What Does Your Choice of Clothing Say About You?

Passing the time while leafing through an older women's magazine at the hairdresser's, I came across an interesting article whose insights I would like to share with you. Russian psychologist Yelena Sulima has researched and described the connection between a woman's choice of clothing and how she feels on the inside.

Baggy and loose clothing indicates a denial of one's femininity and individuality. It shows a desire to remain in the shadows, so to speak - to hide from people's gaze. A woman dressed this way will hardly be able to build a brilliant career.

By complete contrast, form-fitting clothing indicates complete self-acceptance as well as a need for the love and approval of those around her. This is how typical career women dress.

Flowing, light clothing with a deep neckline and straps - a striving for independence and creativity. It shows a desire for self-expression, to step outside familiar boundaries, to cross lines drawn by others. Conclusion - either a freelance artist or a boss.

Pronounced asymmetry and the combining of the uncombineable in clothing reveals constant attempts to change or even destroy oneself, marks an inner crisis, or the use of outer appearances to compensate for some inner pain.
