Bill the Son buys good quality clothes and then takes them to a Vietnamese tailor shop and gets them altered for a better fit. (I've suggested that he talk to them about a bulk deal on made-to-measure shirts, since he loves their work.) One reason I like this is that his grooming standards give me some confidence that he won't fall for a slatternly young woman.

Grandma always told me the clothes make the man.

I'm wearing a skirt and blouse and matching jewelry for a day that features driving my kids back and forth to the pool for swim team, plus a visit to Walmart. I think wearing tidy clothes shows respect for yourself and others and for order in the universe.

Good professional attire gives you a psychological edge. I think it actually makes you behave differently. Better posture, for example. It puts you in a better frame of mind to work, sell, be energetic, social, etc.

I’m with you. I would love to see society dress nicer in every venue. I really think it affects behavior in a positive way. Of course, we’re far gone in the other direction.

Sadly too many people today have no respect for others or themselves.

I've never heard that expressed quite that way. Very simple yet profound.
