Dress Ethics
Apparel speaks about the wearer
The consciousness of being well dressed
heightens your self-respect and increases your self-confidence. An inquiry was
sent by a psychologist to a large group of people, asking about the impression
clothes made on them. It was unanimously testified that when they were well
groomed and faultlessly attired, the knowledge and the feeling of it, brought
them increased faith in themselves; heightened their self-respect. They declared
that when they had the look of success they found it easier to think success, to
achieve success. Such is the effect of clothes on wearer himself.
What effect
do you have on an audience? If you groom yourself in a baggy trousers, shapeless
coat, dust laden shoes, fountain pen and pencils peeping out of your breast
pocket, a newspaper striking out of your sides and a greasy hat over your head –
an audience will have little respect for you, as you have for himself. Such
disharmony in personal appearance looms up like Pike's Peak from the plains.
