In addition to the thinking and decision making ability, the other distinguishing feature between humans and animals is the wearing of clothes. The initial judgement of a person can be made from the clothing of the person. One's clothing choices, grooming, personality and body language play a crucial role for successful work life. It is well documented that the way one is dressed plays a vital role for a successful career in today's workplace. Factors such as garment style, garment fit, nature of job and guidelines for dress code are important considerations while selecting the appropriate outfit for a particular job. Grooming is essential for both men and women for a successful career. A suitable clothing selection for a particular job is influenced by the job requirements, colour, design, fit and comfort. Special clothing is needed for the people working in healthcare, fire fighting, defence and other similar areas to protect from various types of threats. Hence, selection of appropriate clothing is essential both for success, personal safety and wellness.
