Confidence Creator - The Power Suit

Origins

Originating in the 1980s, the Power Suit became a popular style throughout the decade. It became a fashion statement that brought authority and respectability, particularly for women looking to gain equality within the workplace. Since the decade, the suit has been shaped into a style that helps people express their confidence and feel good in what they wear. 

Key Features

So what is it that defines a power suit? The key is… simplicity. They should fit you perfectly in both personality and form. Their purpose is quite literally to empower you - if you look powerful, more often than not you will start to feel it. No particular style creates a power suit, it’s all about making a statement. It’s a design that resonates with your personality to help you look your best.

4 key trends are associated with the Power Suit…

1. Bold colours

2. Unique style details

3. Striking silhouettes

4. Impeccable tailoring

Empowerment through a power suit can benefit us in more ways than you think. Studies have shown that the way we dress can impact how we see the world around us. Therefore, the concept of 'dressing for success’ has been something individuals are starting to live by.

Dressing in something that you love to wear and that makes a statement triggers the idea of dopamine dressing. This leads to you feeling more comfortable in your environment, which has been shown to improve aspects of your mental health.

As much as we would love to say that wearing a power suit will solve all your problems in the workplace, sadly we know this isn’t the case. However, it’s a great stepping stone to being yourself and feeling great.
