I think there are arguments for and against.
Beauty is only skin deep.

The clothes make the man.
Any reservations I may harbour regarding this is easily outweighed by the enthusiastic support I receive from the women in my family. I never thought myself badly dressed, but my mother and sisters certainly do feel there is room for improvement.
I moved to Australia with a suitcase and a large backpack. This barebones packing forced me to leave most of my clothes back in Canada. As a result, I feel I already dress better on this continent since I don't actually even have access to all the grubby clothes I used to lounge around in.
This past week, I've taken on another clothing initiative, which seems to be providing dividends. I've decided to wear more sport coats. My default when I needed a warm long sleeved garment used to be a hoody. It is now a sport coat.
It's a surprisingly versatile thing, and I must say I feel a bit classier. Much classier even.
