There is a lot of soul searching in your life that the world is never going to see. And this is fine, as you need to keep some degree of mystery in your life. But there are some things that the world is going to see every day, whether you like it or not. And one of the most glaring things that you are bound to show the world is what you are wearing every day, and how you are wearing it. After all, you just never know who might be somewhere that you could go today — and that person might have the opportunity of a life time waiting for you, if you are properly prepared for the situation.

Let’s face facts. How you look is how you are going to be judged in life. If you dress like the kind of person who simply does not care about how you look, people will suspect that you do not care about a bunch of other aspects of your life. Among these are your health (and bathing) habits, your personality (maybe you’re an untreated bipolar or something, for all they know), and how you run the general business aspects of your life. And of course, the exact opposite is also true.

If you roll up into a situation sporting a really great hair cut, with everything lined up really well, and you rock a set of designer clothes, people are going to naturally treat you with more respect than they will if you have the “street vagrant chic” look going on. Status is an incredibly important part of all of human culture — and a significant part of your status is determined both by how you look, and by how you carry yourself in social situations. And when you stand tall, are well maintained and wear good clothes, the world will respect you more.
