A costume designer once said that an actor who is new to a role needs only to put on his costume and everything will fall into place. In a way, we are all actors playing different roles at different times of our lives. So it is important to present ourselves in a positive way so that we can perform effectively.Dress in comfort. This takes practice. It takes skill and discipline to choose pretty apparel or footwear that do not also hurt our health e.g. choosing high heels that damage the back, or body-hugging clothes that are made of synthetic materials that do not allow the skin to breathe.
Comfortable clothes, however, only look smart on someone if the clothes are clean and well-pressed and more important, the person has a good posture. Here are 3 basic steps to developing good posture:
1. Sit straight (check with your hand that your lower back flat).
2. Stand upright (an easy way to do this is to gently place your middle fingers on the side of your thigh where the hemp of a garment would usually run).
3. Walk in a balanced way (a moderate swing of the arms can be achieved by having your thumb touch your first finger while you are walking).
Dressing smartly will make us act in a more confident and positive way.
