Have you ever thought about what message your clothing is projecting and what it says about you? Do you dress for yourself or for other people? Are you trying to fit in with your friends and with other people, or are you trying to impress someone else? What do you think your outfit today told the world about you? Can they tell from your outfit that you’re going through something, or that you’re athletic, or you’re successful, or that you don’t really care what you look like? What would you think if I told you a woman in a long white gown is coming down an aisle? You would assume she’s getting married, right? The reason you would assume this is because clothing communicates. Clothing choices send non-verbal cues about your personality, characteristics, including skill levels and capabilities. Those cues will affect how well someone listens to what you have to say, as well as how they talk back to you in return. Sloppy clothing suggests sloppy work.  If you want managers and coworkers to respect your work, show them respect by dressing according to the office’s expectations. Like it or not, strangers will make judgments about you on appearance alone. It’s easier for someone to remember how a person looked, rather than what was said.

People dress in their favorite colors to feel confident and comfortable; here is what each color could mean if you wore it;

Black - Black is slimming and timeless. Women often want a stylish black dress in their wardrobe. Black is used a lot in fashion because it makes the wearer appear thinner. Black outfits can often be seen as overpowering, and make the wearer appear evil. Villains, such as Dracula and witches are seen wearing black.

White – White symbolizes purity and innocence, that’s why brides often wear white.

Green – Green is a cool, refreshing, and relaxing color. Dark green shades are seen as masculine, and implies wealth. Brighter shades of green tell people you’re sporty, more casual, and often cheerful.

Red – Red is the most emotionally intense color. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. People who wear red want to get noticed. Often times when men wear a dark suit, they pair it with a red tie because the first thing you notice about his suit is the red tie.

Blue – Blue is one of the most popular colors. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to a job interview because it symbolizes loyalty.

Pink – Men who wear pale pink or salmon tell the world they’re confident, daring, and independent enough to sport what has previously been considered a feminine color. Women can use it to soften a dark colored suit and look more approachable. But too much pink can be overpowering. If you wear bright pink such as bubble gum or fuchsia from head to toe, you can hurt people’s eyes.

Purple – Women can appear strong, powerful, and confident in a deep purple jacket, suit, or blouse. A deep purple dressy T-shirt or button down in a very casual work environment says “I’m confident and efficient, yet not stuffy.” Men can get away with a deep burgundy jacket to give a refined yet highly stylish impression.

Yellow – Yellow tells people you’re casual, playful, cheerful, approachable, and not afraid to take risks.

Orange – Be careful when wearing orange, you have to go easy! Peaches are fine and blend well with other colors, but too much bright orange can make your colleagues thing you’re tacky and craving attention.
