Your clothing and appearance speak volumes about you. This post is for those working adults who wants more attention and respect from their subordinates/colleagues etc. You will be surprised that certain ways of dressing can help accentuate certain degree of authority and power. Have you ever been reprimanded by someone in the office and felt that you are mistreated inappropriately? Perhaps it was your dressing sense that gave way to such humiliation. Now, i will tell you certain ways to present yourself way in the office, and of course with greater authority, and hopefully people will treat you better with more respect!
Dress To Appear More Authoritative
1. Dress Neatly.
Well, this is the most idiot proof tip i have for you. Regardless of what you are wearing, it is clear that if you present yoruself neatly, regardles of whether you are wearing a pyjamas, a suit, a blazzer etc, it is always important to look neat to be well respected. Tuck in your shirts well, dont let any unwanted edges slips their way out of your pants/skirts. Iron those outfits. Dont wear something that looks like it hasnt been washed/ironed. Those crumpled outfits will suggest to your colleagues that you care less about your appearance, and this will give them a negative impression on your work and lifestyle. You will not command the same respect and authority from them. Polish those shoes if you need to. Dirt, stains, markings on your outfits should be minimized. Get a new one if there is a need to. Dont let others think you are a cheap-skate, as this will decrease the value of you as a person and will indirectly relate to the amount of respect you get at work.
2. Wear dark colours!
Darker colours like black are more authoratative than medium or light colours like yellow, blue, pink. Have you ever wondered by the agents in 'Man in Black' are literally in black suits? Well as agents, they have to present themselves as authoratative figures, therefore they chose a black suit for their apparel. However do remember that the outfit inside your blazzer shouldnt be black since your blazzer outside is already black. Wearing black inside and out may seem boring to others. I sugegst white inside and black outside. Generally darker suits project authority. Trust me, you'll never find a pink suite with rainbow patterns, because it is simply in contrast to what authoratative people want to portray. Choose dark conservative suits in navy solid or with a minimal pattern or texture for ultimate authority and control.
3. 1 pocket is enough!
Having a pocket on your suite (usually on the left side), will suggest certain degree of managerial position and a respectable figure in the workplace. Do find suites with too many pockets as that will defer the purpose of authority. Too many pockets will only suggest your lack of taste in style and it will not depict an authoratative figure. Just 1 is enough!
4. Have a pen with you!
Well, you certainly need a pen for your work. But to give a more authoratative look to yourself, hook the pen onto the pocket of your suite. It has been suggested that having a pen on the pocket of your suite sugegts that you are a ready and smart person, always on the alert. That will certainly give a more respectable reputation to your image in front of your colleagues. But please get a relatively expensive pen that shows class and style. Dont get a cheap pen please. -_-''
5. Accessories!
The key to a more authoratative look when working is to have a minimalist set of accessories. Yes! Dont think the more the better in this case. Too much accessories may give others the impression that you are too obssessed about your look and not focused on your work and hence decline the authoratative value in you. For guys, wear a watch; a classy, silver metallic casio watch. You may also wear a tie if neccessary. Choosing the colour though may be tricky. Choose colours like blue, and with minimalist patterns and designs. For females, get a watch and an earring, something that is simple and minimalist, not too fancy. Something formal!
6. Heels.
As i said in my previous, even guys nowadays are wearing hidden heals! Dont be shy about it! That added inches in height can help to boost your confidence when you work and you can present yourself with greater power and authority! Females, get heels that are not too tall, you dont want to end up walking like a duck with a pain feet at the end of your work shift. Females, get black heels that is about 2 inches. For guys, you too may get a shoe that has hidden 2-3 added inches in insoles.
7. Hairdo!
Females, for goodess sake, tie your hair! That is the simple rule! You dont want to thic unkemptk hair bellowing at your boss's face when the wind blows. Tie them to the back, either into a bun or a ponytail. Make sure your hair is neatly tied. The trick to look authoratative is not too look like a sl*t or a glam wh*re, but to look classy, formal and respectable. For guys, it is better to have a short haircut and you may put some gel to spike them up or simply comb them neatly. For guys with long hairs, i suggest either you cut them up to your shoulder length and let them hang freely(but neatly) or tie them neatly into a bun.
8. Shoulder Pads!
Shoulder pads certainly adds authority. Slightly padded shoulders and collar adds come degree of authority and power to your image.
9. Apart from the looks! Smell good!
Get a Perfume/fragrance! When you smell great, people are more likely to confide in you. This will translate to a better working environment, and indirectly shows a certain impact you have on others. This will translate to the kind of respect and authority you indirectly inpose on others. You wouldn't want others in the office to smell your BO and go' Oh my god'. Imagine the kind of reputation you will have and the respect others will give to you.
Regardless of what business occassions it is, it is important that you wear to suit the occassion. Whether it is your everyday office work, or it is some work attahcment/ or work casual day, remembers these tips! Some girls can also use make-up to do some light touch-up. Also, dressing well is one thing, the aura that unleash from within you is one thing. Confidence is the key! If you have the confidence, it will automatically translate to more authority and respect. Do your job well so others will think highly of you! Dont bad-mouth others in the office. Dont involve yourself in politics! Be yourself! Remember, confidence!
