CONFIDENCE DRESSING

How Clothing Impacts Our Confidence

By Denise P. Barrett, Ph.D.

Fashion and style can be overwhelming topics! The 10 essential tips below can work for women of all ages as "goto" guidelines to being "forever fabulous"!

1 FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE LASTING, MAKE YOURS A GOOD ONE

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. This phrase is parallel with "Dress for the Occasion" I also like to align it with setting a fashion "goal" for whatever the event or occasion is you are attending and putting forth your best effort.

2 LESS IS MORE

Enhance the positive, minimize the negative, focus on highlighting one or two of your most flattering features as a rule of thumb for "confidence dressing."

3 IF YOU ARE QUESTIONING YOURSELF, DON'T WEAR IT

This tip speaks for itself, "whenever in doubt, don't do it."

4 FIGURE FLATTERING FINESSE

Research, learn and leverage the assets of your figure type and shape. Enhance your body with the appropriate clothing and accessories.

5 COLOR ME BEAUTIFUL

Certain colors bring you to life, while certain colors wash you out, have fun experimenting with finding the right colors that bring out the best in you.

6 FIT IS EVERYTHING

An ill-fitted outfit can ruin the look you are aiming to achieve; the right fit is everything! Be sure your clothes fit well, invest in getting alterations, even for casual items like jeans and button-down shirts.

7 PERSONAL STYLES VS. TRENDS

One's personal style is forever once established with intention. Trends pass like ships in the night. Which one do you wish to choose?

8 ACCESSORIZE TO GLAMOURIZE

Accessories make all the difference from drab to fab! Take the time to learn the art of accessorizing, and remember your hair and nails are the ultimate accessories to your fashion ensembles!

9 SHOES MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

"A woman with good shoes is never ugly" – Coco Chanel, French Fashion Designer. Shoes can make or break an outfit and truly add the finishing touch.

10 MINDFUL MAKE-UP

Be mindful with your make-up. Use make-up as a tool to express who you are, complement your outfit while being appropriate for the occasion!
