Clothes, and one’s comportment, really do send a message. This has been completely lost in our culture - everything has been relentlessly casual-ized, hence t-shirts and flip-flops at the office and pajama pants at the grocery store.
While I was visiting my family over Christmas, I was watching the local news. One of my hometown’s city officials was being interviewed, and he was dressed in jeans and a crumpled polo shirt. That signified not even a lack of self-esteem or dignity, but also a lack of respect for his position. How difficult would it have been to put on a sport coat and a nice button down shirt, or even to comb his hair or put on a professional comportment?
