Have you ever wondered that the right clothes can change the way you feel? 🧐🧐
Clothing directly affects our mood, attitude, and confidence. It can enhance our psychological state and improve our performance of tasks. We can achieve more when we feel we are dressed for the occasion.🥹😅🤪😒
Fashion can be as detailed and diverse as our personalities, so the way it affects our mood can be equally as complicated. But it often boils down to three main things: color, materials, and style.
The impact of colour on our mental state is well documented. Colours can evoke a range of emotions. They can make us more cheerful, alert, anxious or relaxed (to name a few), so it makes sense that the colour of our clothes influences how we feel too. Different colours can have different effects on the brain. For example, red tends to be the most stimulating colour and has been found to improve performance on detail oriented-tasks.
The fabric of our clothing is also important. It might seem obvious, but if you’re wearing soft, comfortable garments, you’re much more likely to be in a positive mood. You have probably noticed if you have ever worn a very cheap fabric, some of them may actually itch your skin or feel uncomfortable or hot.
Although the style is unique to each person, certain looks can influence how we perceive ourselves and others. Studies show that when given a doctor’s lab coat to wear, people will perform better on attention-related tasks; people who wear suits tend to feel more powerful and be better negotiators, and when someone wears athletic wear they are more likely to exercise.
