How To Instantly Lose Credibility

Nancy, Wardrobe Wizard

Have you ever gone to an event and ended up talking to someone whose blouse or shirt was too tight?

Did you find this distracting?

Earlier this year I went to a women’s networking event. I joined a conversation of two other women and ended up talking to a “20 something woman,” who was a graphic artist.

The only thing I can remember about this young graphic artist was the blouse she was wearing.

It was too tight.

Horizontal creases had formed over her bust area and the buttons down the front of her blouse were so strained they looked like they were about to pop open.

My eyes kept being drawn back to those “about to pop buttons.”

She had unknowingly created a focal point with the strained buttons and the horizontal creases of her shirt. I was looking for a graphics artist, but this young woman’s appearance kept me from trusting her.

I never told her I was looking for a graphics person.

My automatic thought was “If she isn’t willing to take the time to put on clothing that fits her, she is not going to take the time to do good graphic work.”

She had managed to “instantly discredit herself,” by wearing clothing that was was too tight.

Wondering what will give you instant credibility? Here are some suggestions.

1.Wear three layers.

This means a jacket or vest over a shirt or blouse. (This will make you look more authoritative and if the jacket or vest follows your body line it can hide figure challenges.)

If you have a defined waistline choose a jacket or vest with vertical darts. If you do not have a defined waistline choose a jacket without darts that is not fitted.

2. For a more “relaxed,” jacket look, use a cardigan or an unbuttoned blouse over a shell top.

3. Before you leave the house look in a full-length mirror and make sure your face and eyes are the focus point.

4. Wear clothing that fits you, not too tight and not too loose.

Wondering what else you can do to increase your visual credibility?

No matter what your age, size or shape is, you can look your most attractive and credible by understanding how to use color and proportion.
