Clothing – a Window Into The Personality of a Person

Wearing those fear kit made me feel clumsy and uneasy. As soon as the dress, sailor collar and white knee socks could be empty off they would be replaced by my liked pair of jeans and i would return to being me again. This surely made me realise very early on; the worth and the impel of dressing. 

We all love to people watch, i am sure of it. Isn’t this why the taken cafes are commonly the ones that are find in prime people seing site? How many times have you modestly looked at a person and think the type of life they might lead, what they might do, where they are going or where they are from? 

When you regard the reduce amount of data you have about the odd you are seing and the fact that 80% of that odd is most likely to be encase by dressing, their choice of dressing surely plays the much, impel on your end, be them right or wrong, then of course there is also their facial word and features. 

Sherlock holmes, albeit an totally fanciful nature, solved many a epiphany by relating clues in the dressing of his doubt. Holmes was most discerning of a persons dress, he would always note the style and rank of a buyer dressing. In the short story ‘the blue carbuncle’ holmes has only a beat old hat for a clue, yet he was able to make exact discount worrying its owner. He hint from the hat that its missing and new owner must be intellectually bow, well-to-do but that he had fallen upon evil times and had try a moral retreat. The text below is taken from the blue carbuncle and opens with watson’s wonder at his masters’ conjecture:

“this hat is three years old. These flat brims curled at the edge came in then. It is a hat of the very best fine. Look at the band of ribbed silk and the superior pading. If this man could afford to buy so costly a hat three years ago, and has had no hat since, then he has surely gone down in the world. “

“here is the prudence,” said he laying his finger upon the little disc and loop of the hat-securer. “they are never sold upon hats. If this man neat one, it is a sign of a sure amount of prudence, since he went out of his way to take this safeguard versus the wind. But since we see that he has broken the springy and has not worry to replace it, it is clear that he has less prudence now than previously, which is a clear proof of a tiring nature. 

(the dare of the blue carbuncleby sir arthur conan doyle, 1859-1930)

For all the cause above and many more, we can surely infer that ‘dressing’ has far bigger a role to play than the oxford wordbook would have us believe; ‘fact worn to cover the body’. It is my belief that dress are so much more than simply a hiding for our mass, they are a way we can transfer how we feel, how we want to be see and most pompous they set trust and this is why i love fit, it simply evokes this groping in me.
