Do you ever wake up feeling like you want to seize the day and everything else around it? Do you ever draw your blinds wide and feel like the sun is practically smiling on your face? Or do you wake up feeling like today is not the day? Well, whatever is your morning mood, we’ve got just the perfect styles to match it or amp it up.
Whether your approach revolves around the customary sky-high heels, crisp cuts and straight fit blazers (take a look at our previous article on power dressing) or a more laid-back look with statement prints and flowy dresses, power dressing is all about wearing outfits that make you feel comfortable, powerful and most of all confident. The right type of outfit can turn a bad day into a good one, uplift your spirits and make you feel exceptionally confident; and that is power dressing. Strut into your office with boots or heels, jeans or trousers, dresses or coats, whatever your way of suiting up is. Make sure to look good along with feeling good!
Here are our picks on how to suit up powerfully!
Start off with choosing a blouse, this will define the rest of your outfit based on its style and print.
If it’s an extravagant blouse with statement prints, then tone down the rest of the pieces, whereas, if it’s a comparatively plain blouse then you can play around with the coat and bottoms.
Move onto your bottoms. Based on whether you’re going to layer a jacket/blazer on top, your bottoms need to match your blouse as well as the blazer and if you’re not adding a blazer, then they need to be a powerful match with the blouse.
And if you don’t feel like separating your top and bottom, take a look at these dresses and designer jumpsuits:
Or go for coordinated sets and monochrome outfits:
Finally, the epitome of power, the Blazer is the piece that brings the entire outfit together and creates your final look. Since the blazer is the most important layer of the outfit, pick up something that either amps it up (if you have a basic outfit) or something that creates a cohesive look (if your previous layer is extra).
To have an outfit that makes you feel good is essential. It boosts your confidence and creates an atmosphere to inspire. Power dressing is an indispensable part of such a lifestyle. Adapt this to your everyday routine and inspire your way away.
