6) Power Suits – Dynasty

Dynasty brought power dressing to the forefront with its bold and extravagant suits. Broad shoulders and sharp tailoring became symbols of 80s opulence and assertiveness. The show premiered in 1981 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Joan Collins played Alexis Carrington, the centerpiece of the show’s dramatic fashion. Her power suits showed confidence and luxury, setting a new standard for women’s office wear. The trend was considered to be a statement of empowerment. If it came back today, it would seamlessly blend into modern workwear, offering a sophisticated yet commanding style for women.
