I think that how a person dresses does impact on the way we feel about ourselves as well as the impression that is made on others.
There is an interesting study on this found here:

Having said this, however, it seems as though times are a-changing. No longer are people dressing up to go to the theatre, or to church, or even to wedding functions. Even if an invitation calls for dress as "black-tie" no one is turned away because they are not "dressed properly".
On the one hand it could be said that we are moving to a healthier outlook in that we need not dress for others and that they need to accept us as we are. Are we in the process of changing the acceptable norms of society or could it be that we are simply becoming disrespectful of others (and some may say even of ourselves)?
