Well dressed = Well deserved?

Some time back at the monthly Townhall , apart from the unnecessary but important team building lessons and news we were introduced to our new Vice President – Operations. Expecting a geek-looking gym deprived person (let's blame it on his busy schedule and not his will . We all have been there ) , I took out my phone and started swiping left and right aimlessly. As the new VP walked over to the podium the applause grew louder.

 Right in front of us stood a man who captivated all of us in seconds. He commanded the stage and our attention and applause seemed like his birthright. We were impressed and mesmerized. After the town hall, while all the girls swore to have 100% attendance in Town-hall then onwards and boys started incorporating his style in their disposure , I was wondering what was in him which made him so confident and worthy of our praises.

He was not the most handsome we had around but there was a striking appeal to the way he had dressed. He wasn't wearing anything fancy like Lady Gaga or super expensive like Harvey Specter. The common factors from his well combed and kept hair to his shining shoes were appropriateness and suitability. It well suited him and was appropriate for the workplace.

They say the first impression is the last impression and for any job interview , meeting or date , all people see and make opinions about you are from the way you look.

Having said that it doesn't mean that people with mirror cracking looks and supermodel bodies are the only ones who make a good impression . Going by that it would, however, mean that only 10% of the world's population would make and everlasting impression in their first meeting. That's not the case, however . Its the way you dress up and carry yourself is what makes all the difference. In an office environment, however, it becomes essential to dress professionally and neatly. You should retire your Justin Beiber and John Snow looks from the work-space . The ill fitted ground kissing denim should be done away with too.

A well-groomed person attracts attention and therefore more opportunities. Moreover , it isn't just for attracting other's attention that it is important to dress diligently . A well-kept personality including trimmed beard , combed and not dropping -on -the -forehead hair , well fitted and appropriate clothes and accessories boost your confidence and is, of course, necessary for your own health and well-being. It instigates a moral boost and you reach out for things you think you deserve , you realize your potential and end up attracting success. That is after all that we work for.
