When people meet new people, they
mostly see their first appearance. What this means
is that the first appearance such as height, outward looks, clothes and even
our speaking tone is very important when we meet other people first time.
Especially, the clothes have a great influence on first impression. In my
opinion, the reason why clothes affect a lot on formation of first impression
is that the clothes which a person wears affect his or her behavior.
First of all, they act
differently based on formality and style of clothes. That is, the designs and
colors of clothes represent certain characteristics, moods, and feelings.
Therefore, people tend to act according to how professional or casual their
clothes look. For example, for important business meetings, people wear a dark
formal suit with a simple design that signifies the official and formal mood of
the meetings. As a result, they act in a professional manner and use
sophisticated language. On the other hand, when people wear a T-shirt and pants
for outdoor activities, they act naturally and feel very casual and relaxed.
Second, people behave differently
depending on social roles that clothes represent. This is because people tend
to act in line with the expected social responsibilities and duties that clothes
symbolize. Not surprisingly, studies have shown that the number of cases of
student misbehavior, such as smoking, fighting, stealing, and drinking,
dramatically decreased after adopting mandatory uniforms. The main reason was
that students were highly conscious of the fact that people would recognize
them as minors who should not be engaging in unwholesome activities.
To sum up, people act differently
based on formality and styles of clothes. Also, they
behave differently depending on social roles that clothes represent. In this
regard, I strongly believe that the clothes a person wears have influence on
his or her behavior.
