If you don’t see yourself as a winner then you can’t perform as a winner.- Brian Tracy
It doesn’t matter whether you wear formal attire or smart business causal, what matter is “how” you have worn them. Choosing the right colour, the right fabric, the right fit, the right style and the right code of dressing are important. These are the elements that must be understood and taken into consideration every single day before you step out for work. You need to ask yourself: what message do i want to communicate through my clothing today?
Formal, functional or casual?
Authoritative, approachable or adventurous?
Attractive, authentic or amiable?
Clothing demonstrates your beliefs, values, attitude, culture and so many more messages. Dressing well has a direct impact on your self-confidence, which then impacts your performance at work. Besides getting positive attention from people around you, dressing well also conveys that you are mindful about your self-presentation and hence also about your work. It’s about having respect for self and others.
