Can we infer personality traits from what a person wears(fashion)?

Question

So because race in North America is not a good measure for a person's personality, as it is not a choice, so there are a number of other things that come into play to determine personality, can we instead infer personality traits based on personal fashion choices?

Do people dress a certain way to reveal their inner selves, and is that readable by other persons? Or is it another personal identifier that means nothing like your skin colour?

Answer 1

clothing is an excellent way to read certain personality traits, but you have to know that sometimes they are making a concsious decision to tell you what you should be reading into their personality, but isn't really apart of their personality. example, a woman wears clothing from her ankles to her ears, she may naturally be conservative or she just may want you to believe she is conservative.

I think the best way to read into a person's personality is the old fashion way....you have to get to know them.

Answer 2

Personal traits covers the way you walk, the way you dress your self, the way you talk, the way you brush your teeth, the way you comb your hear, the way you look at people, the way you sit, the way you move and many other things which you do personally.In connection with the race, that is not considered personal trait.
If you are wearing a dirty clothes while on the city you will be known of what you are. the same is true when you do not brush your teeth, when you do not take a bath, when you do not know how to comb your hair, when you are naked ,fully naked to show all your identities, when you are laughing alone and so forth and so on.

Yep-- FOLLOWERS follow the fashions set by Hollywood and often the Rap Creeps.

VERY TELLING!

Answer 4

I actual love seeing someone who's on top of issues of themselves and does not react in anger or meanness even in situations whilst maximum people might. My husband constantly keeps his cool, and gets the better hand via putting the guy of their place with words. He by no ability swears. He knows a thank you to get a difficulty under administration almost quickly. he's stable at his interest in regulation enforcement =)

Answer 5

Sometimes it is a good indication, sometimes it is not. We all have our days where we slip on something that is just comfortable, and not our personality.
I think that a good indication of who we are is seen by what we wear on a continual basis.
In another way, maybe what we wear when we are lounging or comfortable is who we are...hmmm, good question, a real thought jerker.

Answer 6

Not always. My wardrobe reflects my personality but I have another friend that considers her work wardrobe more of a uniform and dresses very conservatively even though she is not.

Answer 7

It is far more useful to actually know a person before deciding you know anything about them. If you judge them by their shoes, you are really judging them by your ideas about their shoes, and that's probably not too accurate.

Answer 8

Yes. From your nudity and red glasses, I would say that you were quite shameless!

Answer 9

yes!
