what's the English or German saying that one has to dress to become some job? not "dress to impress", but more like "fake it until you make it" but with clothes?

@kaia Maybe "Kleider machen Leute"? It means that the choice of your clothes will have an impact on how people perceive you.

Based on a novel with the same name from Gottfried Keller. A tailor makes himself a rich business man by tailoring himself a nice suit.
