All the Hidden Metaphors Behind Succession's High-Stakes Fashion Choices

One of my favorite Shiv Roy outfits is this gorgeous, plaid suit she wears in season 2, episode eight to take down her new rival-for-CEO, Rhea Jarrell. Roy wears businesswear almost exclusively, but rarely does she appear in a full suit set and, even then, they're only rendered in neutral, monochromatic shades of cream, gray, or black. Since we mainly see her in sharp blazers, pressed trousers, and silk button downs in neutral palettes, this loud and printed suit is screamingly different — a visual indicator she means business.
