Got a promotion? Moving into leadership? Or just ready to elevate your look?
This week on Make It You, Tannya shares how to shift from business casual to business professional with confidence and authenticity.
Here’s the quick rundown 👇
1. Know the Difference
Business casual = relaxed polish.
Business professional = structured, confident, leadership-ready.
→ Action: Add structure. That’s what signals “next level.”
2. Invest in Essentials
Start small. Add a few quality upgrades:
Tailored blazer
Well-fitted trousers
Silky top or crisp button-down
Closed-toe shoes
Clean, structured bag
→ Action: Begin with one great outfit. Build from there.
3. Shop Smarter
Prioritize fit and fabric. Tailor where needed.
Stick to neutrals + one accent color for personality.
→ Action: Fit = confidence. Quality = longevity.
4. Dress for Where You’re Going
It might feel uncomfortable at first, but showing up polished builds credibility and confidence.
