Clothes

Facets
Miniskirts for the husband, business suit for the boss, and twinset for mom? Only gray suits, blue shirts and red tie for business? It is rare to find a person who chooses clothes only to satisfy herself. Is it possible to preserve the individual style and please others? A crystallized image of ourselves is a trap. There are more facets of ourselves in each one of us than you imagine. To be in touch with them can make life more pleasant and more adventurous.

Clothes are the visible part of the self, or better, of a part of the self. Clothes are the words and style is our individual way of expressing ourselves. Every time we dress we invent ourselves. Clothes provide others with clues on our personality, can diminish or increase the degree of intelligence, of success, of being desirable, of being personal. Our way of dressing can also attract the persons who dress in a similar way. When we know exactly which clothes and colors we need wear and which to avoid, we have a good piece of the know how that enables us to emphasize certain characteristics and improve the whole look.

Consistency
It’s important to have consistency in all the elements of the image. The power of the principle of consistency has been largely studied by sychologists, and it’s a potent weapon of social influence. If all the clues we supply are consistent among them, they become valid and our image will be perceived favourably. What's more, our style will be a very clear indication of our individuality. Clothes, therefore, help us play the part.

Power
In essence, to know how to dress projects power, power to face the world, to conform or to stand out, to manipulate what others think of us. Even if the choices we make can be influenced by the work, the husband, wife, boyfriend or by other people, what’s really important is to dress to please ourselves.
