Wear the thing that makes you feel like you, not the thing that makes the comments nicer.

Dressing for a reaction turns a daily choice into a small negotiation with people who are not in the room. It works, in the sense that the comments improve, and it costs the thing clothes are actually good for, which is feeling recognisably like yourself. The reaction fades within an hour. You wear the choice all day.

Pick one thing this week purely because you like it, without checking how it will read. Notice how you carry yourself in it. That difference is usually visible to other people as well.
