💼 The Hidden Pay Gap in Your Wardrobe

Here’s something you might not know:
✨ Women can earn twice as much when they dress professionally.
✨ Men still earn 15–18% more when they wear suits.

The numbers are clear first impressions aren’t just social, they’re financial.

As someone who works with C-level leaders, I see this daily. Your wardrobe can be your most powerful leadership tool… or it can quietly hold you back.

So before you rush to buy new-season pieces, try these two simple tweaks that make an immediate difference:

✨ 1. Elevate your everyday
Lay out tomorrow’s outfit the night before. It takes the stress out of mornings and helps you start the day with intention.

✨ 2. Polish with ease
Not into a full face of makeup? A tinted moisturiser and a swipe of lip gloss add instant polish without fuss.

✨ 3. Add a signature accessory
Choose one piece a watch, bold necklace, or silk scarf that instantly pulls your look together and becomes part of your personal brand.

✨ 4. Perfect your fit
Even the most expensive outfit looks off if it doesn’t fit well. A simple trip to a tailor can make high-street pieces look couture.

✨ 5. Create a go-to formula
Find one silhouette that always makes you feel confident (e.g. sharp blazer + tailored trouser + statement shoe) and make it your fail-safe uniform for busy mornings.

And if you’re a C-level leader, this is your reminder: your image is not an afterthought. It’s part of your influence, your credibility, your presence.

I’ve opened two September client spots for leaders ready to align their wardrobe with their ambition. If that’s you, hit reply I’d love to hear from you.

Here’s to showing up at your full value,
