Empowering Rejuvenating Indulgent We know clothes have the power to impress, influence and make an impact, but just as important is how they make you feel. ‘I describe my Fold jacket as my superwoman cloak,’ says Crystal Eisinger, head of brand and editorial at Google. As we settle into autumn (not forgetting Covid), it’s the perfect time to embrace the revitalising effects of ‘mood dressing’. It might be that you want to feel polished and relaxed at the same time in a statement blouse paired with black or navy trousers. Or feminine and powerful in a smart dress and heels. Or strong and confident in a trouser suit and bold jewellery. Clothes can do all of these things for you and help to create a positive mindset as well. If you’re getting dressed up for an evening out (government guidelines permitting!), or looking to rejuvenate your work wardrobe, we have a selection of indulgent styles to get you in the mood.
