One of the major factors in the development of personality is physical appearance. Personality is the image that you present to the outer world. Psychological scientist Ying Hu Stated “Our research shows that people infer a wide range of personality traits just by looking at the physical features of a particular body.”
How physical appearance affects personality:
First impression is the best impression. Physical appearance is the first and probably the most lasting impression you make to others. you are at work, or while speaking in public, at an interview, you are representing a company, an organization or just yourself. The individuals looking at you form an opinion about you even before you open your mouth and utter a single word based on the external image. Therefore your facial expressions, body language, good postures, how neatened and well dressed you are can greatly contribute to your personality.
As the saying goes, ‘there are many things that make a man complete, what you wear is just one of them’. Though dressing is just one of the many aspects of personality development, it proves to be important in many situations.
Why dressing matters?
Dressing according to the occasion is a really important task. You should know where and what to wear. People are too good at pointing out others flaws. For example, Appearing for an interview is one of the needs for getting a good job. Here, the main goal is to impress the interviewer. In this case, avoid vibrant colour/fashionable outfits, wear executive shoes, wear minimal jewellery and neat hairstyle. If you are decently dressed and good-looking, chances are high that you will make it to the final list.

If you look good you feel good. It is important to be comfortable with what you wear. It helps you build your self esteem. And remember to give a genuine smile. A warm, genuine smile is contagious, signals friendliness and conveys an open acceptance of others as well as a willingness to interact. Since you only get one opportunity to make a first impression, try your best to make it the best one.
