It’s human nature to use little bits and pieces of information to form an overall impression.
Sometimes just the mention of a certain group conjures up an image of that group. Next, we fill in the details - how they look, dress, what they represent. It’s called a stereotype and it doesn’t always have to be negative, it just “is”.
Now, we can’t change how the world thinks, but we can dress to associate ourselve with the "right" group. For example, if you look like you belong to a certain group (i.e. bankers, lawyers . . . thugs), others will think of you as having similar values, attitudes and other characteristics associated with that group’s image.
Carefully choose the stereotype you want to be associated with, then dress for it.
