Dress for Success

            It’s often been stated that clothes make a person. Our choice of clothing carries out a certain message to people around us. For example, if one wears yoga pants to their work place, it’s not only unethical, but it also shows the people around the person that the said person isn’t serious about their job. Now, one can argue that it’s about the comfort level and that it shouldn’t determine how hard a person works, however, unfortunately we live in a society that judges us based on our physical appearance more than anything. No matter how talented or experienced you are, those two things will not always be factored in to get you the job you desire.

There’s more to just being smart at your job. One who is dressed in suit and tie is more likely to be taken seriously when compared to someone dressed in a T-shirt. Our appearance often speaks for us, it tells those around us who we are, and how we are as a person. Furthermore, it tells those around us as to how we view ourselves, the self image we hold. Our appearances not only make an impression on people, but they also contribute to the idea of how confident you are about yourself and what you can bring forth to your work place. If you’re confident, you’re more likely to be successful.
