How to Exude Power – Fashion Tips for Women
Although we all want others to judge us based on our personality, opinions, moral fiber and thoughts, the truth is that the clothes we wear play a fundamental role in determining how our friends, family, relatives, colleagues, clients, customers and everyone else sees us.
If you’re not sure what kind of clothing helps people convey a positive and successful image of themselves, try to picture a rich broker, a president, or any other successful person in your head for a second. Do you see? Most of you are probably visualizing fancy suits, pencil skirts, high heels, golf clubs, and expensive jewelry. Now try to visualize an unlucky person who hates his job and lives a mediocre life. You are probably imagining a sad person wearing skimpy clothes that reflect their mental and social state.
Do you want to be successful? Start paying more attention to what you wear and make a positive impression on those who can help you change your life and achieve your ambitious goals. First of all, make sure that everything you use is clean and tidy. Second, try to keep the following steps in mind.
Women
Women should avoid wearing too much makeup as this is not usually associated with sophisticated and successful women. If you are going to a job interview, it is important that you appear confident, serious, and professional. Navy and gray suits are a great choice for both men and women. White, light blue, striped and plaid shirts go well with the above colors, as long as they are classic and well designed. Beige, white, black, and blue pants are also great options that can easily be paired with a wide range of solid-colored and patterned blazers. When it comes to accessories, classic leather totes and briefcases are your best bet if you can’t afford an expensive designer bag.
Your jewelry should express strength, confidence and experience. Tiny heart-shaped earrings paired with a nearly invisible necklace with a silver key attached to it can be associated with sweetness, inexperience, and even weakness. If you want to be seen as a strong woman, opt for some tasteful, “strong” pieces of jewelry. Oversized necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings are great choices, especially if they’re embellished with colored gemstones. However, remember that a sophisticated and classy woman would not wear more than two visible pieces of jewelry, otherwise others might think you are trying too hard and/or not classy. When it comes to casual settings, knee-length dresses, pencil skirts in neutral colors, printed blouses, blazers, cardigans, trench coats, and classic coats can definitely help you look powerful and successful.
If you ever get tired of looking perfect every day and prefer to wear something comfortable over slim-fitting business skirts, tops and pants, neutral-colored polo shirts and chinos are practical alternatives that represent a great combination of comfort and elegance.
How to get all of the above things if you’re on a tight budget
The answer is simple. Take advantage of special offers, buy in physical or online stores that sell discounted and/or used brand clothing. As for suits, blazers, and pencil skirts, high street retailers like H&M and Zara sell stylish, affordable, fashionable clothing for women in executive jobs. Jewelry and watches can be purchased on auction websites for 1/10th of their retail price.
