This Season of Scandal Is Making Work Suits Look So Good

Updated on Nov 20, 2015 at 7:00 PM

The characters on Scandal can pretty much handle anything — steamy affairs, parental issues, fashion faux pas, etc. So it's only natural that, as style-lovers, we look to them for inspiration on something near and dear to our heart: easy, polished outfits.

This crew's got the professional look down pat, even making pantsuits look super chic, while Olivia Pope's cozy coats are making us crave colder weather. Read on to see all the styles that keep us tuning in every Thursday night and make sure tomorrow's outfit dilemma is handled before it happens.

Quinn's coat is just what we've been looking for this holiday season.

Olivia's looking relaxed in this white robe.

This face and polished look says it all: you don't mess with OP.

We hope the dry cleaner can get that (blood?) stain out!

'Tis the season for statement shoulders.

A lacy look that's both breathtaking and modest.

Abby's getting fancy and festive!

This hallway might as well be a runway: this all-black look is fierce!

Quinn's getting down to business in a gray sweater while the boys rock button-downs.

Abby's making a case for a well-tailored skirt suit. She makes it look so chic!

Olivia, ready for business in a cream blazer.

Quinn makes two-toned cardigans look too cool.

No one rocks a tailored look as well as this girlboss.

Well, someone's looking fancy! Spicing up the workwear with some chevron.

When the suits come out, you know things are serious.

Olivia nailed a posh all-white look.

We'll have to remember these outfits the next time we have jury duty.

Looking for the time, Ms. Pope? Because our eyes were immediately drawn to that silver link watch.

Mellie in jeans?! We've never seen that before!

This girl's got a closet full of leather jackets! Let us borrow one, please!

Quinn definitely digs an all-black ensemble.

This is one way a graphic can work at the office.

We imagine him saying, "Tell me where you got this knit!"

Such a cozy Fall look!

"Cheers, we look good."

There's something so classic about a high-neck style!

Inspiring us to stop food shopping in sweats.

Now this is how to nail a power look.

Casual college Olivia.

We're seriously into that white cardigan, Olivia.

Even when she's off-duty, Olivia's hang-at-home look is on-point.

What did we say about the all-black?!

Just imagine snuggling up with some wine while wearing this sweater.

Olivia's showing off her arms in this layered tank look.

That's quite the graphic tee you've got there, Quinn!

That olive color looks amazing when paired with Abby's skin tone and hair color.

Amal Clooney, is that you?

Fitz is looking sharp in a striped tie and suit combo.

Who can resist a man in a leather jacket?

Even with this small peek at their gowns, we know Abby and Olivia are looking super chic at an important event.

Cocktail-length gloves are also a "do" for occasions like these.

The sash and crown have us thinking this is a royal.

Mellie's back with the statement-making power suits.

OK, yes. We're loving everything about this white top.

Stripes and pearls? A very elevated and ladylike combination.
