AI tools are quick at putting an outfit together. They do not know the meeting you are dressing for. How to brief one properly, and where its judgment runs out.

Inside
  • The same brief, run by AI and by an image consultant
  • Prompts you can copy for real wardrobe decisions
  • Whether it is safe to upload wardrobe and body photos

The territory

Five subjects. Style is where the writing starts.

The other four already have short versions, as framework cards in the Resources library.

  1. Presence

    What a room decides about you before you say a word.

  2. Voice

    Pace, pitch and pause, and what they do to an argument.

  3. Self-image

    The gap between how you see yourself at work and how others see you.

  4. Visibility

    Why good work alone rarely gets noticed.

  5. Style

    Clothing as a working tool, for Indian offices and Indian weather.
