The way you look sometimes reflects how you feel and if you look powerful you probably are powerful. Certain colors are more powerful than others, such as black.

You must be thinking about "Dress for Success". Certain people who dress well -- and conservatively -- are given more credibility and defernce by the public.
Making the right impression at work isn't hard if you keep in mind three basic points when buying clothes for the office:
1. Presentation counts.
2. Casual shouldn't mean slovenly.
3. Dress as you want to be seen: Serious, professional, upward-bound and ready to meet clients.
If your office has a written dress code, your problems are solved, and you can dress cookbook-style. If necessary, go shopping with the dress code in hand and pluck appropriate stuff from the rack. But many offices don't have written standards, and it's up to you to get it right. So, here's a rule of thumb: Understated elegance beats flash and trash five days a week.
For women, the traditional look includes:
—A skirt that hits just above the knee, slacks and perhaps pantsuits.
—Simple jewelry.
—Just a hint of makeup. Skip the perfume, especially during a job interview or the first few days at a new job. If you use perfume thereafter, go easy on the saucy splash behind the ears, because you can bet that some grump or hyper-sensitive soul will complain bitterly about headache, nausea or a general outbreak of the fantods. (See " How To Work For An Idiot.")
—Polished flats or moderate heels.
—Sweaters.
—Pantyhose may be the office standard. Ask.
Keep an eye out for regional differences; what's standard in the Northeast may be seen as stuffy and impractical in the Southwest.
