Resolutions, goal setting, yada, yada, yada…it’s hard not to feel the pang of high expectations in January. But in order to mitigate end-of-the-year disappointment in 2024, I made a vow to switch my attention from outputs to inputs—focusing on the things that I can control—like my wardrobe. Hear me out. As a senior shopping writer at Vogue, I literally spend a minimum of eight hours a day thinking about clothes. While your shopping routine might not be as rigorous as mine, I’m sure you put some thought into what you put on each day—after all, you’re here, right. So why not use the act of getting dressed as a sartorial weapon to attract the things we want most? Let’s declare 2024 as the year of manifestation dressing.
If you’re dreaming about that CEO title—like I am—or simply seeking some R&R while basking in your soft-life era, it’s time to harness the power of clothes to turn the dial of your life to the channel your heart desires. I’m going back in time and reviving those power suits worn by businesswomen in the ’80s—a source of major inspiration for Saint Laurent’s last fall collection. Of course, every look doesn’t have to be so literal. I’ve been wearing my sharp-shouldered blazers with effortlessly cool baggy jeans and elevated black leggings. After all, not only are we unleashing main character energy this year, but we are also the author of this story, which means we can remix it however we see fit.
With the help of some of our favorite style stars, ahead discover a few clever ways to nail manifestation dressing in 2024.
