Have you noticed that there is something about dark clothes that makes you feel more elegant and sophisticated? This is perhaps because women are convinced that dark colors make us look thinner. Well, you’re not far from the truth. In fact, there are research findings stating that “wearing black clothing makes you appear more attractive, intelligent and confident.”

Research aside, dark outfits are perfect for long days – starting the day at the office and ending it at an evening event. In this case, you need to go for an outfit that isn’t too flashy for work, yet sleek for a party. The example below is an outfit I would wear on such occasion. Better yet, with Woolite Darks I don’t have to worry about my clothes or confidence ever fading!

To celebrate the confidence dark clothes give women, Woolite Darks partnered with Dress For Success to #ShareConfidence in a video campaign where a street style photographer captured women on the streets of New York donning dark clothes and exuding confidence. If you’d like to join the movement, please #ShareConfidence among each other one dark outfit at a time. After seeing the video myself, I feel not only confident but also empowered and inspired to pay it forward!
