“Clothes maketh the Man” has been the famous saying which became popular from the 16th Century. And when it comes to being perked up in a well cut suit,  it better make you look beyond “dapper”. Power dressing has always been the real meat for me in my closet. https://hertintedcloset.com/2019/04/21/power-up-in-suits/

1. Power Up in Suits!!!

2. Power Dressing is SIMPLY SEXY:
“Clothes maketh the Man” has been the famous saying which became popular from the 16th Century. And
when it comes to being perked up in a well cut suit, it better make you look beyond “dapper”.Power dressing has
always been the real meat for me in my closet. It has so much to say with those fine cuts. It defines your persona
and gives a no nonsense vibe. It defines your determined outlook towards life.
Power dressing is classy and reflects a personality of a person, potent with style, discipline, vision, integrity,
responsibility, grace and character. Power dressing has always been used by men and women to dignify
themselves and their positions, in the field of their work. Power dressing sets the tone for an individual to
be treated in a respectable manner. Wearing a well cut suit is like a silent command to others to deliver
their best and be treated with a sense of clout.

3. “Suiting up” has a lot to do with how you feel about yourself. The way one carries one’s suit, is a real art of
displaying grace and grandeur.
In 1870’s Actress Sarah Bernhardt scandalized Paris by wearing a “custom made suit”. It liberated women and they
wore these suits for riding, walking and outdoor activities. These “Boy Clothes” became the place of salvation for
women.
Gabriella Coco Chanel gifted the world with “Timeless Suits” in the year 1914 that gave women a sense of freedom and
power among men.
Women took to Pant – Suit in the 1920’s with “hats” and looked exclusive.
Katherine Hepburn supported the masculine look with much oomph and resplendence. She was called “The First Lady
Of Menswear”. She also supported power shoulders during the 1930’s, proving she was far sighted with her “rebellious
fashion sense”.
The “hulky” shoulders were loved by the most glamorous women of the time like Joan Crawford, Ann Blyth, Audrey
Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie wood, etc. were all seen in the dynamic “waist hugging suits”.

4. And the trend continued to spark the fashion scene for decades. Even today, I run to my blazers if I want
that edge over other outfits. I wear the blazers on torn denims, pants, skirts, dresses and shorts.A well cut jacket
or even a loose style suit gives you much eminence to make heads turn.
From Royal Women to the professionals all have looked spectacular in their outfits in the 1980’s. Princess Diana was
immaculately dressed in them making “power dressing” a phenomenon.

6. “Power dressing” was a phrase originally used in the 1970’s in America and by the 1980’s everyone was wearing
the debonair outfit. Tailored Jackets, shoulder pads, tapered pants and slim cut skirts were the coolest innovation.
The look was at it’s peak when Michael Jackson wore a “suit” in his famous song “Smooth Criminal” in 1988.The
famous movie “Working Girl” gave a new sense of being to women evolving with a “fearless demeanour” in the 80’s.

8. Many women in the political scenario fell in love with the empowering sets. Jacqueline Kennedy was a
benchmark of grace and her streamlined suits were marvellously worn with pearls and hats. Margaret
Thatcher, Hillary Clinton etc. have adorned suits with much sophistication as well.
And the trend continued to spark the fashion scene for decades. In the present scenario they have made a
gallant come back with bold prints and cuts. They are being worn to every occasion. From formal to casual,
now suits are worn with a pair of heels and cool sneakers as well. Depends on how you want to look.
Remember the very talented singer, Lady Gaga recently wore an oversized suit to the Elle Magazine’s Women in
Hollywood Event. She looked endearing!!!
I can never forget a picture of Eva Mendes flaunting her well toned curves in a perfectly tailored suit. She looked
beyond vivacious. The saying less is more – Well in this case – more is certainly leaving the world restless !
Sneakers worn with suits look urban, cool yet affirmative and desirable. With super formal suits like mine
one can choose to also wear flat shoes or white sneakers and stand apart.
Brands like D&G, Sandro, Kooples, Topshop, Zara, Marc Jacobs, Whistles, Balmain, Alexander McQueen, Givenchy,
Marina Rinaldi, Elisabetta Franchi, Mango, La Vie Rebbeca Taylor, Nordstrom, ASOS etc. have some great collection
of suits that one check out.

9. My black Tux looks rather sexy and sophisticated. I love this suit for its confident, charming, suave vibe. It
fits me like a glove and also is beautifully designed with detailing on the pants and jacket . An outfit like this

10. fits me like a glove and also is beautifully designed with detailing on the pants and jacket . An outfit like this
one is enough to make you feel nothing less than a bond girl.
I am absolutely in love with the “Pink Suit” I am wearing. I styled it all formal with pearls and heels. This
outfit looks spectacular when worn to any formal event. From shows, events, promotions, parties to after
parties you will look charismatic and stunningly poised. One can carry a classic Chanel bag or a simple bag
that adds to the simplicity of the outfit with a fresh and minimalistic make up and let your personality
shine through it.
I feel a “suit” allows you to be “UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOURSELF”!!!
So grab yours this season and flatter your senses!!

As the year 2017 came to an end, we welcomed 2018 with new energies, inhaling positivity and
exhaling all that does not serve our greater good .......this year is the one of transformations and brilliant
achievements. I am most excited to write on my fashion blog - "Her Tinted Closet". I pondered for days to
find the right name for my baby blog. I loved the name because it reflects my personality - with many
shades and stories to share. Love for fashion was instilled in me ever since I started recognising the
magic of uniting the right combinations. An attire can create a spell, if they are perfectly put together. As a
child, I would team up outfits innovatively and look beyond the ordinary. From being a fashion
connoisseur, and a model, I ventured into the equity world and gained insights into business. I am also a
trained actor and have acted in plays and short films. Being a spiritual seeker - I am also into healing. This
has changed my vibe as a human being and has made me understand the power of a human mind and
energy. Chic Styling has been a part of my personality.....My ultimate fashion icons have been Cindy
Crawford, Latetia Casta, Gisele Bundchen, Claudia Schiffer, Monica Bellucci. Style is just never about
brands alone, but how you bring out the best, by embracing yourself, keeping fit and understanding your
body and styling it with a fabulous ensemble of fabric and accessories. My love for fitness has always
inspired me to push limits to achieve higher goals. I believe that one's physical, emotional and spiritual self
