Akin Faminu shares the mastery of 'power dressing' and how to nail the double breasted suit perfect.
In a new edit he shares with Pulse, the style enthusiast, blogger and stylist talks power dressing and what your style says about you. "The concept of ‘power dressing’ feels obsolete in this day and age. Some people would argue that 21st-century power dressing is wearing what you want: you’re so rich and important that nobody’s going to call you on it. But nobody’s going to respect you for it either. If you actively want to wear bad clothes, what does that say about you?" Faminu says.
He continues, "true power dressing is about demonstrating mastery, not flaunting your wealth or peacocking. It’s showing that you know how to play by the rules, and bend them to your will. It’s knowledge of what’s appropriate: not dressing like a teenager when you’re the boss, or ‘for the job you want’ when you’re still on coffee duty. Because knowledge, after all, is power.
For today's editorial, I'll be focusing on some of the precepts of contemporary power dressing – Let's start with the DOUBLE BREASTED SUIT.
Whoever decided less is more clearly hadn’t considered the jacket. Not to knock single-breasted blazers, but in the being-the-best-dressed-man-in-the-room stakes, two breasts are definitely better than one.
A double breasted takes styling skill, confidence and a perfect fit to pull off, which is why not many try. It’s a subtle but has an unmistakable flex that stands out just enough in the stuffiest boardroom – or trendiest ‘breakout space’. DBs are beloved of contrary fashion types, precisely because they have a reputation for being difficult.
A double breasted is also literal power dressing; it adds visual heft to your upper body. perfection right? Another Precept would be Footwear .. GOOD, CLEAN FOOTWEAR. They say good shoes take you to good places, from personal experience, this is not an idiom, it can actually be literal.
