From Hillary Clinton’s famous pantsuits to Jess Lee’s simple solids, every powerful woman has a power “uniform” to go with her persona.

New York Magazine’s website, The Cut, spent a week exploring the concept of “uniforms,” or really, how to get your act together when it comes to personal style. One piece in particular caught AM Tonight’s eye: “Powerful Women and Their ‘Uniforms’: What I’ve Learned.”

Fusion’s Alicia Menendez sat with The Cut’s Editorial Director Stella Bugbee and Elite Daily’s political writer, John Haltiwanger (who also knows a thing or two about uniforms), to break down the science behind the uniform and discuss what we can glean from powerful women’s style successes and failures.
