Well it just makes sense! It does say something about your character too after all. Like Windston explains it means you respect your clients (or whatever company in that case you apply for) enough to put in the extra effort. I do interview people myself and hired a teen girl once before who came in looking like she didn't wash her hair for a while, wanting to not be prejustice etc. Yeah the way she presented herself definable reflected the kind of care she put into her tasks..

My father taught me that lesson when I was 15 and I passed it on to my son. I've never "Interviewed" for a job, I learn everything I can about a business, walk in prepared in a suit and tie and I take the job I want. I've also noticed when the people I'm competing with, often in casual clothes, see me in my suit, their confidence quickly dies. If you're serious about your career, look like it.

I've never seen a comment that I agree more with. My entire life I've been terrified of job interviews, its caused me to not apply for jobs and languish in dead end roles for the best part of a decade. I decided to retrain as an IT proffesional and prepared to apply to one of the big tech companies, I spent over a year preparing by adding all of the recruiters on linkedin and networking with them, attending in person and virtual events hosted by the company, when I got the first interview date I spent over a month studying everything about the company and role and then when all the candidates were sat in the zoom call lobby, a lot of them weren't dressed proffesionally, some just had a shirt on with no tie with the top button undone, some didn't even bother to have there cameras turned on which the representative commented negatively on, meanwhile I was sat there in a suit & tie, dress shoes and cologne even for a virtual interview. Needless to say, I went and took the job. If I have kids, I'll also pass this onto them, such a valuable lesson.

This is so true. Even in the States there is a subconscious judgment. I was a fresh faced, clean shaved, baby faced Art Director. Youngest in the State of Nevada. I would have pitch meetings with Casinos and get dismissed. I grew out a Moustache and Goatee, met the same people, pitched the same ideas and they accepted it. The facial hair made me look older and they took me more seriously. It is weird on how or what makes people view you differently.

I completely agree. I had a similar experience as your original story. I worked as an IT specialist for a large company. I noticed all the "managers" wore suits and none of the "regular"employees did. Most of the managers were not very smart or talented. I wondered ... are they wearing suits because they are managers or are they managers because they wear suits. I decided I would wear suits and see what happened. I spent several months buying some nice suits. I told my best friend and co-worker that starting in October about 3 months a way I was going to start wearing suits to work. In October I started wearing a suit to work every day. Within 60 days the company offered me the job as team lead, within six months I was offered a new job within the company leading a larger team. Within a year I was offered a job as a Deputy Project Manager by another company because they knew me from attending meetings with them... Eventually I was offered a job as a country manager... All because I decided to wear suits. Nothing else about me had changed....just wearing suits. Regardless of what any other naysayers say about it.. I know for certain, wearing a suit makes a difference, in

He is very correct. I am a network engineer at a hospital. Other engineers wear at best polo shirts and jeans. I wear a suit without a tie. Many times I had to intervene when hospital staff was resistant to letting the engineers work on the network equipment. I would walk up with confidence and the staff would treat me very differently. The suit commands a respect. I am no different than the other engineers. As a side effect, the other engineers have more or less promoted me to the big sr. engineer to lead the teams. Dress to impress but not overdress. When you wear a suit, you will feel more confident when you observe the respect you get.

As a person from the tech industry I can 100% vouch to what he said. Our organization has no formal dress code policy i.e. wear whatever (decent) you want. But although I was in quite a senior position, I noticed that wearing appropriate clothing garnered more respect and attention and people would pay more attention to what you are saying. So although I kept my jeans and sneakers, I ditched t-shirts and adopted nicely ironed casual or formal dress shirts, and it made quite a bit of difference.

As an axe murderer I have found wearing a suit to be problematic in many respects. Namely no-one will be in fear of a suit wearing axeman. The cloth soaks up way too much blood and tends to leave a trail which could be followed. The cuffs of the trousers are also traps for hair and flesh remnants. And a well fitted suit makes no allowance for concealment of the axe most preferred by us professionals - the half crescent double blade with knob crusher. The only real attraction is the pocket handkerchief, but nowadays even this tends to be a piece of cardboard with a frilley end.

It is important to dress appropriately for your work environment.

Look like someone who can give orders, but don't completely overdress. Also, do 100 push ups, 100 squats, plank for 3 minutes, and run 10 km a day.

Yeah, a suit/uniform boosts a loser's small ego and also fools most gullible bystanders. It works great in our stupid, shallow, authority-centered society (not just in China), but it's not a sign of "showing respect" to anyone with a modicum of intelligence and certainly not to yourself. It's more like being conformist or a corporate drone who must fit in a hierarchy (it's no surprise that military actually requires standardized uniforms - as a sign of sacrifice of individuality in order to submit to an organization someone else's rules). Those people who can actually afford not to "role play" the dressing up game don't. And neither do hippies and hobos who just can't give a fuck, but that's another story.

I GUARANTEE you will be prejudged by your peers the first few seconds they lay eyes on you. THE POINT IS: Whether you like it or not... (even if you are not aware of it)... socially acceptable clothing style is dictated by the "cultural expectations" within the circle of your peers. When meeting for the first time and before any words are exchanged between two people, each will already have a subconscious perception or prejudgment of the other within those first few seconds.

5:24 I've grown up in central London and my impression is the exact opposite. Guys in a dark suit and tie are typically office workers on little more than minimum wage. Admin guys and so on. Guys above them, take the tie away and usually wear a more casual button up shirt. Maybe dark jeans. Guys above them usually wear jumpers over a button up shirt, no tie, jeans. The richest guys I see are rarely dressed in suits unless it is for dinner. Even then it's more likely to be jeans or chinos and a casual button up shirt. Maybe it's over exposure to it. I'm more likely to look at a guy in a suit and think, that looks cheap/dirty than think, wowww, that guy must have special authoritative powers.

I've just recently found you on youtube. I'm a piano teacher (in Australia) with mostly Asian students, as well as a communication coach....so I've really binged on your content since I discovered it a few days ago. Something I'd like to add about wearing a suit is the way it lifts the game of the wearer. When we feel good about how we look, we unconsciously communicate that to the people around us, and we have more confidence in ourselves. For many years I dealt with debilitating migraines, but still had to get on with the business of living. It was on those days that I wore the red lipstick, did my hair and paid extra attention to what I wore. How we present ourselves has a huge impact on how others respond to us, AND it also plays a major part in how we feel about ourselves. Maintaining standards and expectations for how we present ourselves to the world may seem old fashioned, but it really does have an impact on our self esteem.

I was hired as an office boy (the lowest position) in a large business company. I went with a suit the first day to give a good impression to everyone. As it turns out, most workers did not wear suit, except for the president and the two vice-presidents. I did my job with diligence, since preparing the coffee pot, to making the copies, to do the occasional errand, etc. I even conversed with the clients when they came to visit any of the project managers and they were busy or not arrived yet. I offered coffee, water, etc. After six months, one of the clients offered my a job with his company as project manager. Two years later, he retired and he recommended me to take his job as president of the company. Now, retired, I still use a suit to meet with the guys at the coffee place or at the country club.

I know this is an old video and you may not pay attention to the comments now, but I have to relate a story. Some years ago a friend was the head of the night IT staff for a SoCal county government. A county of some 4.3m people I might add, so not a minor position. He tended to dress pretty casual, to put it nicely. During this period the local homeless, several hundred of them, had taken over the parking structure and were to be seen wandering all over the area at any time of the day or night. One evening, while the offices were still open, he was walking from one building to another and a little old lady, a customer to one of the buildings, approached him and pressed two dollars into his hands. He decided it was time to up the game on his attire. 😉

@@pawelallableThe fact is the population only really has the ability to relate to medical doctors because that is who they interact with. They would not hold medical doctors in such high regard if they knew how little medical doctors really know. And why do people put medical doctors on such a pedestal? If the answer is because a medical doctor can heal, then my question is what tool does a medical doctor use to heal which was not developed but either a physicist, a chemical engineer, or a chemist? I can agree, PhDs are over-given these days, especially in the liberal arts. That dilutes the idea of PhD being the highest terminal degree. Interesting side note is that colleges ranked GRE scores by major of the student taking the exam and found that engineers and physical scientists traditionally score the highest. Some years it's engineers at the top, some years its physical scientists. One thing is for sure, if you get a PhD in any of these areas, you have done something significant and original. You've made an advancement for humanity. In the big scheme of things these are very small steps forward, but because many people are making them, it builds like water gathering behind a dam, then one day there is a student placed in the right position at the right time under the right advisor who can assimilate those previous small advances into that big leap forward that changes everything. My argument is that research scientists have no need to stand on the shoulders of medical doctors, as that would be a step down. Don't get me wrong, the quality of PhDs vary widely, but if you are talking about PhDs in engineering or physical sciences, then those really are accomplishments with the track record of success to prove it. For instance the Haber-Bosch process, developed by an engineer and a chemist, allowed the first commercialization of the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen to fertilizer. This process is so important that roughly 10% of all electricity consumed in the world is devoted to this one process. It is the sole reasoning of why this planet can support the huge population it does. Then there are vaccines, antibiotics, and even gene therapies. All chemistry. So I say that Ph.D. stands for Doctor of Philosophy. In Germany if you have a PhD they say, "Herr Doktor". So when those of us who have earned that highest of degrees uses the title doctor, that is the correct usage. If others misunderstand it, that is not trickery on our part, just lack of knowledge on theirs

My almost 18 yr old son had to go to court to pay his 1st speeding ticket. As a mom I have lectured him about dressing "proper" for situations such as this, the courts like grey, black or drk blues. So he put together a nice suite from a thrift shop. He got his ticket reduced 2/3rds and that's not all, they even wiped it from the record. Afterwards he asked if we could stop at Fredmeyer's to look at some jewelery for his girlfriend, so I obliged and in we went to the jewelry. The response to his suit was amazing, the clerks and some customers believed he was a lawyer or something, some asked if he was a banker some suggested he work in an accounting firm and I just giggled and enjoyed their reactions when he explained the truth, that he was in fact an almost 18 yr old not graduated yet, young man who just got back from court to pay a traffic ticket. Their jaw dropped when they heard it was also an Armani thrift suit and dress shoes from Ross. He looked so put together that he got immediately respected and judged to be wealthy and super successful. He also wore other suits to school just for (as he puts it) "shits and giggles", his peers aplauded him as well as his teachers, who often commented on how nice he looked and that it played well into the "dress for success" mantra at his school. He felt good too. It's wonderful to see your son get admired for something so frivolous, but all the same he is just as chill and good looking muddy and dirty wearing his hi-viz attire from the lumber/pallets mill he works at. However the attitudes from bank tellers twards him cashing his check right after work demonstrates their sheer shallowness twards those who work hard and get dirty. They treat him differently when he goes in the same bank clean and suited up, looking him in the eye and engaging him in conversation as if he was a different person who was worth their attention.

Something you missed: it needs to fit well! Ill-fitting suits can make you come off even worse than if you'd just rocked up in jeans and t-shirts. Your suits fit you very well (tailored?) and you give off a good impression as a result, but if it doesn't fit well then it just looks like you only have one suit and you bought it thirty years ago. Another point is that it's a sliding scale, and you can get quite a lot of respect while remaining fairly casual by simply wearing new, well-fitting, well-coordinated clothes. A black t-shirt with blue jeans makes you look like an IT guy, whereas a white t-shirt and blue jeans or a black t-shirt and white jeans makes you look like a manager who's popped into the office during his vacation. It gives off a better vibe than "IT guy" even if it isn't giving off the "CEO" vibe that you'll get from wearing a full suit around the office.

Indeed. I wear black chinos and well fitted shirts with leather shoes. I am not wearing a suit - but the impression/feedback from students at the school where I teach is that I DO wear a suit. Making the effort to dress well/professionally shows respect - but more importantly gives you respect back. The default response from others is respect. You cannot judge a book by its cover, but the cover is the first point of contact that will entice you into it's content.

Yes, absolutely right. The suit needs to fit well, with no wrinkles and and preferably a pressed white shirt, polished shoes, white undershirt. Next, with no intended disrespect to Serpentza, its a good idea to be clean shaven.

Yes! I agree there. Especially when the jacket comes off and you see the huge round underarm sweat mark. Best to stay inside the air conditioned environment. I'm sure he uses deodorant as the heat is unbearable and intolerable in Asia. Chinese don't have the bodily hair that foreigners have and also don't seem to sweat as much. In Asia anyone qualifies for a suit. Most salesman working for bosses have to wear suits to do business. Serpenza being a foreigner in a suit will stand out more and arouse more curiosity which is a good thing for the image of his channel. They will see him as 007 James Bond especially with sunglasses. LOL! Now all he needs is a luxury sports car to go with it.

I do it all the time in Norfolk, VA, in the summer, where the climate is humid subtropical. Buy summer-weight suits, they're made of lighter wool, and are actually about as cool as any other clothes you might wear for summer other than t-shirt and shorts. You want to avoid sweat stains at the armpits? That's what undershirts and antiperspirant are for; I never have a problem with that, and I sweat more heavily than many. Back in the days before air conditioning was so common, men wore linen or seersucker suits in the summer in the American south (and lived with the attendant wrinkles that are just a fact of life with those fabrics). It was also not uncommon for men to change shirts once or twice a day in the hot summer. But nowadays, with every car and building air conditioned, how much time are you standing around outside in the heat in a suit anyway?

A suit can be a little overkill at times but being smartly dressed definitely helps you gain respect from your colleagues, shop assistants, people in the street, etc. At a previous place of employment I refused to wear the "IT" uniform as it really was not a good look - baggy "industrial" combat trousers, polo shirt and chunky steel toecap shoes. I used to wear my own clothes - trousers, smart shirt and shoes as I felt far more comfortable and confident in my own clothes that were far better suited to formal office environments. Eventually, management tried to force me to wear the uniform and I handed in my resignation. On the last day I handed over all of my equipment and a sealed box containing the dreadful staff uniform, totally unworn!

It is absolutely true. When I was attending grad school I wore a suit my whole experience changed from just dressing casual. People called me sir. People held doors for me. Please spoke to me in a much formal way. It is simply a mind thing that you are a symbol of authority and or success. Very strange at first. My wife always worried about overdressing to events. I told her that the people attending were more concerned if they underdress rather than the opposite. You can never overdress and be embarrassed. I cannot say the same about underdressing.

The key word is respect, not only that you, properly dressed, will be respected, but it is also, and mainly, a matter of YOU respecting the people you meet. For 15 years I was a "lay-judge in a Swedish court of justice - equal to a Magistrate´s court. Most cases were about minor things, such a petty thefts, speeding and the like. Some were of course more serious crimes committed by hardened criminals. They knew the game, and knew what sentence to expect. But the majority, appearing in court for the first (often the only) time, were nervous, afraid , sometimes on the verge of breaking down. Some wore dirty jeans and T-shirts that should have been discarded long ago, dishevelled is the word. Out of respect to these, our fellow, more unfortunate citizens, I - as well as many of my male colleagues always wore suit and tie or at least a tweed jacket and tie. It (hopefully) made them feel respected and also (hopefuly) made them trespect the law. Hans Strömberg Sweden

This is exactly how I feel as a black man living in England. If I were to dress in casual clothes, I would be looked down on pretty much everywhere in public. However, dressing in at least a shirt instantly garners the respect of the public. People judge you by your face value, and unfortunately, that value can be pretty low.
