There are plenty of ways to dress like the powerful women without having a 90’s throwback moment. These tips allow the modern women to exude the power,
and confidence in the clothes she’s wearing.
2. Blazers- adding a blazer is the easiest way to smarten up your outfit with minimal effort. For a corporate look, pair a well fitted blazer with a pair of cigarette pants and pumps.
3. Luxe Fabrics- you don’t have to stick to tailored pieces all the time. Fabrics like silk and cashmere are perfect for modern power dressing. There bit of a splurge, but look and feel fabulous.
4.
Tailoring- a classic tip that applies just as
much in modern power dressing is to wear well fitting, tailored clothing.
Taking the steps to hem your pants or adjust the waist on a blazer can make a
dramatic difference.
5.
Colour- in a sea of black and grey, experiment
with colour where you can. Designers this season have been showing a lot of
boldly coloured matching suit sets, so if the occasion allows for it try
wearing red, yellow, orange or blue. If wearing a strong colour is out
of your comfort zone, why not try adding colour in a form of accessories like
your shoes or bag.
6.
Wear what you love- when it comes to power
dressing you must remember this step. If you’re wearing something ill fitting
or not your style- it’s going to show. You must exude confidence when power
dressing, its all about owning the look.
7.
Time keeper- a fine watch says something about a
women- I’m on time AND I’ve got style. Those two things combined scream power
and confidence. Bolder, larger faced watches are trending for women,
so skip the 1980’s small-faced version.
Above all, remember power
dressing is about the right attitude, as well as the right clothes. Be
confident, stand tall, and always smile.
