Refresh your work wardrobe in 2017
Your first impression when meeting someone is golden. In this society, as much as we try to avoid it, people automatically judge you on your appearance, whether you’re in line for a prospective job or meeting new people socially.
You have the power to influence the way in which people view you by presenting yourself in an optimal way to maximise your impact when meeting others. Taking control of your visual impact can enable you to project your desired personal brand – and create strong Personal Impact Power.
The simplest way to magnify your personal impact power in the work place is to have these key wardrobe essentials, which should be tailored to your individual style:
- “Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette.” – Ricardo Tisci
A classic black suit is the most versatile item of clothing to own. It can be paired with a variety of shirts and blouses to either dress it up or down.
- “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe
A pair of comfortable, gorgeous shoes – be it heels or flats – pulls an outfit together effortlessly.
- “It’s downright undignified how many blazers I’ve bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.” – Rashida Jones
Don’t be afraid to think out of the box when it comes to your blazers. Wearing a bold colour or trendy design will add that personal touch to your look.
- “I’ve always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman’s outfit.” – Michael Kors
 
Add that finishing touch to your outfit with a stylish handbag, or go the extra mile with a vibrant accessory such as a scarf or broach as a light touch to portray your personality.
Let 2017 be the year where you take control of the impression that you leave with others and portray your personal brand to your best ability. Contact us to book a complimentary assessment with a specialist coach to enhance your personal image and ensure a successful impact power in the workplace.
