Level Up-People often mistake power dressing as simply matching a black suit and tie with a plain shirt and leather shoes. While these are certainly part of the list, they should be seen only as a starting point. As young professionals are more style-conscious, it is only natural for wardrobes to evolve as well. It’s all about smart choices and combinations, tops like a merino pullover that you can wear by itself or under your favorite blazer; wool trousers that you can wear with a sharp trench and dress shirt, even adding a slim tie for extra finesse. Once you have a great grasp of these basics, then you can exhibit power anywhere you go, whether it’s in a boardroom or just strutting down the street. After all, the world is your catwalk.
