Like it or not, you will be judged by what you wear. Creative professionals have more latitude, but the key word here is "professional" rather than "creative." You can be one or two shades more trendy than your clients. If your client is a banker, lawyer, or accountant, you will be dressing more conservatively than when you meet with a restaurant owner, hair stylist, or photographer.
If your clothes are worn out, your eyeglasses from another era, and your hair is a mess, how can anyone trust you with their graphic design? Attention to detail is what sets the excellent designer apart from the mediocre. So show that in your appearance.
Dressing well does not have to mean spending a lot of money. A few quality separates that you can dress up or down is all you need for meetings.
