It is controversial whether people change their characteristic depending on what they wear or their characteristic remain the same. In my opinion, I believe that people change not only their characteristic but also act differently depending on what they wear and my view can be greatly substantiated by the reasons addressed below.
First of all, woman wearing short skirts with high heel will make her to behave more girlish and behave more carefully. In other words, wearing girlish clothes will make a woman to be more careful compared to other who where hip hop style clothes. Of course there would be some exceptions but most women would act carefully. In my personal opinion, I believe that when women wear girlish clothes, somehow they become shy; therefore, they behave diffrently. For example, my best friend nickname was a tomboy. Her hair style was like a boy and she had never worn skirt in her life. Thus, I wanted to change her style and what I gave her as a present was a lovely skirt with high heels. And finally, one day she wore a skirt with the high heels and came to school. She was so beautiful and lovely; however, my friend was not used to wear those kind of clothes and felt so shy and uncomfortable and this made her behave more careful and behave more girlish.
Secondly, there is an image that represent each clothes. To put it again, clothes reflects some meaning to us unconsciously. For instance, a man wearing a suit, we might think he is clean and gentleman, a girl wearing a bohemian style, we might perceive her as a free person, and the bride wearing a dress represent a pure image. As we know somehow the meaning that each clothes represents, we behave differently according to its meaning unconsciously.
Some might disagree with the following reasons and I'm not saying that everyone change their characteristic and their behavior but many people tend to change their behavior and there are some exceptions. In my perspective of view, people act careful than before due to their discomfort of wearing clothes that they are not used to it and people behave differently according to the meaning of the each clothes that reflect to us unconsciously. |
