“Take care of your costume and your confidence will take care of itself.” ― Amit Kalantri
The first impression is the last impression goes the saying and it is precisely so. People’s early impressions of us as students typically reveal a lot about who we are. The first thing we do as soon as we meet a person is observe how they have dressed up. A person’s dressing sense speaks volumes about their personality as well.
Hence, dressing well is the best opportunity for creating a desirable first impression. As soon as we look at a person, we check out how they have dressed up for it directly reflects their personality. This does not imply that a student must constantly have a wonderful sense of style, but rather that your clothing choices should reflect something of your individuality. Besides, it plays a major role in your personality development.
Students clothing choices reveal their personality, body language, and sense of style. Also, our dressing sense makes us physically and personally attractive. Beauty is not limited to skin color, height, and weight but includes how you adorn yourself. The way you dress as a student can either make you the center of attention or just another passing lamp post.
So, which is more vital, personality or dressing sense? The first thing that counts is how students are dressed because it is the initial impression you create. Meanwhile, by dressing in what suits you and not by merely copying other people’s styles, you reveal your personality. Essentially, personality and dressing sense go together and are the two faces of the same coin.
Students should be aware of their personal style and be clear about it. Too tight or very loose-fitting clothes are a bad thing because they can shatter your personality. Shabby dressing sense represents a shabby mind and a disorganized life. However, wearing neatly ironed clothes reveals the person to be organized and in control.
Here are some points on the psychology behind dressing well:
- Since dressing sense speaks about our personality it also increases the likelihood of meeting and bonding with like-minded people.
- Dressing well builds self-confidence. Students’ clothing choices reflect their self-assurance.
- Wearing something classy and comfortable makes you feel good and comfy about yourself. Wearing decent comfortable clothes is one less problem to worry about at a meeting or a function.
- Students are internally motivated when they dress professionally. It increases your focus and concentration. Meanwhile, distractions are aplenty when you are wearing casual clothes.
Dressing sense plays a vital role in interviews. It depicts a lot about your status, character, and who you are. Your first impression of a student determines how the interview will proceed. Some people make the mistake of wearing too bright or too dull clothes during an interview and it can send a bad impression. Generally, it is well-advised to wear formal clothes while attending an interview. Men need to dress up with a suit jacket along with a tie and shoes with rolled down sleeves.
If they don’t plan to wear a jacket, students can also go for a plain full-sleeved shirt, but they should stay away from garish hues. For women, wear whichever is appropriate, it can be a dress or pants or a saree- blouse. Dressing up is not relegated only to special occasions like a date, function, interview, or work. It is an everyday affair. You need to wear proper clothes daily no matter the activity. People notice your appearance before anything else about you as a student since clothing conveys personality.
