Generally good advice, but not universally so. I dress like a lumberjack, look like a repo man, and I'm twice tenured. If you've got the chops, it tends to not matter much how you dress.

One of my best friends in college, looked like, and dressed like, a lumberjack. If you met him in a dark alley, you'd be running scared. One of the kindest, gentlest men you'd want to meet. Brilliant mind. He too became a professor. Apparently, the students loved him. He retired a few years ago.
