Dress is an important feature in one's overall personality,one should be neat and presentable. On weekends or in industries' where dress codes do not exist,( Media and advertising)presentablity is an important factor. Simple logic if one cannot look after their own personality how can they manage other's work? or a team?

Well dressed does not mean a modelling show in the office. It has a psychological impact on people because it shows that an employee is serious towards his job and also it makes people approachable.

Well, Indians in general (both rich and poor) would always like to look like a pig by dressing shabbily. Their excuse for this is "poverty, to look humble etc". Then, these people pay 100 to 200 rupees to go to a movie theater to watch Indian movies.....for what?.... to see the people (stars) on screen who have dressed up properly....to see how indians look when they have dressed properly!

Psychologically a well dressed person is considered as confident. A confident person delivers what he is expected of. He/she likes to get the attention of peers and persons around. Since he/she is getting attention of others , he naturally try to give his best in working also.

Thanks Kirti for some what interesting topic, I would like to say from my way of thinking that those who are spending some time to think about what dress I would wear tomorrow will be more serious in the work. Actually I was thinking about creating a debate to know what is the dress sence in India as I had spend most of my proffessional life out side and in India I am seeing that a lot of proffessionals are coming in Tees and Jeans in all days which I am not familiar with.........

The dressing sense is very important factor to be considered. It gives good turn out and personality when men/women are well dressed. It enhances the confidence level in performing the assignment. Moreover it signals that somebody is watching and so the well dressed people will concentrate on their work. But on the contrary, there is no use of well dressed when they have not delivered in their assignment. Thanks for the referral Mr.Malladi Madhukumar.

Dressing style of the staff member makes a first impression on the customer. A staff member who is not neatly and properly dressed is not taken seriously by the customer and his words and actions will also make no impression on the customer. So, the staff member should be properly dressed up.

Any one decently dressed for the job would be taken seriously. If a person in a job profile where wearing a suit, tie, etc., is considered a must, but is wearing just a shirt and trouser he would be taken lightly, how much ever important he is. In the same way a peon or an office assistant must be dressed like one and if he is given a suit, tie, shoe, etc., not only he become a laughing stock, but so would his boss and company. A well dressed person is almost always surrounded by an invisible aura of "Confidence". The Judge must dress as a Judge does. This would bring respect not only to the position but also the person. Likewise a Court "Dabali" must be dressed like a court "Dabali" and not like a lay person. Only then (when the Judge and "Dabali" are dressed appropriately) people would rise and stand when the Judge arrives whenever the "Dabali" announces the Judge's arrival. And then geographical location also counts. Saree in south Asia is very fashionable and looks very decent and makes the wearer very pretty. That's why in many companies, especially star Hotels, front office staff wear sarees. Many south Asian women would not look good or act gracefully in a frock or skirt dress. Hence, the right dress for the individual as per his/her job profile would definitely bring respect to the work he/she does and thus they would be taken seriously. In Tamil they say "Aal paadhi Aadi Paadhi" meaning to say that a person (his ability, qualification, background, status, etc.) is only half and the other half is reflected in his appropriate dressing.

Dress for the job is more appropriate. Like Doctors/nurse, Engineers/techncians, Lawyers/judges, swamiji's/political leaders. Its more convenient to work with & easy to identify also. In certain countries, it is a regulation that the employee need to wear a particular dress.What matter is that the dress need to be neat & clean and hygenic one.Ofcourse, what you wear need to be presentable. You can also understand that the Dress Makes Half the man.We can not generalise that well dressed man/woman does perform well. They are liked by all & its a quality of living.

Thanks Kriti for inviting me. The first look at a man/woman is her appearence which is through dressing. We, majority of times decide upon a person by seeing his clothes and first impression is created. I feel it is very important that one should dress tastefully (i do not mean fashionable) as per the occassion. This shows the individual's culture and also the respect he shows others. Improperly dressed in the office has an impact not only on the individual but also on others. Good dressing enhances ones personality and confidence. When you go well dressed to a meeting, you feel good about yourself, so that you reflect positive energy around you. This positive energy reaches the others and the environment is totally positive. Why is that in certain professions wearing a "tie" is important? It is to show that 'I take you seriously, and you also do the same'. It is said 'tie tightens you up' and you mean business. Ultimately, it is the person in you who reflects through your clothes. That is why we have various types of dressing for various occassions. We feel at home in those situations when we are properly dressed.

As they say....."Ek noor Aadami ..Das noor kapda"....yeah definitely..power dressing adds value in ur personality & charm too, when it comes to impression mgmt , or influencing people ..in addition to your performance..right kind of dressing style helps alot.... In this era of fast paced.. "show - biz" people do judge others on face value or first impression.....& if u r leader then people look up to you as role model & observing you closely...wht u wear..how u carry urself.... they r the once who falls under "always preferred" category when it comes to leading the group.

Thanks for the referral Ms Kirti I don’t completely agree with you in this one. Dress is made by people, and not the dress which makes people. Considering the fact that well dressed people are taken more seriously, well in India this concept is there but with the coming in of MNC’s this concept is changing, but still there are a few sectors where people are still judged by the way they are dressed. About the fact that well dressed employees work better, I don’t think so, people Mr. Nikhil Jain has rightly put in different points of a person’s efficiency. A person’s work depends on the fact that he/she is enthusiastic about their work and how they respect their work, what their goals are in life.

There are too many factors involved therefore feel it can not be generalised. Not all may get carried away to relegate "subject content" to second place. Only exceptions are, where uniform or dress plays equally importnant part of performance in total.
