What the phrase "dress for success" means to me

"Dress for success" is a phrase we have heard at least once in our lives. I've always wondered the reason behind it. So in this post, I will explain what it means to me.

When we wear clothes, we usually choose something that matches our personality and sense of fashion. Well at least that's true for me. We always try and find something that looks good on us so we feel confident about our presentation of ourselves.

Dressing for success is a phrase many people may take literally, like trying to straighten their collar or tuck their shirt in. But that is not the meaning of this phrase to me. I feel this phrase means that we should be ourselves. You are only the most successful when you are yourself.

For example, some people out there want to be actors, but if they can't express their true talent, how can they reach that goal? Also, in my school, we wear uniforms. The administrators follow after us, trying to make sure we look presentable. Yes, that is important, but if my shirt isn't the right shade of blue, is that going to kill me? I don't think so!

Someone also told me a story one day. Two people walk in to do an interview for the same job. One is dressed so nice and neat, but is very impatient and hostile. The other is dressed like they just rushed that morning, but this person is sweet, kind and has a lot of patience. Which one do you think the interviewer would choose? They would obviously choose the poorly dressed one. Just because they rushed doesn't mean they don't have the brains for the job. Dressing for success isn't all about looking good. It is about feeling good in your own skin and reaching for your dreams.
