If communication has no words, wich tools are used to make a speech?

We saw that through the body we can express our thoughts, receive and create new sensations. In fact the body becomes a support for our gestures and clearly, for our clothes. When we join both, gestures+clothes, we gain a style, that is expressed through colors, textures, forms, etc.

Independently if the reason we dress is physical necessities, culture construction or aesthetic, one dresses and behaves since experiences that they had. Not only experiences define our preferences, experiences define the clothes we are going to wear, how we are going to speak or to walk, that is, all things we like is because we had good experiences and the opposite also, if we didn’t had good experiences we won’t like.

Example 1: Somebody suggested you to dress a blazer for that interview you have, you dressed. You felt beautiful, formal and confident, the interview was a success and your are contracted. Probably you will like blazers and use them to special occasions.

Example 2: You dressed a beautiful orange dress to the party, nobody liked it since the beginning of the event and you felt alone all the time, you will probably be distrustful to use a orange dress again.

So when we dress and behave, we want to mean something, that is, a feeling we had that we want to express and want to have again.

When we communicate ourselves we want  everybody to understand us, what can be difficult in body language (that’s what we are talking about), because each one has different experiences, and clothes or behavior means something different for each one.

When tzniut asks to be discreet it’s saying: “don’t call attention to how you seem instead of what you do“. With tzniut it’s not so clear for others to see what I support, so the focus goes to who are you (we have talked this before)? That is because tzniut doesn’t let you expose itself and take the risk of being confused its appearance with who are you.

So communicating ourselves without a word is easier when we dress with tzniut.
