If you are a female entrepreneur, this channel is for you. So don't forget to subscribe and then hit
the bell to get notified when I post a new video, which is every Wednesday. For the past 15 years,
I've been a stylist. I style many celebrities. But I also spent years styling for editorials, music
videos, and advertising jobs. Now I help many female entrepreneurs develop a powerful image.
So if you are at the point where you don't know what is your personal style and you need
help defining it, I have a very fun quiz that will help you discover
what that style is. You will get a list of wardrobe pieces and brands,
and I will link it in the description below. So without further ado, let's get started.
What makes us look trustworthy? What type of looks you need to wear in order for your clients
to trust you, especially if you're meeting somebody for the first time? The key is to
always look appropriate for this situation. So you don't want to look overdressed,
because that might be sort of suspicious, as well as you don't want to be underdressed, because that
might give the wrong impression as well. Now, depends on what type of event you're attending,
either a discovery call, maybe a coaching call, or in person event, you have to dress appropriately
for that occasion. And you only have seven seconds to make the first impression. So what you are
wearing is really important to make sure that you are projecting the right image. You don't look
overdressed and you can be intimidating to others, and you don't want to be underdressed either.
Now there are certain silhouettes that will be more than appropriate for most
events that you will be attending and you will always protect the right image and you will always
look trustworthy. So we're going to start with tailored blazers, and I've been talking about
blazers on this channel for few weeks now. Blazers are one of the silhouettes that can automatically
elevate your simple look, because blazers are one of those silhouettes that are staple
wardrobe pieces in a courtroom and a corporate environment. Now, blazers can automatically
help you project the right image, and it helps you look more trustworthy as well.
So now when picking the right blazers, look at the fit first. So you want the shoulders
to hit you at the shoulder line. When you close the button, you don't want the fit to be too
tight and uncomfortable. Now the key is to style the blazer according to the event that you are
attending. Because blazers have more of a formal shape, it will automatically elevate your look. So
think about how you're going to style this blazer in order not to look overdressed or underdressed.
So if you're attending, let's say, sales calls
or discovery calls, you can just style it with a simple top. If you're attending any type of,
let's say, a formal event, you can add a blazer on top of a dress or maybe a jumpsuit.
Now you can easily wear it on top of a blouse or maybe style it with classic slacks.
Dark blazers will give you more serious look. Lighter blazers will be a little bit more casual.
Button-up shirts. Now, a button-up shirt is a classic piece and a wardrobe essential
that will be very versatile, whether you are attending sales calls or any other type of
events. So the question is, how does a button-up shirt help you look more trustworthy? And the
answer is, because the button-up shirt is a classic look. It's a fundamental
piece that automatically gives you so much more authority. That's why wearing
a classic button-up shirt will help you look more trustworthy in front of your clients.
Now, you have a couple of options here to choose from depending obviously on what
type of event you are attending and also how you want to style yourself.
So let's start with a solid button-up shirt. This is a classic, simple, polished look,
and you will never look unprofessional or out of place. Now, if you want to look a little bit more
casual, you can pick printed button-up shirt, but make sure that you pick small prints.
Now, in terms of the styling it, it does make a big difference. So how you want to style yourself,
if you want to look more professional, more serious, more modest,
close the buttons all the way up. If you open one or more buttons,
this gives you more a casual and relaxed look, but you will still look trustworthy.
Pantsuit. There is nothing more powerful than a pantsuit, especially if you pick
monochromatic solid well-structured pantsuit. This silhouette helps to create a professional
look and will help you project more powerful image, so you will automatically look more
trustworthy. It's because of its shape. Now, again, this type of look can be found in a
court and corporate environment. And it's very professional look and will
not only help you look more presentable, but it will help you feel like you are a superwoman.
Now, the key is the fit. So pick a classic silhouette. So look for single-breasted blazers.
You want to make sure that it fits you well.
And classic slacks. So now you can start out with just a simple top. Make sure to pick a solid color
or a button-up shirt underneath. Style it with heels and voila, you are ready to go.
Sheath dress. Now a sheath dress is a form-fitting dress with a defined waist. This type of dress is
very well constructed, usually made out of panels, and nicely fits the silhouette. Now,
because of the fit and the structure, it helps you create a more powerful look. Again,
those type of silhouettes are very common in a corporate environment,
in an environment where there is a strict dress code. This look gives so
much power, especially if the silhouette fits you really, really well. It automatically
helps you and gives you more authority. Therefore, it makes you look more trustworthy.
Now, if you want to have more serious look, I suggest that you wear solid, dark color dresses.
Usually dark colors are more intimidating, which is great if you are attending any type of formal
events and you maybe have some sort of speaking engagements. Now, you should pick a short sleeve
dresses instead of sleeveless dresses, because it gives more professional look.
For even more powerful look, you can add a blazer on top of the dress. With this type of look, you
will feel like you are a strong, powerful female entrepreneur and you will be taken seriously,
and will help you look more trustworthy in front of your clients and your potential clients.
Now you know exactly what are the four wardrobe essentials in order to look more trustworthy.
