There is an old Eastern Speech "physical value lies in clothing ". That's why fashion is often emits Attraction the person who wears it, may be an aura of masculine men or feminine Women. As with the Western term "you are what you wear", a slogan that has meaning to Someone's assessment can be seen from the dress He wore, at least neat and attractive. Therefore if the eastern cultural treasures have the same pattern with western cultural treasures related to the appearance, that means an assessment of the dress has a universal value.
The legal profession that often obtain the spotlight is a lawyer, the lawyer is quite a neat appearance and often fashionable, commonly known brand of choice in the style of dress. Citing an article from the Remsen group, about the appearance of attorney profession, based on a survey done to the law firms in the United States in 2010, providing the survey results with 23 percent always dressed in a suit, 58 percent dress in a business casual, but under certain conditions wear a suit, 13 percent dress suit if they have to, and 8 percent said other. Then if viewed by the growing trend in the last five-year period, 7 percent answered more formal, more casual 71 percent, and 22 percent said about the same, or no change in the pattern.
If seen From the survey results, then at the present time, the appearance of lawyers has decreased. Less than 25 percent replied that they were dressed in a suit and tie,and so on with the female lawyer who dressed with a suit jacket. As well as more than 70 percent responded that today's workplace becomes more casual than the age of five years ago. Clearly, the dress code has undergone many differences from the period of 25 years ago, but is this a good thing for the legal/law profession?
Related to the legal/law profession, particularly lawyers, then it is necessary to be a good lawyer in the professional sense, maybe the answer is about the perception of the profession of lawyers and how it is viewed by others. If an attorney is paid at the rate of 350 dollars per hour by the client, the lawyer's client expectations is worth paying for the value, of course, the assessment also includes dressed in a suit, flexible, able to speak and good manners as well as professionals. Thus the way lawyers male or female looks and presents itself have a major impact on the acceptance of clients on the ability and capacity as a lawyer.
Like it or not, the image of a lawyer are very important and influential. Although the dress sometimes give little role in terms of being a good lawyer, but it can provide much of an impression on how others perceive the capabilities of a lawyer and have a large impact on the success (or perhaps failure) lawyer in marketing strategy and business development.
It's Common that People judge an advocate not only of the expertise and ability and professionalism but also in the image attached to the figure of the lawyer. We also know how the figure of brilliant and hard workers who reach the peak of a career or even fail in business because of the image or appearance is poor and social or related capabilities is also bad. However, the fact that at a national level survey conducted by HotJobs.com states that 89 percent of practitioners of Human Resources said that the way a person dressed determining promotion, this is because the corporate culture in America love professionalism.
In fact, according to author Malcolm Gladwell best seller Blink, saying "one can judge others in a while". Harry Beckwith also think that the world judging one's appearance is an important thing for the long-term professional career. That's because the visual image more convincing in expressing a figure than the disclosure orally or in writing. "Like it or not, we now live in an age where visual and image becomes more important than you ever think," said Beckwith.
The first impression was a strong influence and it usually last long in assessing a figure. "It is hard to recover from a bad image into a good". There is almost rare to Obtain opportunity for a second time, if at the time of the first impression is not showing a good impression. There is only one chance, so try to make it the best during the first impression.
At the beginning of his career as a marketing consultant, Remsen once suggested to the lawyers to look like their clients. For a lawyer in the banking sector, Dress like a bankers, and if you have clients from the real estate developer sector also dress looks like a real estate developer, and even if the client comes from sports stars and celebrities in the entertainment world then dress look like movie star or musician. This Opinion Created because at that time A client will more and more comfortable if accompanied by someone who resembled them.
But Remsen opinion later changed, because he realize a lot of clients who want a lawyer dressed like a lawyer, polite, flexible and professionally speaking.
Similarly the opinion of experts of marketing in other areas of law and the way people look to the profession of lawyers. According to Nancy Myrland, president of Myrland Marketing in Indianapolis, said that very few clients who blame a lawyer because too neatly dressed. Wearing a suit for work or a meeting seemed to send a message that the lawyer really appreciate and respect the client and serious in his work field. "The presentation and how lawyers package an attractive appearance is a clue or Signal of the Lawyer’s Profession".
Stephen Babcock of Babcock Law Firm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said she dressed in a suit of high class and has been doing it for 2 years. It gives a positive effect on doing business and acceptance of the client against him. Meanwhile, according to Amy Smith-Pike, Marketing Director of Durrette Bradshaw in Richmond, Virginia said that the lawyers should look neat and attractive, especially to young associates don’t dress like undergraduate student who is quite simple with a shirt and casual pants. Because sometime when they encounter a situation in a conference, they may be faced and talking to the director, client or prospective client's.
