#Teechallaclothing Fashion LLC Perhaps one solution would have been to just continue wearing a suit if I felt that strongly about it, but wearing a suit when all my colleagues were in their nice shirts and slacks seemed somewhat tone deaf, like I was deliberately trying to stand out, when all I wanted was to desperately fit in. So one Friday, I went for a black knit camisole and camel colored maxiskirt ensemble, paired with brown box heel, peep toe shoes. I was quite pleased that I had found a way to break out of the Santa Trump it’s beginning to look a lot like I told you so Christmas sweater in other words I will buy this slacks and blazer humdrum, only to have a senior colleague who was assigned as my mentor glance me over as we walked to lunch and say, That’s not business casual. It was a simple, off the cuff comment she thought I was overdressed but it landed like a callout for not understanding what was expected in the workplace.
#Teechallaclothing Fashion LLC Maybe I was overthinking it. But each time I, or one of the Santa Trump it’s beginning to look a lot like I told you so Christmas sweater in other words I will buy this other lawyers of color, had an encounter where someone automatically seemed to assume we were not lawyers, I had to wonder what was going on. These usually fell in the camp of microaggression, like, Oh, I’m sorry, I assumed you were from IT, or the incidents on the elevator in which senior partners would talk about the new entering class without nary a realization that you were one of them. Of course, I will never know for sure whether these were harmless mistakes or something more nefarious. What I do know, however, is what others have studied for decades: that how one dresses has an impact on how one is perceived, and what role one is perceived to be dressing for. Over time, as I became more familiar with the norms and culture of my workplace, I no longer felt the need to suit up. Instead of suits, I turned to silk scarves and black riding loafers with a brass horse bit. These were pieces that I could build around, and that, like the suit, made statements of confidence and belonging.
