Hiya M.B.E.,

There are some general tells associated to different modes of dress, and while they're not 100% accurate, you can pick up some useful clues. So, to that extent, it might worth considering whether the way you dress is projecting a tell, and whether that's a tell you want to project.

For example, people who dress extremely neat -- collar buttoned, tie up, everything pin-perfect -- are projecting an image of tight control. That will usually be reflected in their play. The guy who shows up in the blinding Hawaiian shirt and Day-Glo orange shorts is will often play as flashy as he dresses. And so on.

Knowing those kinds of things, you can change your dress to either project a deceptive image. Yes, these are tells of first impression, but as Al Schoonmaker says, many people won't budge from a first impression.
