5 Fashion Must-Haves Every Powerful Career Woman Needs
Dress for success. That’s what we’ve always been told. The fact is, there is some proof that the things you wear can make a difference in how successful you are. If you feel like a powerful and strong career woman, then you can become one. If you’re always working from home in your pyjamas, you’re not going to feel very productive. You don’t need a complete wardrobe overhaul to become that goal orientated business woman, however. Just a few key pieces can make all the difference.
- A Suit
It doesn’t matter what industry you work in, you need a suit in your wardrobe. You’ll be surprised how different putting a suit on can make you feel. It’s one of the reasons it has become a dress code for those working in high powered positions. Even if it’s not the kind of thing you’d wear every day, it’s a good idea to have one. You never know when you might need that extra bit of confidence. Or, when you may need to impress someone. Pantsuit or skirt suit, it doesn’t matter. As long as you own one.
- Killer Heels
Every powerful woman should own a collection of killer heels. Even if you usually work in your slippers. There’s something about these shoes that says, “I am the boss and I am in control.” As long as you can walk in them, of course. If you’re unable to walk in heels, then we’d suggest wearing them around the house first. Unless you want to shatter that “I am the boss and I am in control” illusion. If you find heels far too difficult, then opt for brogues. Avoid dolly shoes at all costs.
- A Watch
No successful career woman is ever late. She’s always on time and looking her best, no matter what the situation. You can find watches for women in a whole variety of different styles and colours. Invest in a few different ones, to go with your different looks. Sophisticated and stylish for when you’re at work. Something more playful for when you’re at home. You’ll never be late and you’ll always look good.
- A Little Black Dress
As you climb your way up the career ladder, you’ll begin to get invites to important parties. The kind where you’re not allowed to get drunk and dance on the tables. This is where a little black dress will become your best friend. It’s simple and demure, yet can easily be transformed with some accessories. Pair it with your killer heels and you’re onto a winner.
- A Classic Designer Handbag
It doesn’t matter if you’re buying your pantsuits from thrift stores, a designer handbag will convince everyone your suits are handmade in Italy. As a successful and powerful career woman, you’ll need to carry around a lot of stuff. Cellphone, compact, tablet, notebook, and so on. Invest in a sturdy bag that will hold all of your stuff while still looking fantastic. A good, classic bag should last the test of time too.
That’s it! That really is all you need. We said you didn’t need to completely overhaul your wardrobe. These key pieces can fill you with confidence and a sense of success. Which is something every successful career woman needs.
