It's a time when 'dress­ing to im­press'/'dress­ing for suc­cess' what­ev­er that means, con­sis­tent­ly seems to be rein­vent­ing its modus operan­di. The truth is that there ex­ists a frame­work of style op­tions with­in which we choose to out­fit our­selves for the world of work that al­lows per­son­al style to re­side, ef­fort­less­ly and ego­is­ti­cal­ly. In oth­er words, you can very well suit your­self!

To be in your strong suit no longer means that you need to fol­low suit, in terms of whole­sale copy­ing, a man's dress­ing-for-suc­cess gam­bits. Busi­ness wom­enswear as­sumes cor­po­rate chic, ur­ban pro­fes­sion­al, of­fice style-savvy pro­por­tions which in­deed spank of board­room tai­lor­ing but which al­lows you to bring a fem­i­nine game that is in­di­vid­u­al­is­tic and above all self-in­dul­gent. Here's to pow­er dress­ing 101!

Pow­er dress­ing is back but with a flair that in­cor­po­rates a touch of ease and a tad of flam­boy­ance. Af­ter all, 'boss-la­dy' style must nev­er seem forced. Pow­er is in the seam­less ap­pear­ance of ease and cer­tain­ly must come with a dain­ty de­gree of girl­ish al­lure.

Banker pin­stripes go hand in hand with mis­matched pol­ka dots as long as the sil­hou­ettes con­vey struc­ture and in­vite con­fi­dence. Mould­ed shoul­ders, sleek lines and be­spoke tex­tures pro­mote trust and war­rant sober en­gage­ment, so a lit­tle whim­sy that adds char­ac­ter and colour to trans­ac­tions go a long way in forg­ing a look of savoir-faire which makes dress­ing for the of­fice un­com­pli­cat­ed­ly gra­cious, flaw­less­ly grace­ful and more so ab­solute­ly grat­i­fy­ing.

A bold hue popped as an in­ner sep­a­rate or an out­stand­ing shade top­ping off a win­some en­sem­ble, both give new mean­ing to pow­er dress­ing, as we know it, and clear­ly trans­forms our think­ing of the look-for-busi­ness which suits our in­de­pen­dent pref­er­ence. Dress­ing for suc­cess is now in­formed with our sin­gu­lar sense of self with­in the par­a­digm of cor­po­rate as­sur­ance. So suit your­self!
