Power suiting continues to be a relatively controversial topic yet remains extremely popular in the fashion scene. Chanel introduced the very first female suit in 1904, however it only became a popular trend in the early 80’s. One of the main purposes of power dressing was to diminish female sexuality in order to gain authority and respect equal of a man in the workplace. The public opinion on power suiting has since been completely divided. The feminists aimed to eradicate all gender specific clothing from the industry because they believed femininity was not needed to define a woman. The counterargument, however, supports the idea that female clothing can be just as powerful because its ours to own. But that was then and we are currently entering an age of gender neutral clothing and cross dressing, which is great in my opinion.
