If I had to sum up Amal Clooney's style in one word, it'd be perfection. Her red-carpet looks are always flawless (no gown needed), her street style is impeccable, and her date-night looks are the perfect marriage of sexy and elegant glam. TBH, I'm still obsessing over the outfits that she wore to all of her pre-wedding events back in 2014. And her office style is just as fabulous, whether she's heading to court or running to a business luncheon.
It only makes sense that I'm gathering little inspiration from Amal for a mid-winter wardrobe makeover. I've already discovered a few clever ways to make a black pantsuit feel like new again and how to jazz up my office-ready shift dresses. Click through the gallery ahead for all of the office (and regular life) inspiration you need.

Stock Up on Wrap Dresses
It's one of the most universally figure-flattering silhouettes and it'll never go out of style. We suggest grabbing one in black, one in gray as well as a stand-out red.
Add Bold Prints
Upgrade a classic silhouette like a pencil skirt with a bold print ($180; mytheresa.com). Follow Clooney's lead and stick to a darker color palette that feels on-season.
Find the Perfect Fit
Make sure your pants are the perfect length by investing in trousers made specifically for you. Petites will love New York & Company's fitted work pants ($70; nyandcompany.com). Tall ladies can grab a pair from the ASOS Tall collection ($40; asos.com). And Lane Bryant's a plus-size favorite ($60; lanebryant.com).
Find a Carry-Everything Bag
Amal Clooney's work style always includes a large bag to hold all of her essentials. One of her favorites is from Michael Kors's Bancroft collection — and a few colors are on sale right now ($559; michaelkors.com).
Skip the Button-Down Blouses
If you're bored of button-down blouses, a soft turtleneck ($22; everlane.com) will also work wonders underneath that pinstripe suit.
Re-Think Your Go-To Shoes
Black pumps will match everything in your closet, but we'd argue that a great pair of python-print heels ($150; zappos.com) are just as versatile.
Pay Attention to the Details
Invest in a blazer with unexpected details like velvet fabric ($265; neimanmarcus.com) or even fun fringe.
Reach For Classic Prints
Sure, leopard is a huge trend right now. But it honestly never goes out of style. So add a few dresses ($79; nordstrom.com) like Amal's to your work wardrobe.
Try a Pop of Color
Black and white is a no-brainer. But don't forget to add a hint of color. You can tie a skinny scarf ($35; nordstrom.com) around your neck to easily mimic Clooney's look.
Don't Be Afraid to Match
Forget that old rule that says matchy matchy is a bad thing. A coordinating suit makes getting dressed that much easier. Plus, you can always mix and match tops with a perfect tweed skirt ($225; intermix.com).
