C-suite clients are getting treatments to age themselves down, with a focus on looking energetic, young, and full of vitality. Plastic surgeons report a significant increase in demand for facial procedures among executives.

Ordering a custom suit is fairly common for this occasion. The process, in which a tailor or team of craftspeople produces a unique-to-you suit, can ensure a perfect fit and allows for intimate customization, but tends to take weeks and can be expensive.

In Japan, the way I dressed became one of the clearest lessons about work, credibility, and belonging. I quickly learned that even in casual offices, there are unspoken expectations.

Workplace noise isn't just a nuisance. It's also a stressor and productivity killer, according to a Jabra study from 2024. As someone who likes working in quiet zones, I understand. That's why I recommend leaders spend time considering how their workspace design affects the noise level for their employees.

Forcing people who work for you to give you and others presents is unethical. Appeal to your colleague's better instincts as an educator and discourage this practice immediately. As you are a colleague and not a subordinate, you are in a position to be able to appeal to this person's sense of equity.

In 2010, Bangkok was in crisis, and there was a series of huge demonstrations across the city. Supporters of the ousted prime minister wore red shirts. I remember going to meet a client and accidentally wearing a red top, and they commented on it even though I'm not Thai. I found out later that one of the client's properties had been burned down by the red-shirt protesters.

Laura and Todd, both journalists, had been out for an evening of drinks with colleagues following a particularly horrific day covering the news. Gradually, the herd had thinned out until it was just the two of them, alone at the bar near 3 a.m. with a sudden weight of sexual tension between them. They'd worked together for a couple of years at this point, and each had emerged from a relationship in their early 30s to be newly single.

I had a closet full of clothes, yet somehow nothing was right. Even three days a week felt like a lot of outfits compared to my previous zero. And unfortunately, I'm the kind of person whose mood is directly correlated to what I'm wearing. If my outfit doesn't make me feel like the most fashionable, put-together version of myself, my entire day is.... dare I say, ruined.

There are shifts in fashion that arrive without noise. They don't demand attention, yet they gradually reshape the way people dress with surprising clarity. The renewed presence of women's suits fits into this kind of quiet transformation. It isn't about looking back or reviving old dress codes. It reflects a growing appetite for clarity, intention and proportion - qualities that feel increasingly valuable in a moment defined by constant visual stimulation.
