 We discussed yesterday how a law firm that is decorated as if it never loses a case often is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why doesn't the same thing apply to dress? Earlier, we discussed how not all lawyers wear the expensive suits, and not necessarily by choice, but because of image concerns. Why do some trial lawyers wear flashy suits and others strive for more modest ones if they all want to deliver the message that they never lose a case? Why doesn't the conspicuous consumption/waste appear to apply as neatly to dress?
