American English has many expressions related to clothes. Two of the more common ones are: “Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have”; and, simply, “Dress for success.”

Tara Luizzi, a professional stylist, says that our clothes can influence how we feel, our confidence, and even our ability to do a job.

Luizzi says that people make a judgment about us before we even speak.“My feeling is you don’t have a second chance to make a great first impression.”

But choosing the right clothes is not just about impressing others.

A recent study suggests that people who dress more formally perform better at some work tasks.

People wearing casual clothes tend to focus more on the smaller details of a problem.

Luizzi also has some advice for people preparing to go to a job interview:

1. For a man, wearing a suit is not always the right choice. If the job is creative and casual, a suit might look out of place, or strange.

2. When going to a job interview, wear something new or at least newer.

3. Make sure your shoes are clean and polished.

4. For women, don’t wear too much makeup, perfume, or jewelry.
