Dressing well, dressing up and dressing smart all mean different things, but there is nothing like dressing for success. Dressing for success is one of the easiest things any person can do. Wearing proper clothing for a job interview or wearing the right clothes for work can make or break anyone’s impression of you.
In today’s society, appearance matters. Whether it is for a date, school, work, or anything in between, appearance carries value.
Tyler Schmall of SWNS Digital claims that recent studies show it takes only thirty seconds to leave a first impression. Thus, finding the best way to display yourself for 30 seconds can be integral to one’s success in any number of endeavors.
As Tony Soprano once said, “Those who want respect, give respect.” Dressing well will leave people around you with a new sense of respect for you. Someone who is dressed for success can easily command respect than those who do not.
According to Forbes, “First impressions based on appearance are what drive many hiring managers, HR teams and executives to favor a particular applicant over others.”
While critics of this quote will say it enables hiring managers to disqualify candidates based on looks, it should be noted that looking the part only proves some suitability for candidates, rather than a good relationship with the hiring manager. Dressing well merely shows employers that if a candidate cares for something as mundane as their appearance, then they likely will display a careful attitude towards their work.
Some may not have the ability to dress well as they do not have the money for a new, designer shirt, or a fancy skirt. A solution to this issue could be thrift stores, as they are filled with clean, professional clothes that can enhance appearances. Dressing well on a budget is not impossible, and the possibilities are endless with a great selection of resources to choose from— take no look further than FGCU’s own initiative, Azul’s Attire.
Formal events all have their dress codes, with some having a color requirement, or having a requirement for ties, themes, or styles.
After the clothing options are figured out, one’s hygiene is another important detail. A clean, well-kept person has a great outward appearance compared to a disheveled individual. Showering and grooming oneself is important in the upkeep of a person even before the event should be considered.
Conducting oneself professionally will also help. A sheen of consummate professionalism really will give your first impression a big boost. Using professional language, standing up straight, and looking good will give great first impressions on everyone you meet.
The importance of dressing well does not stop at job fairs or formal events. Dressing well leaves a positive impact on those around you, as well as displaying a professional or formal appearance. Dress to impress may be more than a Roblox game; it is a great way to improve one’s professional profile and can be the key to a successful life.
