That won’t stop folks from throwing in their two cents about what it is that you call clothing. And sometimes, they might just be right. No, it’s not you. It’s the clothes. Sometimes they are just impossible to justify and defend. I mean, look at them. You can’t even say they’re haute couture. Not sure what to call them. You decide. But clothes have evolved since man’s first decision to use a maple leaf. In fact, it has moved beyond functionality and has become a lot of many things. It is clothing that imposes an impression upon others and it influences how you feel about you and how others will behave towards you. Dressing business casual and dumpster fire attire is definitely a testament to it in a job interview. Just like the peacock unravels its vibrant fan of a tail, similar behaviors can be seen in a number of species, including humans. But instead of their nonexistent tails, they use clothes to increase their chances of becoming a specimen in discussion on the Discovery Channel. The same works the other way, mind you—you can use clothes to blend in. Just think about it: whenever you see round, black-rimmed glasses, you will likely think of Harry Potter; whenever you see glass shoes, you can’t help but immediately associate them with Cinderella; and whenever you see a red cap with an M on it, bam, that’s Mario. For instance, the color black is associated with power, mystery, and professionalism, whereas red is passion, intensity and aggression, yellow is happiness, optimism and youth, blue is loyalty, stability, and tranquility, and green is healing, success and hope. There’s more, but you get the point. According to them, for a formal look, go with dark colors and minimal accessories. For casual, go with bright colors, loose fits, and a single yet outstanding accessory. If it’s edgy you want, mix and match colors, fabrics and shapes that are bold. Lastly, strong, bold and representative clothing might have the added bonus of showing off your power as an individual, but if it’s unique you want, prints, weird shapes and unorthodox accessories from boutiques might do the trick.
