The 7 Big-Time Benefits of Dressing Well

It’s time to chat about something that’s always buzzing around but rarely talked about in a way that empowers us – pretty privilege. Let’s dive in, embrace it, and learn how to make it work for you.

What are the benefits of dressing well?

Pretty privilege is the undeniable fact that people who are deemed more attractive often get treated better. This can mean better service, more opportunities, and even higher salaries.

Unfair? Sure, but instead of getting bogged down by the suckiness of it, let's see how to use this to your advantage.

Learning How to Style Yourself and Dress Well Helps Everyone

Beauty is incredibly subjective and diverse. People have a personal taste and preferences, however, there are some standards our society lives by (right or wrong) that make some things inherently more attractive (like grooming).

No matter what you have to work with, you can use fashion styling and image consulting to level up.

Tip #1: learn how to highlight your best features

Identify what good stuff you’re starting with (we all have good stuff so don't go there).

Is it your height, your eyes, or maybe your hands? Accentuate these features with a wholeheartedness you haven't before.

For example: stop going to a local random barber for your haircut. Find an in-demand hair stylist who costs more than you'd like to pay and is an artist in their field.

When you feel good about yourself, it shows, and others notice too.

Tip #2: Dress for Success

No, it's not a bumper sticker.

Clothes have a powerful impact on how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us.

Dressing well can boost your confidence, open new doors, and command rooms, and help you overcome imposter syndrome. Check out how our client Alicia's life was impacted by her new personal style.

Confidence is the essence of pretty privilege.

And confidence comes from self-assurance.

Confidence can be cultivated, and it starts with a good fucking outfits.

(Plus, a big dose of self-care and self-love.)

You're already halfway there when you walk into a room with your head held high and a smile on your face.

Tip #3: Create a Self-Care Routine Outside of Your Personal Style

Invest in yourself.

While I am not about to tell you to do anything drastic like a nose job (that's outside my wheelhouse), there are ways we can spend our time, money, and energy to help our external or internal beauty shine.

This could be a skincare routine, regular exercise, flossing, or a new therapist.

When you feel good, you look good.

And it shows.

Are you doing what you know you can in areas you value and want to grow, or are you making excuses?

Tip #4: Leverage Your Personal Style to achieve Your Goals

Your style is your statement to the world. It's how you express yourself without saying a word. Let’s make sure that statement is powerful and helps turbo-boost your results.

Your personal brand is an influential part of the dates you attract and how you're perceived at work.

Yes, some people can be total slobs and be achingly successful at everything. They are usually pop stars or a product of the Red Sneaker Effect (more of that science stuff).

If you are neither of those things, why not use all the leverage you've got?

Tip #5: Finding Your Personal Style

Discover and embrace your personal style. Whether you’re classic, sporty, preppy, or a boho queen, wear what makes you feel fabulous. (And, assuming you have goals, integrate that personal style into Tip #4).

Tip #6: Professional Presentation and Stepping Into Your Leadership Role

In most professional settings, dressing well can make a significant difference.

I say most because let's be serious, some places have their own rules.

Still, it shows that you care about your appearance and are serious about your role. It’s not about being superficial; it’s about presenting the best version of yourself.

More on that: Conquer that boardroom with a wardrobe that screams confidence and competence.

Yes, science proves you look more competent when you dress well.

Turn Pretty Privilege into a Confidence Boost

Remember, pretty privilege is not just about looks. It’s about how you carry yourself and the energy you bring into a room. Here’s how to harness that energy:

Tip #7: Continuous Improvement

Always look for ways to improve and grow. This could be learning new skills, staying updated with trends, or seeking advice from experts.

Pretty privilege is real, but it’s not just about physical appearance. It’s about confidence, and how you present yourself to the world.

Use looking good to your advantage and get what you want.
