>>10545115In my family it's always been a "rule" to always look your best. My father said something to me as a teenager that's always stuck with me.
He said it more eloquently, but here's the gist of it:
"You only get one chance to make a first impression. You never know when or where you're going to meet your next boss or the woman you're going to marry. Always dress for it"
I wear a sportcoat and a tie whether I'm going to the grocery store or to a nice dinner. If I'm in public, I'm always dressed incredibly well and people remember me because of it. I leave a good impression on people even if I never speak to them. People always treat me with respect and ladies love it. It may seem a little ridiculous and impractical to always be dressed in business-casual, but I like it. I mean, I have to wear clothes anyway, so I may as well try to look nice doing it.
