Florida has very interesting business attire. I see many agents and have been guilty myself of doing business in flip plops and a T-Shirt. When ever I become relaxed in the way I present myself I feel my professionalism decline. However, when I put on my business suit or more professional attire I find myself more confident and ready to tackle what ever task is at hand.
Can it be that our own appearance not only influences those who we are around, but also how we feel about our own being. If you are a consumer and you walked into a room of professionals whether they be Realtors or perhaps insurance agents, who are you going to gravitate towards? And, if like attracts like then perhaps the way we dress will bring us the people we really want to associate ourselves with. I don't have a problem with dressing casual, but I think it should be saved for leisure activities.
Now I know that a three piece suit is not practical in July. A Nice polo and khakis can be very impressive with some nice shoes , or a linen skirt and a short sleeve button up shirt paired with sandles can have the same affect. Its putting our best foot forward so that we get taken seriously.
I personally strive to not consider the another persons appearance. I know looks can be deceiving, but I would be lying if I said I don't lien towards the better dressed people. I don't follow trends or name brands. I do pay attention to a persons choice of clothing when they say they are at work. Everyone has their own way and it should be like that. Everyone has their own nitch and customers who are comfortable with them. I am just wondering who feels like I do.
