Costumes through our favorite Netflix series.

Lawyers, politicians, press officers... could it be that women's empowerment is reaching the small screen too? Definitely, yes.

At La Condesa, we love series where women play a leading role due to their professional capabilities and aptitudes. That's why we admire their style, their way of speaking, and their excellent handling of social relationships.

All these Netflix series tell us the lives of women capable of having a successful professional life and combining it with a full personal and family life, with their ups and downs, just like all of us. The style guide for these women is based on two-piece suits with a skirt or trousers, depending on the occasion. The tailored suit has been a "must-have" ever since it moved from the male wardrobe to that of women worldwide. Two garments that, when combined, enhance the female figure and shout to the world the confident, powerful, and professional woman you are.

Olivia Pope, played by Kerry Washington in the series Scandal, is a lawyer for the President of the United States himself, later becoming the White House Press Secretary. We really like her style, especially because she is a big fan of the color gray, a color that is as sober as it is versatile.

Rachel, Donna, and Jessica Pearson are the charismatic protagonists of Suits, set in a law firm in the Big Apple. They embody independent women with dreams and goals that they pursue alongside their male colleagues. All three have an elegant and sophisticated style, though each within her own aesthetic. While Jessica, the firm's managing partner, opts for refined skirt suits; Rachel prefers to pair skirts with solid-colored shirts, a style very similar to that which governs the wardrobe of the actress behind her, Meghan Markle, current Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry.

The story of Alicia Florrick from The Good Wife is an example of overcoming adversity, a family mother who must face her husband's sins. For this, she decides to begin her professional life as a lawyer. Florrick's style remains that of a businesswoman but steps outside the neutral color palette to take a risk with the color red, a shade that symbolizes strength and passion.

All these styles are available on our website.
