15 luxury wardrobe pieces to channel the style of Shiv Roy

From Fran Fine’s colorful Moschino dresses to Carrie Bradshaw’s infamous nameplate necklace and Olivia’s Pope’s creamy statement coats, female fictional characters have been inspiring our wardrobes for decades.

And with the recent return of season three of Succession on HBO, we are reminded of yet another sharp dressed woman whose style we’re looking to emulate – no other than Siobhan “Shiv” Roy’s.

During the first two seasons, Logan Roy’s daughter Shiv has gone from a boho styled progressive to blunt bobbed power player, abandoning her political career to pursue the Waystar Royco throne. Her stealth luxury trousers, cashmere turtlenecks, tailored blazers, subtle accessories and cunning cutaways have all become part of her signature armor – and are only slightly less compelling than the show’s dramatic plotline.

While we don’t condone her backstabbing ways, we do love Shiv’s ultra luxe tailoring and commitment to a sharp shoulder. Her looks are versatile and many are perfect for heading back to the office. Plus it’s full of classic items that will have staying power in your wardrobe for years to come.

Ahead, we’ve identified five key pieces you need in your closet to start dressing like Shiv Roy, just in time for season three.
