Why Clothes Matter


Why clothes are important?
In the past, others chose our clothes, our parents chose a shirt for us, the school imposed a specific color for our pants
But at some point we had the opportunity to discover ourselves through clothes
We have to decide for ourselves the colors, the neckline (for the dress), the harmony, the colors, the designs, the fabrics and what suits or does not fit with what
We learn to talk about ourselves in the language of clothing
Despite the possibility of feeling ridiculous and overstated by the fashion industry
A closet is a serious and meaningful work
Based on our looks or backgrounds, others may come up with quick and simple judgments about who we are
The sentences are often incorrect!
They may assume, based on where we descended from, that we are arrogant, perhaps even resentful
In view of our work, we may be characterized by excessive seriousness or superficiality
When we are very athletic, some may think that we are not smart enough
Or that our association with a particular political vision can be seen as serious and debilitating!
Clothing gives us a great opportunity to correct these assumptions
When we wear clothes, we act, as tour guides, to show people around us to show them ourselves
We always highlight the interesting and attractive things that are expressed by us
In the process, we erase wrong thoughts about ourselves
We act as painters, drawing their own portraits, in order to direct viewers to understand them as they may be
In 1961, the British painter Peter Blake painted himself wearing a denim coat (a kind of strong cotton) and jeans and sneakers
He intended to question the vision that his contemporaries would have seen
Based on their knowledge of him as a successful painter, but also as a thinker
He may have been seen by others as somewhat conservative, very refined and isolated from the normal life of ordinary people
But his clothes here speak of different aspects of his personality
She struggles to tell us that he is very humble, that he is interested in talking about “pop” and that he sees his art as a kind of manual work
His clothes, like our clothes, give us a very specific definition
This explains the funniest phenomenon, as we spend much less time thinking about our clothes when we are with friends
Compared to our concern about what we wear to get the admiration of outsiders
With good friends, we may meet them wearing “robe” or quickly wear any old jacket
They already know us and do not depend on our clothes for our understanding!
It is a strange but profound fact that certain pieces of clothing may appeal to us
When we wear or wear them we are thrilled and admired
A coat of a certain style, a good-quality shoe or an ideal shirt may look sexually provocative
We can often dispense with a person wearing these clothes
It is tempting to consider this kind of “fetishism” simply misleading!
But it alerts us in an inflated way to a more general and more common idea
It is that certain clothes make us very happy!
It picks up values ​​and tries to get closer to them
The sexually stimulating component is only an extension of a more general and understanding understanding
The French novelist Standal wrote: “Beauty is a promise of happiness”
Each piece of clothing can carry a different promise of happiness
We may see a desirable kind of merit and trust in a pair of shoes
Or see generosity in a woolen coat
Or a pathetic touch in a dress
The bond of an hour may shorten the meaning of dignity
The way in which the neck collar surrounds may indicate dominance and domination
Classic “fistici” may harden his body in certain parts, but restrict himself to a certain type of clothing
But he is trying to hang on to a public cause
Dresses embody values ​​that intrigue us and deceive us
By choosing certain types of clothing, we support our most fragile and primitive nature
We communicate with each other who we are and remind ourselves in the long term
Our wardrobes contain carefully selected lines from our autobiography
