After 2 years of shut downs, and working from home, many have gotten very lax about how they dress and think it doesn’t matter.
As comfortable as you think your jammies are, our widely-held belief that what we put on our bodies doesn’t affect the way we perceive ourselves or others in a workspace is wrong. What we wear can have a big impact on how we and others feel about us—even if we only interact through a screen. Research shows our clothes have the power to make us feel more competent and authoritative and even more trustworthy. What we wear also plays a role in how capable people think we are at our jobs.
Clothes are not only functional and protective, it become our second skin and tells a lot about who and what we are. What we wear enables us to build and express our identity as well a means to promote ourselves to others.
