Amal Clooney stepped out in NYC while on her way to work. She was dressed the part [1] in a sleek black pantsuit, a classic outfit for power women [2] all over the world. Draping her Burberry trench over her arm, we were able to see the fit of Amal's co-ords. Her trousers took a slight flare [3] and featured hardware at the waist, and her blazer (and perhaps this is not so noticeable if you're not really looking) was cropped.
This one minor detail was subtle, but it transformed Amal's appearance, accentuating her frame instead of overwhelming it. This way, she better showed off her accessories — a smart leather tote and oversize sunglasses — and she finished with simple pumps [4].
