Bags are rustling and seat-belts are unbuckling as everyone starts to get out of their seats and into the isle‚ waiting impatiently‚ to stand on American soil once again.

You Are What You Wear Whoever said “clothes make a man” had the right idea about people perceive each other on the first look. Whether you like it or not‚ a big part of the first impression that we make when you meet someone depends on how you look – which is basically how you’re dressed.
