Dress for success: How clothes can boost your confidence at worksubmitted on 10 October 2018
One area of life where your clothing can have a seriously positive effect on your confidence is in the workplace. Dressing for success is not the same this as dressing to impress, it's about making YOU feel good.
Wear the trousers
The instinct to look alluring at work may help with your confidence and if you are one of those people, no-one should try and stop you. It doesn't work for everybody though, and if you've noticed that trying to look feminine or sexy is having an adverse effect on how you feel at work, and possibly how you are treated, then go for the trousers. No-one is saying that women have to dress like men to be taken seriously in the workplace, but trousers are more flexible, more comfortable and make you feel less self-aware. A good trouser suit will always boost your self-confidence and remind you that you are worthy of that job.
Statement accessories
But also invest in one or two quality accessories, such as handbag or pair of shoes. This can be a real confidence booster, especially in a competitive work place.
It's great to try and make savings where you can so that you can build a confidence-boosting work wardrobe for less. Use online discount codes to achieve this. Office wear needn't be expensive and you can save serious amounts of money using discount codes from leading clothes retailers such as a list of these Matalan codes. Whatever you wear a positive mental attitude will go a long way – remember you got that job because you DESERVE to be there.
Know what suits your body type
When it comes to wearing the right shapes for your body type, it's not just about feeling that your clothes flatter your figure, it's also the simple fact that they fit you better and you don't feel over- or underexposed. There are some basic rules about body type and clothing that can go a long way to helping you feel more confident at work, including hourglass figures highlighting their waist line and apple shapes highlighting shoulders or legs.
