The influence of clothing style on emotions and behavior

24.06.2024 15:51

The colors in clothing really do affect the mood and confidence of its owner.

There are known cases when the undressing rooms of sports (fighting) clubs (and not only) are painted pink.

This is the color of the greatest tolerance. And on the other hand, in bright, black-red-yellow tones, when it is necessary to mobilize the maximum forces and energy in team sports.

But there is something important besides the color scheme. Fashion trends, concerning style, influence people's behavior, forming perception, desire and, ultimately, decision. According to a well-known fact, clothing is the main way of self-expression, as well as a sign of belonging to a certain social group.

Good clothes - presentable, respectable, comfortable and in season, regardless of the occasion, never hurt, and vice versa - they will keep a person confident and lift his spirits even in a difficult situation, says psychologist Andrey Kashkarov .

And, of course, men and women have different attitudes to both color harmony and the overall importance of choosing a style. However, there are different people and situations.

In 1823, in a box at the Imperial Theatre, the following dialogue took place between the maid of honour of Empress Elizabeth Alekseyevna, Princess Anna Belskaya, and her mother, Princess Belskaya, who looked back at the whispering of the young people:

Daughter: Princess, the stage is there (pointing to the stage). Mother: The stage is everywhere!

This example very well shows the importance of appearance and circumstances when you can be watched by different people with direct and/or hidden intentions.

The Reason Why Clothes and Accessories Are Important

In some circles, groups and cultures, clothing is a symbol in our world. A symbol that defines belonging to a certain group or worldview.

Even with appearance, clothing, behavior style, gestures, hairstyle, beard shape, tattoo or tilt of the head – a person talks to the world, to the society that surrounds him. That is why it is undesirable to lose sight of what you can “read” in another person before you have even entered into communication with him.

However, clothes, like an expensive suit, need a corresponding accessory. In this case, it is the real behavioral reactions of a specific person. Demonstrating his status, competence, confidence and even strength.

You cannot know in the morning exactly what will happen in the afternoon. But you can meet a potential and promising partner, a woman you will like unexpectedly. "God works in mysterious ways."

As is well known, people are judged by their clothes; yes, this is a misconception, but a persistent one. Make it a habit to look your best. In addition to what has been said, this gives you confidence, respectability and charm. Even if nothing has happened, you feel “on top”, even in a difficult situation.

Useful tips

Sometimes a style is not appropriate for a particular situation. You can shock or shock the audience like "Crocodile Dundee" in the famous Australian-American action comedy of 1986 (directed by Peter Fayman).

He showed up at a respectable gathering wearing cowboy boots and a hat. But despite the fact that the outerwear elements were chosen impeccably and in accordance with other circumstances, he did not receive criticism. On the contrary, people considered the extravagant look to be self-expression. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to have backup options in clothing.

The rule corresponds to modern requirements, but to the style of generation 3.0. It is promising and adds independence – in business terms, do not put “all your eggs in one basket”.

A modern person wants to work for four employers and receive four salaries from four ends, but to do it in such a way that others do not notice it.

The prerogatives are maximum freedom and play (in the concept of development "if you want to be happy for a day - get drunk, for a month - get married, and for the rest of your life - play"), but this does not mean that modern people are infantile. They want to play not at the cost of success, but in success, and to achieve success.

Therefore, for the financial independence of a man (and a woman) this is extremely important. It is important to take into account changing priorities. Accordingly, they select a wardrobe.

It's not just the style that matters, but also the actions

In addition, quality and harmony in outerwear are important at the first moment. Then, what you do or say after you open your mouth is no less important. An ill-mannered or rude person, as well as a tongue-tied person, is always visible. Although there are many who, without being able to speak beautifully, nevertheless act beautifully.

Listen and, above all, look into the eyes

Regardless of status, an open look demonstrates confidence in one's strength, position, and encourages trust. A wandering or "running" look is definitely interpreted as deceitful.

Speaking before you are asked is bad form. Unfortunately, it is a typical phenomenon. Rarely does anyone like an annoying person who acts like a sales consultant in a supermarket (retail chain); his intentions immediately show the desire to "sell", that is, to complete his task without taking yours into account.

Today, in general, they talk a lot. Perhaps wanting to confuse. This is traced by an experienced man as nervousness, dependence, self-doubt, weakness, or the intention to deceive.

On the other hand, there are not many interested listeners who want to understand (and not answer at any cost); there is a shortage of them in modern society.

Being an attentive listener, and not a herald of nonsense, is good manners in your favor. There are few of them. This already disposes a man - regardless of who is in front of him - a man or a woman.

A sincere look in the eyes adds trust and encourages cooperation.

Don't shake hands while sitting

In many cultures, a sign of respect is a standing handshake. Especially when the person approaches you. No matter what your status is, you cannot know (there are no prophets among people) who will be in what status tomorrow. Therefore, it is reasonable to stand up to greet, showing respect.

Even without knowing a person, until he has insulted you with an action or offended you, you should see him as an equal man. Underestimating him is a mistake. For the same reason, you should not extend your hand for a handshake in a glove.

This style is typical of the military of past centuries and has its basis: throwing the glove was regarded as a challenge.

Honesty of intentions and self-confidence are determined by an "open" hand, the appropriate posture (standing), you can nod your head as a sign of greeting - this is not weakness, but an illustration of dignity. A man who does this, regardless of his status, demonstrates his openness to contacts, dignity and respect for his partner.

Confidence and strength are regular sports

Exercise at least 4 times a week. It is advisable to do workouts (depending on your condition) daily. Lifting 20-30 kg weights 100 times, or if you don't have any, any equivalent, such as a filled water cooler jar (with a handle) is something almost everyone can do.

The same applies to push-ups from the floor or arm swings up to 2000 times - in any room, and swimming in the pool in the morning.

In each case, a man, doing sports systematically and to the best of his ability, maintains his tone, and this is reflected in his activity in all matters - during the day. This "energetic" method is useful for literally everyone, regardless of age and status.

With such additional "accessories" to your clothing style, you will not have serious competition in the competition for "personal" or public goods - no matter what you do.
