Let these amazing boss ladies show you how to work work work work work.
Katie Hunt, Chief Branding Officer at dating app Hinge
What I do: As the Chief Brand Officer at Hinge, I ensure that Hinge's brand promise is incorporated into every aspect of the company from marketing and advertising, to product, and customer service, and everything in between. The best part of my job though — the part that gets me jumping out of bed every morning — is finding ways to truly and meaningfully connect people in a digital world.
My style: I've worked with startups my entire career, so everything I have is pretty casual. I like to keep it simple, but to always have one amazing standout piece at my desk, like a great leather jacket, just in case I go straight from the office to a date.

What I do:I'm a New York based makeup artist represented by Susan Price NYC primarily working in Fashion and Editorial.
My style:My approach to professional style is fashionable yet wearable. Because my work requires me to move a lot and to be in a variety of different positions, I tend to gravitate towards clothing that is loose and flowing. And since makeup can sometimes be a messy job, you will mostly see me wearing black. This is why accessorizing is key. I always say that men have the power suit, but women have power accessories. I will rarely be seen without a signature hat, a statement shoe, layers of jewelry, and an "it" bag especially for an important job or meeting.

Anna Balkrishna, Editorial Director at the digital marketing agency Huge
What I do: I work with clients in all kinds of industries, from financial to lifestyle—so it's important that my professional style fit in with my client's corporate culture, whether that's conservative or cool.
My style: I think of my work clothing as my "battle uniform": it expresses that I should be taken seriously as a creative, without distracting from what I'm saying. For me that means neutral colors, crisp buttoned-up shirts, well-tailored pants, and—my secret weapon—a power jumpsuit so nothing rides down or comes untucked! Plus a big, structured bag that can hold my 15-inch laptop.

Maxine Bédat, CEO of sustainable clothing shop Zady
My style: From meetings, to factory visits to evening events I'm on the go all day, so my looks have to be flexible. Easy Zady pieces and pointy flats to keep me feeling put together but comfortable. And for a night out, it's a red lip and I'm good to go.
