Before an important meeting, a panel or an evening event, I ask myself one question: what do I want people to feel when I walk in?
Sometimes the answer is authority, so I reach for structure and strong tailoring. Sometimes it is warmth, so I choose colour and softer lines. The outfit is not the point. The intention is.
Dress for the conversation you want to have, not the one you are afraid of.
When what you wear matches what you came to do, you stop thinking about your clothes and start being present. That is the real goal.
