Dressing down—rather than up—is the new power move. When was the last time that you wore a pair of heels?
Remember the time—it wasn’t so long ago, really—when we were told by the arbiters of fashion that power dressing was never complete without vertiginous heels which would make us stand tall and proud as we navigated our work lives. Heels, we were assured, wouldn’t just improve our posture; they would embellish our status as power players as well, no matter which field we were competing in. They wouldn’t just add inches to our heights; they would burnish our images as polished professionals.
Wearing flats is a signal that you stand tall on your own professional achievements rather than a pair of stilettoes (Aparna Ram)
