Does a CISO’s appearance and sense of style matter?

Random question, but I’m curious what people think. As a CISO, do you think it’s important to know about fashion, dress well, and generally maintain a polished appearance?

Does the way a CISO looks and presents themselves have any impact on how people perceive their personality, leadership, credibility, or authority? Or is appearance basically irrelevant as long as they’re good at their job?
