What do your clothes say about you?
This has come up over and over on this forum--we may as well consolidate the answers.
Some people believe clothing says nothing about you, some believe it says everything. What do you think?

I don't think the clothes a person wears says a thing about them.
I think that what people think about the clothes a person wears says a lot about them.

I don't believe that people have to follow trends or spend a lot of money, but I do believe that how you present yourself to the world says a lot about you. People who dress solely for comfort and look sloppy are saying, "I don't care" and that's fine, but then they shouldn't be suprised when I don't hire them or date them or patronize their business.

My clothes say, "I'm poor". I like to look and dress nice, but I can't afford it right now. I haven't bought anything new since I can't remember.

Good. I hope you are in the same business that I am. You go weeding out potential good employees due to things that are unrelated to the job and leave the talented ones in t-shirts to me. |

Exercising good judgment, attention to basic details, and respect for social norms are ALWAYS part of any job. |

Agreed.
What does that have to do with clothing? |

I refuse to believe that you're this dense. You're only making yourself look foolish. |

In answer to the OP, within the constraints of my budget, I *try* to convey that I am responsible, sophisticated, educated, and have good taste and a sense of modesty and decorum. Whether or not I always succeed is another matter.  |
