When you meet someone, there is about an 8-12 second period of time while decisions are being made about who you are and whether you are who you say you are. The saying “You never have a second chance to make a good first impression” is true.

That impression formed on your first meeting with another person, continues to influence your relationship with the person.You can overcome decisions that are not favorable to you but it does take a great deal of time and energy. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not something you can change and their opinion remains as the first one they had of you.

Proportion and fit influence the overall effect of the image of the clothing the most. Color changes with fashion and what is popular at the time so when finding the colors that appeal in clothing there might be several seasons between choices if the color you like is not in fashion at the time you are shopping for new items. Being comfortable with the color and style choices, regardless of what is popular in fashion, allows you to build a wardrobe that is functional and what I call a working wardrobe rather than a hanging wardrobe.

The weight of the fabric the clothing is made out of influences how warm the garments will be and different fibers also influence the warmth. Think about what your body temperature is and what fabrics feel the most comfortable to you. Some people have difficulty with wool and it itching when touching the skin. Interestingly enough, it can be the way the the fibers are woven or spun that cause the itching.

Of all of the things that contribute to the appearance of a garment on a person, the placement of the clothing is by far what makes the most impact in creating the finished impression that the garment makes as you are wearing it. The eye moves in a specific pattern as it scans and if the garments and accessories are placed on the body so the face is the place the eye rests, people will remember you and not what you are wearing. It is what should have the highest importance when selecting clothing.

In every area of our life, we do business with people, companies and industries that have a consistent image. That is why so much effort is placed on communicating consistency.  It is called Brand marketing and works as well for a product as it does for a person.

Evaluate your own personal image to see if you are consistent in every area of your dressing.  Make adjustments as necessary, so that from casual out to formal you present a good impression each time.  Once you establish your look, it is easy to add new items to your wardrobe.  Your key when shopping is consistency with your established image.

Another way to think of this, is if you have a bowl of apples (your image preference) and you place an orange on top of the bowl you are immediately aware something is different. Use this same idea as you are shopping for new items of clothing to add to your wardrobe. Is the new item a match, in our example above an apple, or a mismatch, as in our example above, an orange.  With a small amount of practice adding items to your wardrobe will become very easy and fun.

You have 8 seconds for a visitor on line to decide if they want to stay and look at the rest of the material on your page.  In real life, you have 12 seconds for someone meeting you to make a decision about your visual credibility and if they want to stay and speak to you or move away from you.

If you have the answer they are trying to find, you may want to pay attention to the visual image you have so there is a match with your message.  In that way the person meeting you will be able to allow you to give them the information they are looking for and want to hear or see.

Because everyone who meets you has an opinion about you based on your image, it is one of the most important things to pay attention to as you are getting dressed and before you leave your residence to go anywhere.
