We’ve all heard of the term ‘Power Dressing’ but many of us fail to incorporate the concept into our wardrobes and our daily lives. While your favourite pair of jeans or expensive high heels might look great on a night out with friends, when it comes to the workplace, dressing appropriately is of the essence. Many men and women subconsciously send out false signals because of their inattentiveness when it comes to deciding what to wear in the workplace.
Power Dressing implies dressing to create a strong, powerful and striking impression. The way you dress in the workplace indicates your capabilities, motivation, enthusiasm and dedication to your work. Dressing sharply and smartly will show your boss that you are serious about your work and will encourage your colleagues and juniors to respect you and be enthusiastic about working with you.
An appropriate wardrobe for the workplace includes smartly cut suits, sharp jackets and preferably tailored pants and shirts both for men and women. Women can also opt for skirt-suits with discreet jewellery to look competent and fashion-forward. Well-ironed shirts and finely-knotted ties make a favourable impression. Get your clothes tailor-made if you want to maximize on comfort and fitting.
