Power Punch: 15 Ways to dress like you mean business

Sharon Salim https://www.mariefranceasia.com/author/sharon 03 Mar 2016
  • 1/15
    The Skinny Leggings
    Accentuating your height with high heels and black colour pants will show that women are no pushovers. 

  • 2/15
    Silver
    Silver's the new grey, and a metallic silver clutch looks like you've important documents to look through, and no one can mess with you. 

  • 3/15
    The Men Shirt
    Wearing a man shirt is not wrong, if you can pull it off as "feminine-powerful". 

  • 4/15
    All-White Heels
    Empowering women since forever. 
  • 5/15
    Street Style - Day 5 : Paris Fashion Week - Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015
    Repetitive stripey lines are not only adorably cute and stylish, they are a good pair for "business" mode. 

  • 6/15
    Matching Top and Bottom
    Even if you're wearing a pair of casual skorts, matching patterned top and bottom will reflect your 'business mode.'

  • 7/15
    The Stilettos
    The sneakers won't do. 

  • 8/15
    The Pinstripe Suit
    The suit combined with faux fur, is a definite go-to business look. 

  • 9/15
    All-Black
    The "Don't mess with me" look will always nail it. 
  • 10/15
    A Working Functional Bag
    It is a reflection of how serious you are—here for work, and not for play.

  • 11/15
    All-White
    A white suit paired with white pants is the ultimate independent and clean look you should own. 

  • 12/15
    The Black Shades
    A pair of black shades would show you mean business, and a serious one at that. 

  • 13/15
    The White Collared Shirt
    Even if you're neither a banker or lawyer, crisp white would always be appreciated as formal wear. 
  • 14/15
    The Leather Black Pants
    Leather and black won't go wrong, if you're trying for serious. 
  • 15/15
    Electric Blue
    The bold colour is an instant mood-lifter and shows that you're not afraid of anything.

Show them that when you’re looking business, you mean it.

Have you ever been passed off as someone who doesn’t take things seriously—even if you were genuinely one? The most probable reason would be, you’re not dressing up to the occasion.

Apart from power suits alone, there are other matching accessories to wear to look business-y. Whether you’re talking serious with a big client or presenting your big ideas to the boss, these looks will help you figure out how to do it, in style.

Power up, ladies!
