I worked with a gentleman once. He was a tall, handsome, intelligent manhattanite. Very pleasant to communicate with. He told me a story of how he was wearing some very simple clothing after running in Central Park at lunch - sweat pants and a vest. Someone later mistook him for a delivery boy. And on the opposite end, when he wears a suit, he is treated like a total VIP.
Do not underestimate the power of presentation and projection of success.
- User23 4y agoI get treated strikingly different by virtually everyone I meet when I'm wearing a just run of the mill suit[1] than when I'm wearing casual clothes. It's worth noting though, that the basic suit is meant to be subdued and even many very nice suits[2] aren't exactly flashy, they just fit together perfectly and look like they were made for you. I do wonder how much the typical person can tell the difference nowadays. [1] From one of the online made to measure outfits for a few hundred bucks. [2] The kind where you get a lot of quality time with your tailor from the start to the end of the process. These will run you into four figures to start.
