What Your Clothes Say About You

Before you even know a person, you often have conclusions about their personality based solely on what they wear. We are all guilty of this. But, actually are conclusions are not entirely baseless.

For example, a person who wants to blend into the crowd will not wear a loud colored and sexy ensemble. Likewise, a trendy and outgoing person would not be caught dead wearing gray sweatpants.

However, even if we do dress to match our personality there might still be some misinterpretations. For instance, sexy and trendy clothes are like you because you're a "here-and-now", "so-out-there" type of person. But, be careful how trendy, and more importantly, how sexy you want to go. You might send the wrong signals to people. They might think you have less than decent intentions regarding whatever issues.

The best way to go is to think about the given situation (say, an occasion, celebration, normal day, school day, work day, party, what have you). Next, create a wardrobe that best says who you are and what you're trying to say.

This is not to say however, that you must put others people's opinions before your own. Also, it doesn't mean that you are compromising your individuality by worrying about what other people might think. The key here is to wear the clothes the show your personality but also put you in a positive light. Incorporate pieces of clothing in your ensemble that reflect your personality - in a good way.

Apart from clothes, of course you also have to think of accessories. Even the smallest of things say a lot about you. Think what's-his-name rapper who accessorizes with, well just about anything - a wall clock, too many watches, too much bling. Sure he's a celebrity, but did he actually make it to the best dressed list? Or, going back to the real world, think of a woman who wears to many pieces of jewelry. Says a lot a bout her status right? Wear the appropriate accessories that add omph! to your get-up. Not one that totally destroys it

Bottom line, dress up in ensembles that best shows your interests, personality, and individuality instead of wearing clothing that may promote unnecessary misconceptions.
