Is your wardrobe holding back your business growth? Imagine the potential for personal growth and empowerment that could be unlocked by a wardrobe transformation.
Many women who work from home make two common wardrobe mistakes. First, they don’t establish a new signature look. For instance, a signature look could be a tailored blazer paired with a statement necklace and comfortable yet stylish pants. Second, they hang on to corporate clothing they will never wear again. Eventually, they may find themselves needing to attend in-person events, but their work-from-home wardrobe is unsuitable for these high-level networking events, raising questions about their wardrobe.
You may no longer feel connected to the pieces you used to wear in a corporate setting. Working from home has made comfort a priority, but it may not reflect your current energy and identity.
In-person events have a different energy, and the ability to connect with people on a personal level is invaluable for building trust.
If you continue wearing only comfortable clothes for day-to-day activities without having a well-planned wardrobe, it may not align with your personal brand. Your appearance is a powerful tool in networking, just like choosing colors for your website or professional headshots, your look needs to be consistent.
For in-person networking, it’s important to have a well-thought-out look that aligns with the quality of the event. This doesn’t have to be a large collection, but you should prepare a few go-to looks in advance to avoid last-minute stress. One tip is to have a ‘power outfit’ that you feel confident and comfortable in, and another is to have a ‘versatile outfit’ that can be dressed up or down depending on the event.
Before attending any networking event, ask yourself: What is your signature look for networking? What energy, or vibe, do you want to embody when entering a room? For example, you might want to project confidence, approachability, or professionalism. How will your look support the energy you want to project? Your appearance can play a role in building relationships and attracting new business opportunities.
