Power Dressing
Eliz’ Elegant Apparel
Power dressing is alive and thriving. During earlier decades the uniform of corporate legions was
the navy blue suit for all genders. It was characterized as the formula in a bottle for success.
Today power dressing is still alive, but offers guidelines rather than setting strict parameters.
The rule of one minute body scan is very much in vogue. What you may ask is the one minute
body scan?
When we meet someone, we form an impression within the first minutes of that
meeting. Those are the seconds when the body scan is occurring; it is usually head to toe, and a quick reverse.
That data is fed into our,”people rating” scale. Now this scale can and usually operates just
underneath our conscious mind level. It is based upon what we consider as appropriate for the
occasion. Dress is one of the initial ways we categorize people. The physical appearance is
weightier than dialog and body language combined.
Since physical appearance is the main tool used to rate people, or how they rate us; we can work to
manage those first impressions. This is important for job interviews, for promotion interviews, and
sales representatives. For instance: unpolished shoes, wrinkled pants/trousers will greatly
influence the decision to hire or promote. If you are serious about climbing the corporate ladder as
management or staff, you must look the position before you receive it.
These helpful nuggets are based upon the well practiced art of managing your appearance through
power dressing. Colors speak LOUDLY! Therefore keep your primary colors neutral and solid.
Dress up or down with the appropriate accessories. Included in the power dress presentation are
hair styles, hair colors, makeup, nails, and please ladies don’t wear high heel sandals. Pumps are
crucial for those settings.
You manage your appearance, and it can be important in managing your salary and your position.
