Just as a Buddha statue is adorned with gold for splendor, a person's appearance, particularly through clothing and grooming, plays a significant role in how they are perceived and can enhance or even compensate for other aspects. It emphasizes the importance of outward presentation.
他虽然能力一般，但每次出席重要场合都打扮得体，给人留下深刻印象，真是佛是金装，人是衣装。
Although he has average abilities, he always dresses impeccably for important occasions, leaving a deep impression on people, truly embodying the saying that a Buddha relies on gold and a person relies on clothes.
