4 Financial & Psychological reasons why you should dress well in business

Jun 08, 2023

To increase your chances of success in your business and career, it's essential to dress well.

People see you first before they hear what you have to say. I once got a sales training in a company because the CEO said “Paul the reason why i gave you this job is because you dress exactly how you dress on instagram’’

Here are four psychological and financial reasons why.

Firstly, the power of the first impression cannot be understated. People judge you based on your appearance before you even speak, so it's vital to make a positive impression. Dress well and create a lasting one. Dressing well also reveals what you stand for, that you're orderly, and conscientious. The book of Matthew said “ He that has more will be given to him. he that does not have even the little he has will be taken away from him” When you dress will you send out a message that you have and that attracts more opportunities your way.

Secondly, the power of enclothed cognition affects the way you feel, and it's been proven that when you dress well, your confidence and intelligence increase. This newfound confidence can lead to better results and more opportunities. Dressing well creates a positive cycle that leads to success. Recent research proved that by wearing what felt like a Doctor’s coat, the IQ of the people that wore it improved.

Thirdly, the halo effect shows that people transfer one aspect of you to other aspects of your life. If you dress well, people connect your appearance with your ability to deliver on promises and get things done. This transfer of qualities means that dressing well has wider benefits beyond just appearance.

Lastly, dressing well attracts the opposite sex and helps you stand out in social situations. Women are attracted to well-dressed men, just as men are attracted to women who dress well. In conclusion, dressing well is a powerful psychological tool that can help you achieve success in all areas of your life. Dress for the job you want, not the one you have!
