When you want to overthrow your father to become the CEO of a democracy-defying media conglomerate, you need the wardrobe to complement it. Succession’s Siobhan Roy knows the art of power dressing. Her most recognizable staple? A well-constructed pair of wide-leg pants.

Ahead of the final season's premiere on Sunday, we were inspired to curate a handful of such trousers from our favorite brands that you can wear in your own life, whether you’re at the forefront of a crumbling family business or you just want a pair to wear to happy hour. Cheers to the Roys!

Everlane

The Way-High® Drape Pant

Everlane’s The Way High Drape Pant is no-frills, with front pleats and an intentionally slouchy silhouette. However, you can opt to get them in a shorter inseam if your workplace is more boardroom and less open concept. They’re made with fabric that’s thick enough that it doesn’t crease after you’ve been sitting at your computer passively aggressively “per my last email”-ing all day.

We’re not entirely sure that Shiv has fun (not even at her own wedding), but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Pull out these faux leather wide-leg pants from Maeve when you’re ready to party. Form-fitting through the hips and buttery soft to the touch, they’ll play up your assets as you sip on a glass of chilled white wine. They’re available in a cropped length too, plus petite, tall, and plus sizes.

Hey Good American, can we make a petition to rename these jeans “The Siobhan”? They have a dramatic, palazzo leg that will pair well with everything from heeled boots to ballet flats. Slip ‘em on for work, for weekend trips to the farmer’s market, or to your family’s therapy session-slash-photo op in the desert.

Similar to Everlane’s, Abercrombie’s menswear-inspired wide-leg pants are available at a lower price point, and in a range of colors. We love the pink hue for business lunches with your nemesis. Everyone will be asking you where you got them, and we’re here to tell you that it’s okay to be honest.

ALO

High-Waist Elevation Trouser

Thankfully we’re not Siobhan, because she’s never seen in athleisure. After all, not everyone can be so buttoned-up (and desperately uncomfortable) 24/7. ALO’s wide-leg trousers have a thick elastic waistband with adjustable Velcro straps. While we wouldn’t suggest these for an IRL board meeting, if you’re dialing into a vote of no confidence like “number one boy” Kendall, these will work just fine.

Whether you’re summering in the South of France with other nepo babies or keeping your travels domestic, ensure that these breezy linen pants from Reformation are in tow. They’re oversized and ultra-flowy for a breezy, I’m-barely-even-trying look. Just don’t forget your steamer.

Alice & Olivia

Dylan Pant

As someone of your status, unfortunately, you need to be seen out and about some weekends — and not just at the cocktail bar. Alice + Olivia’s Tiffany blue trousers are statements in their own right, making the rest of your outfit planning easy. They’re lightweight with a chic pintuck detail throughout the leg, and we’d like to think Shiv would pair them with a fitted tee and oversized blazer.

Go ahead, wear these pants to the shareholders’ dinner where your dad announces he is, in fact, not stepping down as CEO. Heck, wear ‘em to your own wedding, where you ask your husband if you can open up the relationship. They’re silky and flowy but decidedly fancy. You’ll be turning heads and breaking hearts (namely, Tom’s).

Essential to any day spent lounging by the beach or pool is a pair of pull-on, relaxed-fitting pants that won’t leave you feeling overheated. They’re the only pair on this list with a low- to mid- rise waist to show off your new designer swimsuit. Best paired with a floppy straw hat, SPF 50, and an ice cold Pellegrino.

If you really want to embody Shiv — despite her lower family ranking ahead of the final season — you should be sleeping in wide-leg pants, too. Might we recommend this ridiculously luxe cotton silk pair from Lunya? Wear them with a cropped tee or comfy bralette for an elevated sleepwear look that practically screams “rich, soon-to-be divorcee.”
