Businesswoman's "yes dress". Weak. And tattoo as "power item"?
We had an upwardly-mobile factory girl who used the company's diversity/sensitivity money-pit as a stepping stone to an office job. She became a "facilitator" for a while and bared her soul monthly in the plant manager's large, semi-private, off-site, three-day seminars. Actually mentioned enjoying the personal distinction that the large, colorful, "tramp stamp" tatoo on her lower back and higher buttocks gave her. The stamp did seem to act as a counterweight to the stretch marks that often peeked out from under the front of her designer tee shirts, so maybe that was part of why.

Is the Lewinsky method for promotion still in vogue?

I think a man dresses for success by attempting to look professional and polished.
A woman dresses for success by focusing on how to look POWERFUL or perhaps AUTHORITATIVE or even SEXY.
I guess I'm just biased, but I think "professional and polished" is a superior way forward.

NO!
But power suit dressing is real. Watch the politicians and newsmen. Dark suits usually. Used to be dark suit, white shirt, red tie.

Women still get by on their looks and appearing non-threatening to men. They can be very manipulative to get what they want. Disregard what you see in the prime time soaps - in real life women view other women as competitors, not as colleagues to gossip workplace and relationship stuff with during lunch breaks.

Power dressing? Well, there WERE a few I wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley.

Actually a woman is never more powerful than with nothing on. {:-)

I love it when my wife has to go to an important meeting with vendors and would be customers.
She let’s me lay out her attire. [winky-winky}

>> “What do you wear that makes you feel powerful?”
I can’t speak for wimmin folk.
But when I pick that ol’ tee shirt up off the floor and pull it on for the third or fourth day straight, Mrs. Tick swears it makes me “powerful”.
She says that when she gets close to me it about makes her swoon!
(...well, she says “pass out”, not “swoon”. But same difference.)
