Wear your heart on your sleeve
and your
brain in your sweater.
True
Fact: Your emotional state is playing a
huge role in your outfit today. Whether you woke up feeling ready to conquer the
world or hide under a rock, the clothes you select out of your closet are a
direct reflection of your current mood, even if you weren't consciously aware
of it as you shuffled around in your closet. "Clothing doesn't just
influence others, it reflects and influences the wearer's mood, many of the
women felt they could alter their mood by changing what they wore.", this is a quote by Dr. Karen Pine, that
examined the connection between women's emotional states and what they wore.
Psychologists like Dr. Pine, there are many other
professionals who are aware of the connection between our minds and fashion
choices. Being a Fashion Designer, Make-up artist and Stylist for the past 4
year professionally, we tend to direct looks by moods and atmosphere and this
allows views , readers and others to understand and comprehend with the
character or the emotion we want to depict.
IF YOU ARE
FEELING LIKE YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY SUCKS, YOU WANT TO WRAP YOURSELF IN A COZY,
OLD SWEATER.
Below we go through five common emotions affect our
sartorial choices...so you can tell at a glance, mood-ring style, how every
girl in the room is feeling.
Mood: Frustrated
Shedding physical reminders of a bad
situation, clothes included. Often people transfer negative emotions onto their clothing.
If they go on a date and it doesn't go well, they want to direct the negative
feelings toward an object rather than themselves. Even if you haven't participated in clothes-shaming, you might have felt a
strong urge to modify your look after a hard day. Changing out of your work
clothes to something comfy when you get home isn't noteworthy, but sitting through the meeting from hell in a green dress might result in an
off-duty combo made of colors exclusively from the warm side of the color
palette.
Mood: Confident
When you're feeling empowered, you'll want to put
on something fierce. A dress that enhances the body can be
valued not only because it makes the wearer feel more confident, but also
because remembering the confidence and admiration these garments brought is
valued long after it has ceased to be worn. It's not an LBD for everyone, but the feeling it
gives is the same. It's that thing that makes you feel like the truest,
strongest version of yourself and one your brain knows has been received
positively before.
Mood: Nervous
Got a major meeting on the calendar at work? Know
your stuff backward and forward, but consider what you're wearing too. Putting on formal clothes makes us feel powerful. Wearing
casual clothes signifies a comfortable, intimate environment, but not
always ideal for being on our A-game. What counts as formal will vary person to
person, but the traditional definition would lean to tailored trousers, sharp
blazers, and classic pencil skirts and shifts.
Mood: Tired
When you're worn out, choosing an outfit can be compared to running a marathon. This is the time people are most likely to reach
toward a go-to uniform, happily removing another decision from the day. Whether
it's jeans, boots, and a sweater or a loudly printed dress, it's something that
requires zero thought. Conversely, if you want to beat the beat feeling, rely
on the power of en-clothed cognition. It's the idea that our thought processes
are affected by physical things including, yip, again, what we're wearing.
Mood: Happy
When you're riding a high, you'll naturally
gravitate toward bold looks. Everyone's definition will vary, "happy
clothes" are typically flattering, well made, and in bright colors . It's also common to see a
feel-good feeling result in a surge of sartorial experimentation. You're more
likely to try something new, be it a print you've always admired or a
silhouette that had felt daunting in the past.
So the next time you get dressed in the morning, take a look in the mirror and examine the reflection. You wearing your emotions for everyone to view... so choose wisely
