Dress for Success: How Fashion Choices Affect Your Productivity
Are you ready to excel at work, boost your productivity, and make fewer mistakes? Well, I've got some exciting insights that might just surprise you!
If you're looking to supercharge your energy and productivity, all you need to do is add these fabulous foods to your diet:
AVOCADO, BLUEBERRIES, WALNUTS, SALMON, DARK CHOCOLATE, BROCCOLI, EGGS, GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES, TURMERIC, and WATER.
Brain Food that will increase your PRODUCTIVITY
But here's the thing, there's more to success than just what you eat. What you wear plays a significant role too!
Did you know there's a captivating concept known as the "Psychology of Clothing"? Science even has a term for it - "enclothed cognition." It delves into how our clothing choices impact our behavior, attitudes, personality, mood, confidence, and even our interactions with others.
Allow me to introduce you to two intriguing studies:
In a groundbreaking study, researchers asked participants to don a lab coat and conducted a series of experiments. When participants believed it was a doctor's coat, they performed better on cognitive tests. Conversely, their performance suffered when they thought it was a painter's coat. This underscores how clothes systematically influence our psychological processes.
Psychology of clothing- “Enclothed Cognition”. In the original study scientists asked participants to wear a lab coat, and then performed a series of experiments. When told it was a doctor’s coat the participants did better on cognitive tests. But when they were told it was a painter’s coat, they did worse.
2. In a recent study, men were divided into two groups: those in suits and those in sweatpants. The results were astonishing, with the suited participants winning over $2 million in a simulated business deal experiment, while the sweatpants group ended up losing $1.2 million.

In today's world, where many people work from home, I understand the temptation to slip into old sweatpants, wear minimal makeup, and skip the perfume. However, I want to emphasize that dressing well isn't just for others; it's primarily for yourself. Scientific evidence confirms that when you dress smart and professional, you become more focused, make fewer mistakes, and find greater satisfaction in your work.
And if you're still not convinced that it can affect your productivity, let me ask you a question:
WHAT DO YOU WEAR DURING YOUR PMS OR THE TIME WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD MOOD AND YOU WANT TO BINGE EAT...?
Let me guess: probably a pair of dirty sweatpants and an oversized hoodie or jumper. You wear a messy ponytail and zero makeup. You're even tempted to skip the shower...
So you feel sad, bloated, probably unattractive, but at the same time, you're wearing gray clothes, old ones, you don't smell nice, and you have zero makeup while overeating... Interesting, isn't it?
Research says the quickest little fix for a bad day is to wear brightly colored clothes. What I personally do, and I encourage my clients to do, is to set high standards for yourself every single day!
Don't let your negative emotions and mood affect the way you feel about yourself, and don't let self-sabotage hold you back! Because you know what? It will affect your confidence and your productivity!
Keep those standards high, have clean hair, use perfumes every day, even if you work from home. Invest in good quality loungewear, soft materials. Dress nicely at home!
I absolutely adore SKIMS brand
And let's not forget the most important: UNDERWEAR! Underwear is something you wear every single day... And here's a question for you: Do you have some WHITE underwear that is not white anymore? It's turned gray or yellow, or it's overstretched? Well, my advice is simple: throw it away immediately! (No, you won't sell it on Vinted;P) Instead, invest in something new - especially if you often feel bloated (then focus on your diet). Go for high-waisted underwear, not shaping one - just high-waisted. You can't even imagine how it can change the way you experience bloating. It will definitely affect you less.
Here's a glimpse of my favorite underwear from Boux Avenue.
So, hopefully, now you see the importance of how you dress every single day - even the choice of your pajamas can affect your mood, energy, productivity, and the way you see yourself.
So, why not combine this super healthy diet with an empowering outfit for your daily work? You'll become an unstoppable force, radiating confidence and success.
