What would you wear if everyone at your school was blind? Would you still get dolled up every morning or would there be no point since no one would know the difference? I'll admit I'd let myself go a bit, especially on exam days or all nighter days. I don't think my jeans and tshirt daily attire would change much, though. I might be more daring and willing to mix and match. Overall, I think people dress up because they like how their clothing looks on them, not so much to try to impress others. This is probably more of a college mindset than in any other stage in life, such as high school or at the workplace.
Clothing reveals a lot about a person. Not all the time, but if you're observant enough you can gather where a stranger is going and their interests and personality by what they are wearing. For people you already know, you can probably guess their favorite color or what their mood is that day according to their clothing.
Dress is also an important aspect in differentiating cultures. Each culture has clothing that has a history to it or clothing that is only reserved for special occasions. Well, enough about clothes. All this talk makes me want to shop.
So what do my "thug" clothes say about me? (pondering)
