Is external appearance important?
You might feel that we should focus on inner beauty. That's true, inner beauty is certainly important. However, when you meet someone new, a colleague, partner, client, etc., how much time can they spend getting to know your inner beauty? A week? A month? A year? Some people, you might spend a year with and still not truly understand their inner self.
In this rapidly changing era, we can no longer deny the importance of first impressions, which is our external image. Image is the first impression we give to others.
If appearance wasn't important, why would most people still wear suits instead of loungewear for work-from-home, online meetings, and business partner meetings? Even if the camera only shows your upper body, you'd still change into a shirt, put on a jacket, comb your hair, apply lipstick, and cover up dark circles, right? In reality, many people are wearing pajama shorts on their lower half 🤣
From this, it can be proven why external appearance is still so important. Because it fully reflects your respect for this meeting or conference, it is a basic courtesy.
However, image isn't about being exceptionally beautiful or handsome. It's about the professionalism and impression your overall attire gives off. It doesn't mean you have to wear designer brands or drive a luxury car, but rather, does your clothing style suit your own taste? Can it bring out your best temperament and aura?
Many brands today are following the fast fashion style. This refers to trendy clothing launched from fashion shows in a short period of time. Consumers can purchase stylish clothes at low prices in a short period. This type of clothing is mostly the most popular today, quick, convenient, and diverse. Consumers are driven by trends and impulse. However, trends are like the wind and will eventually go out of style. You're probably regretting the trendy clothes you bought on impulse right now, aren't you?
To elevate your personal style, avoid fast fashion items as much as possible and let go of the idea of wearing whatever is currently trending. You should thoroughly understand your own image and work background to identify outfits that suit you. Learn how to style accessories, bags, etc., to maximize your personal appeal and become your own best brand.
Why is the best investment oneself? Regardless of gender, if a person pays attention to both their external image and inner substance and improves them simultaneously, their social value will also increase. Applying the law of attraction, once one's social value increases, they will attract people of the same caliber, working and progressing together. Doesn't that feel wonderful?
