(NAPSA)—What you wear can have more impact on yourself confidence than you think, experts say. A recent study shows that people believe their clothes have the power to give them confidence. They think if they’re dressed “for success” they’ll be more successful. One in four people surveyed even claimed to have a “lucky” outfit. Additionally, the survey revealed that people feel less confident when clothes do not fit properly or are wrinkled. “Confidence is something we can all have. One of the easiest ways to start developing confidence is to know how you look your best,” said Dr. Judith Briles, confidence expert and author of the new book The Confidence Factor (Mile High Press). “A common mistake people make is they underestimate the ‘wrinkle effect’ —wrinkled clothes can convey the wrong message to people and erode yourself-confidence.” Dr. Briles offers the following real life advice to help develop the confidence people need: Appearance Know your best colors and mostflattering styles; * Wearclothing free of wrinkles; for a quick fix use Downy Wrinkle Releaser to remove wrinkles from clothing anytime, anywhere; Smile—it can say a thousand words.
