Newly promoted, or maybe you are just looking for a wardrobe revamp? They say how you look can speak volumes about you, from first impressions to lasting impressions. Women in leadership want to leave an impression of power, strength, and being in control. Dressing for workplace success can help your image in the office hierarchy and demand respect from your peers.
In this article, we share some professional attire tips that will power up your style.
A Power Suit Will Always Be Powerful!
Even if your office does not require wearing suits, nothing is more powerful and an instant confidence boost than a great-fitting suit. On days when you need to lead a meeting or a presentation, a crisp suit will leave the impression of you being in charge. A blazer with broad shoulders is a great foundation for a power-dressing wardrobe. The key to the power suit will always be the fit. Do not procrastinate in having it tailored to fit you perfectly if you find it a little ill-fitting.
Look Polished.
Proper grooming should be a no-brainer, even if you aren't the boss. Going to work tidy and well-dressed involves not only your clothes but also your fragrance, your skin care, your makeup, your nails, and your bags.
Days can be long, and you never know what may happen. Keep your appearance pristine by carrying around a stain pen for emergencies. For worst-case scenarios, keep an extra shirt or blazer to change into in your office or car.
Be Ready to Go from Day to Night!
Not all meetings are scheduled. Some can go from day to evening. Dressing in clothes that can go from day to night is a great way to look professional. In your workplace wardrobe, invest in some multi-use pieces that can go from the boardroom to the bar.
It's Not Just About How You Dress.
Dressing for success is not a one-style-fits-all concept. You will find that workplace fashion is dependent on how the clothes make you feel. When you feel great in the clothes you are wearing, you stand up taller and walk with more confidence. Uncomfortable in heels? Choose kitten heels instead. Don't like to show your legs? Stick to tailored pants.
Fashion has no rule book, so do not bind yourself to styles that will leave you more conscious and unconfident.
Conclusion
Dressing to impress does not always mean you are dressing for others. How you feel in your clothes plays a huge part, too. We have listed a few professional dress tips here, but at the end of the day, it is up to you to create the workplace style that you feel confident in.
Every workplace is different. If you believe you look good, you'll feel better and be more confident. For empowering female professionals, style is a great way to express yourself. Have fun finding what works best for you!
