We all have heard the phrase "dress for sucess" but what does that mean? It has an abstract meaning which means it is mostly aqquired through a more personal understanding. In most cases, it means to dress fashionably and smart to impress because, I believe, that if you dress the part you get the part. So lets say you dress like a bum, people will more than likely treat you like a bum. Now let's say that you are dressed in nice casual clothing, people will react to you in a more casual and ,in some cases, respectful manner.

Dress for success means nothing to me. Well, not yet, anyways. I don't even know. So, a lot of people focus to much on their appearance. Which is bad. Others, while they still maintain a fairly acceptable wardrobe, you can tell they don't care as much. Which is okay. And then there are hobos. They wear paper bags for clothes.

I have heard the saying "Dress for Sucess". To many people it means alot of things. The one thing it means to me is that if you want to get a job you have to look like you really want it. If you gone somewhere with baggy pants the hiring person will probably not hire you.

Dress for success basically means that you need to be ready for anything. In sports it means to get pumped up. In academics it means to get ready for a test. I am going to tell you what it means in these next few paragraphs. We have heard what it but don't know what it means. I don't really use the phrase. I'll tell you what I think it means.

"Dress for Success" is interpreted in many different ways; the phrase has a different meaning to everybody. This phrase, to me, means how you present yourself in life will affect your future and success in life. Some careers that citizens urn for are not achieved because they were not presentable at the interview of that career and did not seem suitable for the job.

The saying “dress for success” has been around WELL before I was even an idea. There are many ways that people see where the saying is coming from or what it means. I think that the saying means 2 things. One thing that I believe it means is that somebody dresses nicely just because they love fashion. Many people that I know say that they are “dressed for success”. In other words that means that they look good or presentable.

"Dress or success" means for like when you go on a job interview dress appropriately. Like if you went for a job interview and you went in sweat pants and a t-shirt it wouldn't look like you're trying to relly get the job. It would look like you wouldn't be right for the job. So in order to be successful you have to dress like it.

What "dress for success " means to me is that you should always dress really nice when out in public. Because if your dressed like you just woke up and decided to go out that way people are gonna judge you even if they dont know you. People always judge you by your first impression and if your fist impression is slobby then thats what they are gonna judge you by Even if you look better the next time they see you. Thats why you should always try and put an effort in what you wear, especially for big events or job interviews because its really important. So thats what I think of when I hear the phrase "dress for success".
