English term or phrase: make a statement
É um curso voltado a executivos, e aqui fala um pouco sobre a questão das roupas usadas no trabalho.

I may not have showed up for work every day in an Armani suit but I always had a designer purse that showed the other executives I had arrived.
A high quality accessory makes a statement and takes the pressure off of the rest of your wardrobe.

Tenho algumas possibilidades em mente, mas gostaria muito da opinião dos colegas.
Obrigado!
