Mix prints
Gone are the days of when power dressing meant sticking to a beige suit with shoulder pads. Stripes can be a great way to go bold. Don’t be afraid to mix prints.
Opt for cropped pants
Try mixing things up by opting for slim, cropped pants and a matching tailored coat.
Adding a blazer to your outfit is one of the easiest tips for modern power dressing for women. It’s important to wear well-fitting, tailored clothing.
Choose classy and elegant jewellery. Keep it simple and avoid too much bling.
Add some colour in the form of accessories like your shoes or bag. Embrace colour and don’t be afraid to play around with bright, bold colours.
Power dressing for women is so much more than about finding the right suit for your body. It’s about dressing in an outfit that fits you well and that is unique. Women are no longer confined to trying to fit into the ill-fitting mould of box-like and out-of-shape “power suits” of yester-year. Women are more comfortable in different styles of dressing, whether it’s while wearing a slim-fit pencil skirt or a colourful maxi dress with minimal accessories and stylish wedge heels.
Jan-Michail, a former award-winning Christian Dior designer and now CEO of Image Group International says:
“When your mouth is shut, your image does the communicating.”
“Less is more,” so avoid over-accessorising.
Power dressing for women is all about getting the right cut for your body shape and size. This is why it’s so important to get tailored clothing that’s well-fitting. Your accessories should complement your outfit and add more colour to it.
You should know your body shape and dress to it.
“It is about defining yourself and defining your personal brand to stand out.”
