Dress to Impress, with Antonio Centeno - PT COREntrepreneur Podcast
‘You can’t judge a book by its cover,’ the saying goes. And that’s absolutely true, for books.
When it comes to people, appearances really do matter. We all make subconscious judgments about other people based on their personal grooming and clothing habits.
Sometimes our snap judgments don’t align with reality. But often enough, and particularly in the professional world, they do. We naturally gravitate to people who look the part and seem confident in their role.
Ultimately, we all want the look that works for us – that complements our unique looks, projects authority, wears comfortably, but that also doesn’t get in the way or leave us scratching our head when trying to get dressed in the morning. Sounds complicated? It doesn’t have to be.
“To me, credibility is so key. If a naked man walks into a crowded room and yells ‘fire,’ what do we think? We just think he’s crazy. If a fireman says ‘everyone get out of here,’ do we question him? No. Instant authority.” - Antonio Centeno
