Psychology of Clothing

[robert1986]

Is there any truth to that clothing influences psychology?

Is the color Pink( a working class man's color originally) going to invoke Empathy?

How does the way you dress effect how others see you?

I was watching YT and a guy said " when a man in a suit jaywalks others may follow because the suit represents authority and stability"

The same man found he was less likely to be hassled by police. 

Have you encountered Clothing Psychology? 

It seems that clothing, watches, Cologne all influence how other people see you.

Why is this? 

Does the clothing signify stability and that means you are stable? 

I have found out that the message clothes send doesn't always match me.

If I present a professional appearance it doesn't mean I'm more stable, but the clothes send that message. 

What do you think? 

Does clothing kind of manipulate others into thinking you may be something if you aren't?

It seems to me you are using the vanity of other people to your advantage.

What do you think when you see certain colors? 

If you saw red do you assume Ambition and Drive?

Brown, for down to earth?

"She, a History of Adventure", mentioned by Carl Jung. Said something about the colours people wear and choose sometimes reflect their psychology.

White masculine. Black Feminin.

To me the following ideally would mean: White Wedding Dress (commitment), Black suit (acceptance),  a Watch (High Conscientiousness). The colour Grey (High Conscientiousness), a spectrum of colours (low Conscientiousness)

Also masculine men tend to use white, same with women, a feminin man would tend to use black like a beatnik.

Personally I pretty much put anything on  with not giving it too much thought, more utilitarian in thinking. I've heard a couple of stories of insanely rich accountants, with holes in their vests and they'll have an expensive piano.
