Clothes

There are several main reasons of wearing clothes, which are protection, adornment, identification, status, and modesty. Although the most basic purpose of wearing clothes is to protect our bodies from environmental elements, clothing can also be used to communicate a number of things about us to other people. In this essay I’m going to do further discussion on clothing as communication, about how others forming impressions, understanding prejudice and making judgement based on our clothes and style.

Clothes are like language, can be used both for deception and expression. They can communicate a personality transparently, they can also help achieve a camouflage and carry through an illusion. Our ways of clothing make a huge difference to what people think about us.

Thus, wearing something different might be a way of changing the impression others have of you. Choice in clothing can communicate responsibility, and of course social status. However, people purposely choose different types of clothing to wear in different kind of events. Different types of occasions make different kind of views.

Dressing to impress really is worthwhile and could even be the key to success. Clothing can say a lot about you, and it can as well tell you a lot about others. Clothing can even reflect a society’s state of economy. People need to wear clothes to show our social hierarchy in our social environment. Everything we wear everyday determine which social status we fitted in, and tell people what you want them to know about you.
