Have you ever wondered why so many workplaces have dress codes? Why the concept of uniforms
exists?Every day in college, we come across differently dressed people. Some people dress very
smartly, with formal or semi-formal attires, while the rest don’t mind coming in night dresses, like
lowers and slippers. Does what we wear to college really make that big a difference?

Well, the answer is, yes! According to a theory called “Enclothed Cognition”, a person’s psychological
processes are systematically influenced by the way he is dressed. This clears the doubt about
whether the way you dress is really influential or not. Being college students, the way we present
ourselves is really important.

Here are a few reasons why we should dress properly for College:

Increased Self-Confidence

When you dress well, you tend to be more confident. You feel more presentable and don’t hesitate
while facing any situation. Being well dressed influences your body language and improves the way
you carry yourself.

Better Impression On Others

As a student, your impression on your teachers and batch mates is important. A sloppy dresser will
never be able to make an impression as good as someone who is nicely dressed. Your clothes
portray how much you care about yourself and perhaps others.

Leaving Laziness Behind

There is a psychology related to every cloth we wear. Our night dresses obviously make us switch to
the lazy mode. Loose fitting clothes will make us feel carefree. Thus, what you wear to college should
be appropriate, so that you can actually feel that you are finally at college!

Ever Ready For Surprise Events

Things are not always planned. College life may give you a lot of surprises. There may be a workshop
to attend, an interactive session with a dignitary, or simply a meeting to attend. Would you like to
attend any of these in an inappropriate attire? So, that’s where dressing well comes to the rescue.

Adopting A Routine

When you will be determined to dress properly every day, you will become habitual of the same.
You will strive to dress in the best possible way every day and then, eventually, it will become of
your traits, which is sure to leave a good impression about you on others.
