The Real Chic Life

If you’re a fan of riveting legal dramas, Hulu’s Reasonable Doubt is a much watch. The show stars Emayatzy Corinealdi as Jax Stewart, a corporate defense attorney who navigates high profile cases alongside her turbulent personal life. Jax is a complex character who is not afraid to employ questionable ethics to achieve her goals. Her confident and competent persona is reflected in her wardrobe- a gorgeous mix of high fashion pieces that evoke corporate glam. While season one featured many feminine, figure-hugging silhouettes, season two presented an impressive collection of chic suits and separates with bold colors, luxe fabrics, and elevated details. Here’s our guide to dressing in glamorous workwear like Jax Stewart:

Jax frequently wears suits by Sergio Hudson that convey authority but still look elegant and fashion forward thanks to details like dramatic shoulders and impeccable tailoring. This exact suit is no longer available, but here is a similar suit from the label. You can also achieve this look for less with the Aritzia Wilfred Manette Blazer, which features padded shoulders and a cinched waist. Opt for tailored, wide-leg trousers for a polished, powerful silhouette.

When she’s not in a chic suit, Jax often wears sleek, body-skimming sheath dresses in solid colors or subtle patterns like this black and white midi dress by David Koma. This dress is almost sold out, but you can create your own colorblock moment in this sweater dress by Staud or this under $100 find by Maggy London.

Although Jax looks stunning in black and white, she certainly does not shy away from color and frequently sports suits and blouses in bold hues like this fuchsia blazer and pants by Stine Goya. Sezane also makes a gorgeous pink jacket and pants.

Jax often wears soft blouses, camisoles, or silk tops under her suits, which add a feminine touch to her powerful look. Her green blouse is from the Victoria Beckham collection. It’s nearly sold out, but her splurge worthy collection features other blouses with elevated details. If you’re a fan of this stunning color, the Sezane Abelia blouse and Daisy Silk Wrap Blouse are great options.

Jax loves an off-the-shoulder or one shoulder look and this one shoulder draped top by Simkhai looks effortlessly glam. The Abercrombie & Fitch Asymmetrical Draped Satin Top and Meshki Everly Top are sophisticated and under $100.

With these elements, you’ll be able to capture Jax Stewart’s confident, professional style. Let us know what you think of the show or Jax’s style in the comments.
