Unlike that past when clothes were just for a protection, clothes became one method for people to express themselves. In other word, clothes are an important part of people's life. However, it is more interesting that clothes could influence the way people react. This is because colors and designs of clothes provoke certain emotions.
Colors of clothes could make people feel happiness, anger, or other sensations. It is widely known that one specific color could cause people to feel certain emotions such as red could symbolize anger. In this sense, since clothes are usually comprised with various colors, it could affect behaviors of people. For example, there was one experiment in terms of relation between colors and people's feelings conducted from a Seoul University. There were two groups. People in A group were dressed up with red color clothes which symbolized anger and passion, while people of group B wore gray clothes which symbolized depression. The result was surprising. People in A tended to be more aggressive when they encountered stressful situations and people in B looked gloomy all day. Therefore, taking this experiment into account, I believe clothes could affect people's way of act.
Moreover, designs of clothes could influence people's reaction to their environment. There will be no question that pictures or arts could lead people to be derived with various feelings. For example, people who have disorders look at pictures of smiling face of babies to gain happiness. It is same when it comes to designs of clothes. In my own experience, I really like to wear clothes which have pictures of smiling face. No matter how stressful situations I encounter, I just think about my clothes. I try to laugh same as the picture. Whenever I do like that, I could smile and laugh or think positively. Even though it might be based on my own perception, I firmly believe that clothes could bring me happiness. Thus, I believe clothes could affect the way people behave.
In conclusion, clothes could influence the way people act because of colors and designs of it. Korean proverb, ' clothes could tell a lot of people' is obviously true! |
