To what degree does clothing influence perceived image in society?



clothes are a crucial artifact in which a society can differentiate themselves from the other societies and create some form of uniqueness. Also it’s considered as a signal that indicates certain roles into a society, such as: male and female, rich and poor. for example the quality of clothes can make a vital difference, wearing an expensive garment often give the impression of ‘wealth’ and obviously wearing a cheap garment usually give the impression of ‘poverty’.

Therefore, clothes have a powerful influences on people when they make their judgments on others appearance. That could be also associated with a basic human instinct because people are usually interested and curious about what they see externally, so clothes also play an extraordinary role inside each society because a man without clothes could be considered as unknown person or someone with out identity. In fact, (Twain.m) suggested that: ‘Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society’.

Does cloth indicate or show people's faith and morality?

Costume is a style of dress which include garments, accessories and hairstyle that often indicates a particular country and period. Costume is always one of the most vital element created by human beings , first during the Stone Age by the caveman .In fact; clothes played an essential role to indicate many stages in person’s life and driving different periods, also might be considered as a symbol that show a person’s occupation or position.

There is no doubt that clothes can be considered as a visual message which both shows and communicates different aspects both positive and negative. In fact, people usually judge and react on what those people are wearing because it often gives them the first impression about that person or reflects their rituals and beliefs.

Generally this is a controversial issue because it is often based on personal opinion or view. In fact, some people could agree with that statement meanwhile others might disagree saying people’s can not judge a book by its cover. Actually both sides have their opinion regarding this issue but also people should be aware that the substance of a person is much more important than their appearance. Moreover, sometimes I might agree with (Rogers.w): when he said: “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”.
