These pants could single-handedly orchestrate a hostile company takeover

Shiv’s pants are more thoughtful, capable, and sexually well-adjusted than any of Logan Roy’s children. Their high waists, wide legs, and perfect tailoring demand attention and respect and intentionally so; according to the show’s head costume designer, Michelle Matland, the look is meant to signify her desire “to be seen as an equal in the board room.” Indeed, these are pants that could single-handedly orchestrate a hostile company takeover or convince you of the merits of a media monopoly.
In the second season, however, with the possibility of taking over the company being dangled in front of her by her father like an emotionally toxic carrot, Shiv’s look becomes more masculine, more timeless — “It’s a much more 1930s, the Katherine Hepburn–Greta Garbo–type thing.” Whereas on season one Shiv wore a lot of Theory, this season her wardrobe consists of Hobbs, Armani, Gabriella Hearst, and some Ralph Lauren.
