuted in February on the New York catwalks and has bags of old world elegance and masculine cool. The one button, earthy colours are a winner and the tie/scarf loosely fastened at the neck is a great detail.
