Shiv Roy Is The Fall Style Mood

Your fall style icon is here.

If you are a fan of good television, you're probably watching Succession. If you aren't, well, log into your friend's HBO GO and correct that oversight, girl! I'm not alone in saying that Succession is one of the best things on television right now. It may market itself as a Shakespearian tragedy about a family-run media empire—and at times, it is gut-wrenchingly devastating—but it's also a dark comedy about a bunch of ill equipped, out-of-touch rich kids stepping all over one another to win the unattainable affection of their father. 

The characters may be total monsters (if you're caught up, just the mere mention of "Boar on the Floor" will make you shudder) and even the (more) sympathetic characters like Shiv and Greg have the capacity for sinister behavior, but it's fun to laugh at their incompetence. 

But even if you haven't caught up on the HBO show yet, we can all appreciate the style icon that is Siobhan Roy. The only daughter of Murdoch-esque media mogul Logan Roy, Shiv is fierce and independent. She's got a clear opinion on the world and a distinct point of view that sets her apart from her brothers, and she means business, as her sleek bob haircut that she debuted in season two clearly indicates.

Even though the Roy Media Empire is relatively "new money" in the grand scheme of things, Shiv carries herself with the unassuming chicness of a well-pedigreed woman. Her color palette is neutral and muted, with the occasional jewel tone slipping through, focusing instead on luxurious materials like cashmere and silk. In other words, Shiv wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything with a visible designer label. So gauche.

Since the second season of Succession started airing a few weeks ago, I've found myself admiring Shiv's style. With her penchant for plaid wide leg pants, fitted turtlenecks, and cozy fair isle knits, Shiv is essentially a walking Pinterest board for autumnal style. So today, I'm breaking down the MVPs of Siobhan's wardrobe so you can get her look this season!

Whether you're planning on selling out your family members to rise up in the ranks of your father's business, gearing up to tell your partner you don't think monogamy is the right move for you (immediately post-nuptials, of course), or just need a seasonal wardrobe refresher before jetting off to the Argestes conference, here are the fundamental pieces of Shiv Roy's style:

Turtlenecks For Days




Wide Leg Pants



Silk Blouses



Elegant Dresses



Fair Isle Knits




Are you watching Succession? And more importantly, are you dressing like Shiv this fall?
