I am sure a lot of you would have heard this phrase a lot while growing up, “First impression is the last impression” and this one too, “Dress to impress.” Whenever someone uses any of these phrases or something similar they are most likely implying to how a person’s looks and dressing reveal a lot about their personality.

I clearly remember once we were visiting my dad’s friend for the first time during my high school days when I decided to go along in my casual night suit I was wearing.
