Here’s something I’ve learned working with women of influence, entrepreneurs, and executives: clothing is your first form of non-verbal communication. Before you speak, you’ve already told the world something about yourself.

When you embrace modest style:
o You shift focus to your presence and words, not just your body.
o You project authority, because you look like a woman who doesn’t need to compete for attention.
o You signal self-respect, and in turn, invite others to respect you.

It’s no accident that many of the most powerful women in history dressed in restraint, yet their images are iconic decades later. They understood that style is not about exposure—it’s about expression.
