LIVE: Why You Should Get Dressed Every Day

Happy Monday! During this LIVE want to briefly discuss why you should get dressed every day . In our new normal you’re working from home in your most casual attire or you may be back in the office with the dress code being much more casual, maybe even to the point that the boss is letting everyone wear jeans and a basic top. I’ve talked to many women lately that feel unsure of how they should be dressing. Being in their sweats working from home has become a habit since the pandemic and they’re surrounded by people at work who are extremely casual now because the workplace may not be completely back to normal. These circumstances have made many women just feel confused when it comes to getting dressed. So today I want to give my top reasons why it’s important to get dressed each day no matter the circumstance.

But before we dive in, I’ll give you a quick introduction, I’m Emmaline Chappell and I’m a certified personal stylist. I have my own company called emmaline’s personal styling. I help busy women elevate their style by discovering a new way of dressing to look luxe for less.

Today, I want to give a few reasons why you should get dressed each day.

Reason one: it grounds you. It’s a daily routine that you can count on and with how up in the air everything else is feeling in your life right now, just having that structure of getting dressed each day is very impactful .

Reason two: it’ll increase your productivity. This is very true and I’ve witnessed this for myself. Because you’re getting dressed with the intention to look presentable, that’s signaling to your brain that it’s time to get work done. When you’re wearing your sweats, your brain is in a more relaxed state, making it harder to get your tasks done.

Reason three: it simply and truly makes you feel better about yourself. I can’t put it in any other way. Making the effort each day to put on an outfit that is presentable does something to you as an individual. You’re affirming to yourself that you deserve to look and feel your best. Because of our new-normal, I think we’ve forgotten the simple joy that a nice outfit can bring. And getting dressed can guarantee that you’ll get to experience that daily dose of feeling good about you. You are important and deserve to show up for yourself.

Reason four: it’s setting you apart from the crowd. There’s a lot of people who have forgotten what it’s like to get dressed and are living in loungewear. But if you continue to practice getting dressed each day, it keeps you ahead of the style game, keeps you present and ready for when life and the workplace is back to normal. There will come a time where being our sweats won’t be acceptable anymore and the people that have been in their loungewear uniform on rotation won’t know what to do. You’ll be that woman strutting down the street confident in her look. That’s what getting dressed each day will do.

Those are my top reasons to get dressed each day. And when I say get dressed, it does not have to be a head-to-toe super business formal attire. Even something as simple as a button up top, nice fitting jeans, a pair of fun shoes and a little bit of jewelry. That counts as getting dressed because it’s a presentable, put together and isn’t too casual. If you can sleep in your outfit, then it doesn’t count as getting dressed.
