Empower your wardrobe, empower your life. Five essential tips to dress and feel your most powerful.
The art of power dressing goes well beyond channeling those larger-than-life ‘80s shoulder pads à la Working Girl. It doesn’t always have to mean business suits and boardrooms or sky high heels that make you stand taller. Power dressing is about wearing what makes you feel your strongest, best, and most confident self. Power dressing is about walking into a room and knowing you belong there. Most importantly, power dressing is about investing in a wardrobe that parallels the type of life you want to lead.
There are the obvious pieces that instantly make us think of power dressing, like a classic button-down shirt, well-tailored pants to carry you stylishly from 9-to-5, and of course the quintessential power suit. But the truth is, the style concept extends well beyond those office-friendly staples. A cashmere sweater that keeps you cozy on a cool day, a top coat that looks effortlessly elegant while running from meeting to meeting, a dress that puts that extra swing in your step—these are all pieces that make you feel good when you wear them. And what could be more powerful than that?
As a brand that was quite literally built to empower women in their everyday life, we know a thing or two about power dressing at Misha Nonoo. Every piece we put out is carefully designed with sustainability in mind and made for the modern woman on the go who is always in charge of her life. Through partnerships, production practices, and beyond, our mission is always to uplift and empower women in their everyday lives. Whether shopping or getting dressed, here are our five no-fail style rules that will always have you looking and feeling your best when putting together an outfit. Consider it your crash course in Power Dressing 101…
Five Style Tips for Power Dressing Like a Boss
A defining component of our mission at Misha Nonoo is to pioneer sustainability practices and maintain full transparency with our customers throughout the evolving process. We want you to be in the know when it comes to your clothing’s background stories—they’re just as important as the story of the woman wearing them.
Our on-demand business model helps eliminate 90% of the waste contributed by the traditional bulk production many companies follow. Furthering our mission to empower women, we partnered with a woman-owned factory in Shenzhen, China to pioneer this new way of making clothes, where the only garments ever made are the ones customers have actually ordered. In addition, we’ve eliminated all plastic from domestic shipments and introduced new sustainable fabrics made from natural fibers with zero-waste knit production. To us, these impacts are what the DNA of power dressing is all about.
Find what silhouettes, fabrics, and styles you feel your absolute best in. Whether that’s a silky button down shirt that makes you feel ultra luxurious and sexy or a soft T-shirt that makes you feel comfortable and minimal. Once you find those feel good pieces, it will be easier to build looks that make you feel ready to conquer the world.
If you ever need help finding the perfect fit, our stylists are always available to help. Whether it’s finding your best-fitting pant size or the secret to the perfectly tailored blazer, they can help ensure your fit always leaves you comfortable and confident. On top of that, MN Network members receive an annual tailoring allowance to get your pieces tailored perfectly to you, because we know it makes all the difference.
Five Must-Haves for Your Power Dressing Capsule
Further maximizing your power wardrobe, you can also personalize your Husband Shirt with our Husband Shirt Builder. Choose your fabric from three different styles: classic poplin, cotton voile, or breezy linen for a more relaxed take, and then choose your favorite color. Accessorize it with customizable tuxedo studs to match whatever your mood is—from gunmetal to rose gold and beyond. Take the personalization a step further by adding an optional monogram to really seal the deal. It’s a power shirt that will stylishly take you from board meetings to Sunday brunch.
The bottom line? Power dressing means something different to all of us. Maybe you feel your most powerful in a sharp, tailored blazer, crisp white button-down, and the perfect slim fit trousers. Maybe it’s a soft loungewear set that makes you feel cozy, comfortable, and fully at ease with yourself. But regardless of what your style of power dressing is, the common denominator is that it’s all about wearing clothes that make you feel your best. Clothes that you can feel good about buying, clothes that you can feel good about wearing, and clothes that can elevate your life to new heights. That is where the real power lies—and we always hope to instill it into each and every piece we make here at Misha Nonoo.
