Power dressing isn't always about suits. It's often more subtle. It's an attitude, a confidence.
I do it when the situation requires it or if I want to feel more confident |

I wear a suit for work. Someone once told me to dress for the job you want, not the job you’ve got. So I chucked the dresses and cardigans and upgraded my wardrobe. I’ve worn a suit for about 3 years. I’m in a different role now and I think it makes people take me more seriously.

Does clothing relate to your identity a little?
Think it was an actress who once quoted, “as soon as I step into the shoes”.
Is power dressing the same? |

Yes I think I take on a different identity in the suit. Both of my jobs require assertiveness that doesn’t come naturally me. I think putting on the suit makes me carry myself with more confidence. Adding heels keeps it feminine (and only I know what’s going on underneath the suit) but I feel more able to assert my authority when dressed formally, |

I feel I step into my femme self. It's not a power thing, but a mask, a different identity I play with. |

Oh love seeing a women who has dressed like this and always wonder what is underneath. Has she kept on the normal every day tights or has she gone the whole hog and slipped on hold up or stockings and suspenders |

For me yes, if I have a really tough meeting , clothes are important part of getting it right , because as well as the confidence it gives me , judging by presence and appearance is a reality. I’ll also dress certain ways to get through certain airports without hassle, and it works.
Also when they come off , I step fully out of the role |

Work in the legal profession and was once told by a female District Judge that when sitting in Court she would always wear stockings and suspenders - gave her a sense of power sitting there with everyone in front of her not having a clue what she was wearing underneath |
