Dress for Success: How Executives, CEOs, and Office Workers Can Increase Motivation and Productivity (Especially When You WFH)
If you’ve been unmotivated to make waves or overwhelmed by decision fatigue, understanding the science of style (and how it advances your career) can put sluggishness out to pasture and help you dress for success.
Using clothes to feel powerful and appear more confident may seem obvious, but it’s a science-backed psychological fact that what you wear can electrify your creativity, increase your motivation, and control your output.
Scientists and psychologists have found that how we sit, stand, and hold our bodies greatly impacts our mood, self-confidence, and hormones.
Okay, okaaaay, so what does being successful at work have to do with clothing?
Wearing fitted clothes improves posture, forces stature, and fakes confidence through natural power poses brought on by wearing structured garments - especially during important events, meetings, and interviews.
Basically: it’s harder to slouch when your clothes fit. Thus, when you wear them, you’ll power pose, and come off as a power player, by default.
Styling Tip: hack WFH and other “getting shit done” settings by choosing clothes that require you to step it up.
Like a button-up, sportcoat, zip sweater, body-skimming dress, blazer, or pants with a button fly. Comfort doesn't have to be thrown out the door, but when you narrow down the athleisure to required settings, you will see greater results - and a better reputation - in everything you do.
