Fashion – Dressed to Kill
No matter how many university degrees and titles someone has beside their name, the old saying goes that “first impressions count”. It is a proven fact that when you first meet someone, within the first 30 seconds, they have formed a flickering opinion about you based on information, they are receiving, some verbal, and some not verbal. The non-verbal information that you are sending is just as important than the verbal. Much of the non-verbal information can tell a lot about a person, like their character, self-esteem and self-discipline.
If you iron your clothes well, polish your shoes well, and are well-groomed, most people would portray that as having self-pride, high self-esteem and discipline. Make an effort to be well-dressed and groomed when going to a job interview or to a business meeting, or just out in public. Make this extra effort will make sure the non-verbal information that you are sending out is a positive first impression and not a negative one. Give yourself every chance of success in this world and always dress to impress. Never be under dressed, as there is no such thing as being overdressed.
I totally agree with your comment! One must always present themselves in the best way they can as first impressions do count.
This does not mean you have to wear a $5,000.00 dollar tailor-made suit, $1,000.00 dollar tie and a pair of Louis Vuitton business shoes. It’s not about designer brands and whats “in” at the moment…
It’s all about knowing what works for you and your body type, the message you want to send out and do not be afraid to add personality to your overall outfit!
