Do Clothes Maketh A Man?
Weekends at home and I am all dressed in my most comfy clothes….. nothing beats t-shirts and shorts in this hot, hot weather. And yesterday, I popped over to the neighbourhood hardware store to get some items and when I got into the car, my hand automatically reached for my pair of sunglasses. Eeeeksss….one of the plastic nose pads had fallen off! I quickly looked out from the car and spotted an optical outlet among the row of shops. Yayyy...Happiesss….I then crossed the road to the shop. Walking in, I saw a lady and another youngish looking guy attending to 2 customers.
Me : Hi, I need help with this.
He : Hi, good afternoon. Please take a seat. Will be with you in a while.
I sat there for a while looking at the many, many beautiful frames on display at the counter when that young gentleman walked over and sat in front of me. I handed him my pair of sunglasses and he gave it a thorough lookover…front, back and sides…..inside and out and then remarked, “Oh, a....(name of brand)! Where did you buy it from?” I got a feeling he thought it was something I got from some pasar malam or pasar pagi or some fake branded shades or whatever.
Me : KLCC
He : I see…I see…. Hmmmm…
He continued to turn the shades over and over again in the pretext of wiping some imaginary dirt, I think, before he finally took out his tools and then changed the 2 pieces of nose pads. He then took out another piece of cloth to gently clean the shades again and at the same time talking to me.
He : Would you like to have a look at our latest arrivals, Ma’am? Besides Gucci, we also carry Christian Dior, YSL, Versace, Armani, Chanel, Fendi, Prada, Rayban…bla…bla….
Me : Thanks. I am rushing for time actually. Another time, perhaps.
He : Okie, here you go.
(handing back my sunglasses to me)
Me : How much do I owe you?
He : No worries, Ma’am. It’s free.
I thanked him again and as I stood up to leave, he reached out and shook my hand.
He : The name is Bryan. Do come in again to try out the latest designs. Have a nice day, Ma’am.
Wah…he was so absolutely sweet and polite. But somehow, I suspected that there was a tinge of contempt when I first walked in …me in my simple shorts and t-shirt and flip-flops and hair held up carelessly by a clip, and he, checking again and again to see if I am using some ‘fakeys’.
Do clothes maketh a man, they say?
And of course, if only I could look half as good in shorts and tees as this hottie, Lindsay Lohan……

of cuz it does!
let's put it this way... how would you feel if your customer came to you looking like a ahpek? wearing horrible clothings and no sense of style at all! don't you feel disrespected? and perhaps curious as if he/she isn't serious about the deal?
so what if it's a sunday, so what if it's his job to be nice and all. you would be annoyed the whole damn day too if all your customer came looking horrid.
i know i would if my models came looking horrible... immediately i'll send them back to the agency. LOL.
it's all about the presentation, even if you are a customer. well unless you are sooo frequent... then that's a different issue. you are then entitled to wear sloppy clothes. but why would you now. ;o)

day-dreamer,
I must say I was impressed with Bryans' manners ans enthusiasm. I am sure it has something to do, that this particular shop is an established family business and not one of those chains operated by I suspect, some not very qualified personnel.
Yes, I would certainly go back to check those new designs one of these days and remember not to walk in wearing shorts and tees. :)

hi daniel,
I do agree with you, that's why I suspected that it was because I wore shorts and tees. But all said, Bryan was polite to the end.
I draw the line at utter sloppiness. Even in shorts and tees, I make sure the clothes are not crumpled and looked like it just came out of the tumble-dryer and of course, I don't walk around smelling like I haven't bathe in days.
BTW, I would appreciate a reply to a nosey question I left at my previous posting for you.
Have a great week ahead, Daniel. :)

of cos important larh!!! hahaha clothes super important one` :D

I do believe that clothes makes a person. My parents always told me that. They also used to remind me not to step out of the house dressed sloppily. First impressions are important.
Having said that, I have been out in shorts (the decent kind) and t-shirt before sans the sloppiness. Just like day-dreamer, I also think you have your unique style and will look fine even in shorts and t-shirt.
Another thing I have to say is this ... nicely dressed but smelling like one who just sweated buckets is a total put-off. I came across one of two like that who came in for a job interview. I pity the consultant who had to sit through that. :)

I have seen enough in my short time here to realise that clothes can make an impression - but I also realise that impressions can be misleading !
Well dressed people need not be well do to, and vice versa.
Still, I think you should serve all your potential customers, regardless of their dressing up (or lack of).

Hi Nyonya, this strictly my personal view, its not how you dress, its how you carry yourself that matters.
I have seen SYT's/ladies in designer shorts/t-shirts or designer jeans, dresses, but the way they talk and laugh or behave in public cost them.
On the other hand, someone in a pasar malam dress in every which way reeks of femininity (no bedak sejuk) i.e. the way they express themselves, sit, or carry a conversation, no matter what language, good English or poor....will show as well receive the appropriate attention. What I mean here is 'being a lady'.
Btw, next time go try out a pair of gold rimmed RayBan Aviator sunglasses...preferably those half tint ones (sexy!)...might give Ms Lohan a run there, ha ha.
Have a great day, Nyonya. UL.

I think when a customer walks into a shop, in shorts or tee or in vera wong gown, it is still 'serve equally'..thats customer service.
You never know, that customer in shorts and tee might win the lottery the next day and become a millionaire..Ahh haaa..:P
I agree with Uncle Lee, its the way a person carry him/herself. 2 different personality with the same dressing, gives off totally different vibes :)

sometimes when I walk into those "high-class" shops here in Sydney, I wonder what goes on in the minds of those sales assistants. like, "does she have money to spend in here or not?!" then I figured, doesn't matter if I don't dress up to match their high-class shop, as long as I know that I could afford their stuff lah. even though I mm seh tak mai... hahaha! t-shirt and shorts forevah!
Nyonya... you should see my fellow volunteers in my NGO... all come for meeting so casual one. These are lawyers, bank officers, insurance agents etc. Enough of dressing up during working hours, so NGO meeting they come dressed as comfortable as possible la... yes, even t-shirt and shorts. But nobody close to looking like Linda Lohan lah... more like Linda Low Han... :)
Nyonya, with your style and elegance, even if you are in your shorts and T-shirt, ppl will respect you ^-^
i bet you look hot in your Gucci Shades :P Go Gucci Nyonya!
Lohan... hmmm... that is one troubled young lady...

presentation would made the first impression, but when you open your mouth, its a different story altogether.
bryan did an excellent job in customer service. granted, he did 'thin-slicing' u when u walked in. But his upbringing and acute business sense took over immediately.
but yeah, sometimes, it pays to wear nice nice one. can get free upgrade in MAS also.
p/s thin slicing = the ability of our unconscious to find patterns in situations and people based on very narrow 'slices' of experience

a^ben,
i agree...i agree...i like your t-shirts & all your sytlo-mailo shades....semua ada gaya mia.
jom....bila ah^ben datang KL, kita pigi shoppinggggg...
hi j.t.,
Fully agree with you. Personal grooming - neat and tidy clothings, clean body, hair, teeth and nails - all these, I am very particular about.
And yes, if garbed from head to toe in designer brands but the mouth smell like a longkang would be a total put-off too.

moz monster,
i would say that we should dress appropriately for the occasion - for work and for play. and of course, be neat, clean and tidy at all times.
ah nel,
aiyah...you wanna open private banking account, then must not wear your fung keong slippers mar.
hahahah.....
also i think, i prefer to be good looking lar...no need be flemes. :)

Hi Uncle Lee,
You are so right there. I have met many well-dressed ladies and gentlemen too, whose manners leave much to be desired. No need Swiss Finishing School or whatever, but basic courtesy like sitting properly and not peppering their conversation with all those flowery language...I have found some to be seriously lacking in these departments.
Okie, suggestion noted liao. I will definitely try out that gold-rim Rayban when I drop by the shop next and...ermm...give Ms Lohan a run for her money. **wink-wink & raise eye brow..**
Thank you so much for your views. Appreciate it very much.
Have a great week, Uncle Lee.

I tried very hard to dress up. I love good quality clothes actually but they are so expensive here!
Then the climate doesn't agree. I don't want to walk around in sweatsoaked designer wear!
So go back to the T-shirts, shorts and flipflops attire. (actually whole day in opis oledi wear enuf longsleeved shirt and pants)

I wanted to pop by your blog, but somehow, I am not able to. Me, already a blur sotong with the poorest sense of direction and you, giving me that 'round and round and touch the ground' instructions, I think I better stay put and you come and look for me here.

winniethepooh,
I believe in dressing appropriately. Say, if I am planning for a whole afternoon of shopping and more shopping, I'd go in a comfy tee and jeans and a good pair of shoes. Oh no. can't go shopping in those 3 inch heels lar. hahaha...
As for how a person carry himself/herself, this can never be stressed enough. Seen too many that made my eyes roll (behind my dark shades, of course.) hahaha...

may,
seriously, many of the high-class outlets have very well-trained and polite sales assistants and if they ever thought poorly of a potential customer, they never show it at all. and often times, it's those middle-of the-road-to-nowhere kinda of shops that have badly trained and snooty assistants. you walk in and don't be surprise that they don't even greet you "Good Afternoon, Ma'am"

nyonya,
Sadly, this is true in our society. First look at the clothes, then the person. I have so many encounters of this because I like to dress casually. :P
Well, if the sale people chose to ignore me, then it's their loss. hehe....

Hi Pi Bani,
I dunno, but if I were to attend a meeting, whether NGO or otherwise, it's good to come appropriately dressed. Just imagine the speaker/chairperson is all long-sleeved, long-pants, tie and leather shoes, I wouldn't want to sit in there wearing my shorts and tees, eventhough I MAY look as good as Linda Low Han! hahahaha....

Hi Savante,
I guess Bryan was checking out if it's a 'fakey' because reputable outlets don't deal/service 'fakeys'.
Stylo? You tell me, when we meet, okie? hahahaha...
And you know why I was attracted to your avatar, huh? You couldn't have chose a better one. hahaha....

hi las montanas,
sure, you'll have to pay for quality. pay a little bit more so that you won't end up having a t-shirt that grows in size after each wash.
same here with me...enuff of office wear for the week and weekends, i want comfy cottons.

eastcoastlife,
someone once told me, "if your pocket kosong, then dress to impress"...aisehman...kinda convoluted, ya? hahaha...
all said, i think a lot, a lot of the sales people would do with proper training in studying people and of course, manners too.

It's bad taste to look down on people based on their appearance but I think everyone does it to a certain extent.
No need to be overdressed but should be presentable if we go to 'finer' shopping places.

Yes, clothes DO maketh a man... and woman.
I can understand you dressed for comfort that day, but, there are people who dresses too comfortable 24/7. :-)
Personally, I think there is a distinct difference in dressing casual and dressing neatly. I've seen people in casual wear look good if they are neat.
Neatness speaks alot about the personality of a person. Forgive me, I watch too much profiling series!! LOL

Sadly in this dog-eat-dog world, clothes seem to maketh a man.
This is why I like to read blogs, because I see the person behind his clothes ..haha..I mean his thoughts rather than be influenced in any way by outward appearance.
There was this blind man who said :"I am not influenced by colour or clothes. I only see the love radiating from the person. " Wow!
