All eyes are on the Trump family as President Donald Trump begins his first days in the White House. But another member of the family has captured the public’s attention, and that’s no other than the new POTUS’ daughter, Ivanka Trump.

Ivanka has been much admired even before she started campaigning for her father. The mother-of-three first burst onto the scene as a teen model, walking the runways for Versace and Thierry Mugler back in the late 90’s.

She joined the family business in 2005 and has her own line of clothes, handbags, and shoes which are available in major department stores across the country. With her innate fashion sense and her classic style, it’s no surprise that Ivanka is a style inspiration for many working women in the U.S.

So how does one crib Ivanka Trump’s style for the office? Here are a few style lessons we can all learn from the First Daughter.

Don’t be afraid of color

Though Ivanka is a true New Yorker at heart, the 35-year-old does not shy away from color. In addition to gorgeous dresses and separates in inky black, she has also been spotted in pale colors such as blush pink and pale lavender.

Embrace your femininity

Ivanka favors dresses in floral prints, often opting for a fit-and-flare style. She has also been seen wearing solid colored tops paired with floral-printed skirts.

Don’t underestimate the impact of a good coat

Ivanka Trump knows that a good coat can enhance any look. She often wears a camel-colored trench coats, as well as coats in white and charcoal gray.

Pick a versatile outfit for the day

Speaking with InStyle, Ivanka said that she likes versatile outfits because she often has no time to change for her various tasks for the day.

“I’ll get dressed, then be on the floor with my kids in the morning or dropping them off at school and carrying their book bags, and that’s the same outfit I’m wearing to board meetings,” she said.

Use statement accessories to liven up your work wardrobe

According to Ivanka, this is the easiest way to update your work clothes.
