Monday: What to wear for that important meeting or presentation?
Public speaking can an unnerving experience. You want (and need) your audience to listen to what you're saying, understand what you're saying, and be impressed with what you're saying. It doesn't matter if the 'public' or 'audience' is a room full of VIPs, your boss, or just your colleagues. The outcome could be the difference between clinching that million-dollar deal, or gaining the respect of your coworkers. This is an occasion where we need and want to feel confident, and the rest of the world to believe we are intelligent, capable, and professional. How do we exude confidence, even when we're incredibly nervous?
This calls for the Power Dress. This outfit must look sharp and sophisticated, as well as scream poise and self-assurance!
Two essential features of a Power Dress - collar + straight-cut. Why? Because they can easily become part of a formal ensemble once you put on a well-fitted blazer/jacket, and you'll all set for that CxO presentation. Pair this with comfortable pump heels to give you that confident posture, and you're sure to wow the audience the minute you step into the boardroom!
Tips:
1. Remove the jacket and your power dress transforms into an everyday corporate dress.
2. Add a belt to give it a special touch.
3. Select dresses with ruffles (in this case) or lace to spice up your outfit, but be careful not to have too many and/or complex details such that it takes the attention away from your impactful presentation!
5. Don't think you'll ever need such a Power Dress? Think again! You never know when you'd have to attend a formal function meeting important people. It's definitely one of the Wardrobe Classics we shouldn't scrimp on!
Armed with this impressive Power Dress, it's hard to not believe that you are the best! That's half the battle won!
