Choosing between food and clothes, some would opt for nourishment. The others who would opt for clothes would reason out that people cannot see what you have eaten, but they can see what you are wearing. While how one dresses can create a reputation, character is not always seen in the external image of a person.

An international sports personality (SP), who is often in the country when a big money-making fight is about to be staged, caught the attention of some passengers on an international flight. Some onlookers thought SP kept a low profile wearing his ordinary jacket and loose pants. SP would have been dismissed as an ordinary and typical lousy-dressed elderly foreigner had it not been for some passengers who recognized him. SP was so approachable that some passengers posed for photos with him.

Some even thought that the way he dressed did not at all flaunt how much he is worth. With his reputation and wealth, SP was unlike other celebrities who use every public opportunity to flaunt their fashion sense even in the most inappropriate occasions, or some sports personalities who always take every public appearance to show off their bling.

While clothes sometimes make the person, fashion sense flaunts the character. Despite some sectors questioning the real deals of SP, this incident does indicate that he has good public relations.

I believe in dressing for the occasion. There's a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz. - Ginger Rogers

A Little Bit Too Much

Television Personality TP rose from the ranks to build a significant niche in the business. Starting as an ordinary employee, TP patiently worked his way up to become an influential person in the industry.

Then, TP moved from behind the limelight to being in the frontline of highly credible television personalities. With his growing popularity, TP has won various awards and recognition for his craft.

Thus, some people who saw TP in the airport lounge wondered if TP was over doing as usual so as just to project his reputation as a style icon in lieu of comfort. While waiting for an international flight, TP was seen dressed to the nines for an almost 15-hour direct flight to a city in the northern hemisphere.

While most passengers were nicely but comfortably dressed in loose pants, comfortable tops, and shoes, for the flight, TP was in a tight fit shimmery suit with details as if he was attending a red carpet event.

Some people thought the fancy suit was a little bit too much and most of all, it was uncomfortable for the long flight. However, TP is trying so hard to be a fashion icon, and he knows he cannot be caught under-dressed in public. He could have been just being himself on his way to his destination.
