You don’t have to wear a suit, or even a shirt with a collar in order to dress intentionally.
All it requires is a little thought and care. First and foremost, it’s making sure your clothing fits right. After that, it’s understanding what message your clothing is communicating to the world.
Being “put together” suggests a level of credibility and self-confidence that can be beneficial in daily life. It can also portray a level of control and authority that may help deselect you from criminal targeting, and if not, it can help ensure that you’re perceived as the “good guy” by bystanders.
Nobody’s saying you have to live your life in a necktie, or even that you have to spend hours a week planning your outfits. But once you have an understanding of your own personal style, you can curate your wardrobe so that your clothing reflects who you are, regardless if you’re in jeans or a full suit.
