House of Cards season 3 is finally out.
We don't necessarily recommend acting like Frank and Claire Underwood, but we do suggest mimicking their professional wardrobes. They really nail it.
We've put together a style guide based on one of our favorite power couples. Check it out.
Frank Underwood:
Frank Underwood isn't a flashy dresser — it wouldn't be appropriate for his job. But he always looks sharp.

Most professionals are in the same boat: you need to look good, and you don't want inappropriate clothing to detract from your ideas and work ethic.
So you'll want to stick to Frank's power wardrobe basics, which include a neutral suit, a crisp button-down shirt, a blue tie, and a basic watch.
Suit: $1,095 $383.25
Tie: $68 $51
Shirt: $79 $39.50
Watch: Daniel Wellington, $199.00
Claire Underwood:
If you want to exude confidence and professionalism in that interview, dress like Claire Underwood.
You'll never see Claire wearing frills or bright colors. She primarily sticks to structured dresses and coats — always in a neutral color like black, gray or white. Her handy work tote and black neutral pumps are the finishing touches to her power look.
Structured dress: Ted Baker, $295; BOSS $595 $446.25
Power coat: Calvin Klein $310 $139.50; Calvin Klein $310 $217
Structured bag: $358
Black pumps: $325
