Before starting physical appearance we have to understand about nonverbal communication. Actually communication without words called non-verbal communication & physical appearance is one of the most important part of this theory.

Physical appearance is important type of nonverbal communication. An individual with form a first impression from a latter’s envelope, stationery, letterhead, color and size. The format, neatness, and language of a written message send a nonverbal message to the reader.

Your written application letter and resume are judged by their appearance and correctness, perhaps beyond your other qualifications for employment. Your appearance and actions during an employment interview are likely to be far more important than your words. 

The physical appearance of a speaker influences an oral message as much as the appearance of a letter influences written messages, listeners use physical appearance as a clue to the speaker’s credibility. That is why a sloppily dressed salesperson will find it different, if you impossible, to sell expensive clothing. 

People respond to others on the basis of their physical appearance. For example, a person who wears designer clothes and expensive jewelry will transmit a nonverbal messages. This nonverbal message will be perceived differently by the receivers, depending on the occasion for which the individual is dressed.
