Any transformation that people do in their body, like for instance, the clothes, surgical procedures or just use make up, are complements that act on the gesture (body language), we try to communicate ourselves though clothing and to that some elements are necessary in order to complete our body. In this way we complete the inner-self communication we have.
I.e: You’re in a black-basic-dress and to give tone to your personality you’ll put a handsome necklace and use make up as well.
We’ve commented on our previous posts that we invest in our style to express something to the public, and this is the body language and image - but now something important to be notice is that the same clothes mean something to us as well, this is our perception.
When the reaction about the black-dress is positive, supposing that people had a formal impression, this impression not only remains to others but specially for us.
Because of that its a re-affirmation process, we get dressed to create a formal identity, it would be like that will all the clothes and also with all the expressions we know.
With who do we look like?
The moment of picking a clothe, it’s more important to think in how we are going to see ourselves instead of thinking how we wish that other people got to see us. Think on who you are!
Choosing a more subtle and discreet way of dressing it’s to look inside ourselves and to be ready to just not be another object. It’s to pick a clothe that won’t point any false impression from our personality and it will, after all, point who we really are, because the point in which the attention will be turned are our virtues and attitudes.
It’s not the image that must endure our typical traits, only through self-knowledge we will know who we are.
