Can good dressing help in climbing the corporate ladder faster?

"First impression is the last impression."

As they say, the result of most of the interviews is decided in the final round of personal interviews where they judge you not only on the basis of your level of intelligence but the way you frame your answers along with your gestures and dressing . It is also observed that a well dressed employee is more confident and creative than a poorly dressed one. It's true that well dressing always matters but good knowledge and behavior can outweigh it when you are extraordinarily smart. Generally speaking, on first gaze its only your dressing sense that makes a statement, even before you speak its your dress which sends an alarm to the person you want to interact with.

So, a bad dressing sense can actually wreckage your career growth. Out of 2 people with same level of knowledge, a person with good sense of dressing will get an edge. Clothes give you lot of confidence and add charm to your personality which helps you to stand out among a group and helps you rise up the corporate ladder faster than usual. It’s not only the people in corporate needs to be well dressed for that matter .When we see around a lawyer's got to be in his proper dress, a chef in his whites ,a student in his clean uniform, army have their own,navy in their neat whites and blues, so does a future executive needs a well chosen combination of his clothes in his wardrobe or not.

As for me,"Essential dressing is as important as essential working." The question can be taken in anyway you want it to take. I leave it open and flexible enough for you to decide.
