18.What do you wear when going to work?Do you wear a uniform or do you just dress yourself casually?I don't pay special attention to what to wear but I sometimes wonder:could clothing really advance my career?
According to Accountancy firm PwC,appearance is very important.They say people make up their mind about someone in just 30seconds.What you wear can help you be remembered for the right reasons.
Image advisers say what you wear is a big part of your personal brand.But for many people what should matter is whether you can do your job,rather than your choice of clothing.
Karen Pine,a psychology professor at a university in the UK believes women,who wear improperly to work,say very short skirts,are judged to be less competent(勝任的) and less likely to get a promotion.So low-cut dresses and tight-fitting clothes are a no-no,unless you're in show business.
And men aren't off the hook when it comes to dress code(衣著規(guī)則) either.Pine says that men are considered less successful if they wear an off-the-shelf suit,while equally suitable candidates who wear a tailor-made suit are more likely to get a promotion.
However,clothes are about more than just appearances.They can even cause emotional effects.For instance,proper dressing can boost people's self-esteem to a certain extent and make them more confident.
