Looks like you'll both be wearing the pants this season. Designers from Ralph Lauren and Diane von Furstenberg to BCBG and Guess are showcasing masculine tailoring in their fall and winter lines, a practical look for cooler months. That doesn't mean you won't be looking sexy though. With form-fitted jackets and butt-flattering trousers, you'll be feeling corporate beautiful. The look isn't restricted to the office either -- when the clock hits 5:00, smudge on some smoky eye liner, slide your manicured tootsies into some stilettos, and hit the bar for post-work cocktails.
My personal fav? Ralph Lauren's grey Adrianne Rugby Dress. So comfy, so sexy, it'll have all men in your path wanting to score!
