 Evolution of Power Dressing
This term has been used since the late 1970s and
reflected the clothing styles favoured in business and
politics in the US and UK throughout the 1980s. The style
was heavily influenced by influential women who were in
the news at the time
The term 'power dressing' is first recorded in the New
York paper The Post-Standard, September 1979:
"The accent has shifted to glamour and power dressing
for the city rather than the casual look of past seasons."
