I used to have to testify in court a lot, so how I looked would really have an impact on my credibility with a judge. I think I've always known that clothing is really powerful and that people make judgments about who you are based on what you're wearing, and for me, in my earlier career, which involved the fields of social welfare and being a professor, I was always very cognizant of how I dressed and where I was going. How had your style played a role in your career? Has it opened or closed any doors for you? Or has it evolved as a result of your career? It's always changing because the world is changing, and the way that I get dressed, or how I decide what to wear, is really based on my identity and who I might want to be today.ĭia Dipasupil/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The word I use is evolving, because my style is not static. I have a piece that I've been wearing this winter that I just feel really powerful and really confident in, and it's a very beautiful, rust colored, oversized coat that's like a big bathrobe. I usually only own pieces that make me feel confident, because that's how I think about fashion. What piece instantly makes you feel confident? It's this attitude that makes her and her style so inspiring. You come away not with a desire to impulsively buy the same items she is wearing, but instead to search your own closet for pieces that elicit the same feelings of appreciation.

Take one look at her blog, Accidental Icon - which has been so successful since she started it in 2014 that she plans to leave her career in academia to focus on it full time later this year. In stark contrast to the world of fast fashion, which is driven by the constant consumption of garments, 65-year-old Slater strives to accurately reflect her inner self through what she wears.
What makes New York-based professor and Accidental Icon fashion blogger Lyn Slater's relationship with fashion so fascinating is the profound thoughtfulness of her approach.
