That very much depends on the power dynamic. Dressing appropriately is - among other things - also a statement that you want to belong to this group. But if you're a startup founder meeting with lawyers, it might pay off to be "that super nerdy tech guy" instead of "the cool just-like-us banker doing tech".

Over the years, I've read a lot about social stuff, including clothes. Your comment makes me think of a piece I read about some guy trying to do all the power dressing, take control of the situation with body language stuff and it didn't work at all on the self made man in jeans he was meeting with. The guy either didn't recognize any of it or flat out didn't care -- and didn't need to.
