Is it really possible to dress for success? Psychology says,
yes. There is a concept quickly gaining popularity in the field of Sociology
and Psychology called “enclothed cognition.” What this concept simply offers is
that we experience certain mental processes when we wear certain clothing. This
has been the subject of one study published in The Journal of Experimental
Social Psychology which found that we are not confined with the use of our
brains when we think. According to the study, we also think using our bodies
and when we process our thoughts, we based it on our physical experiences that
allow abstract concept association to get going. This, according to recent studies,
includes the way we dress.
In other words, what the studies are telling us is that what
we feel affect how we are dressed and how we are dressed affect how we feel. Consider,
for instance, when you are feeling depressed and you decided to dress up and go
have fun. As soon as you “dress up,” you start to feel lighter and less sad. As
soon as you feel like you are wearing something fun, you begin to feel like
having fun and your mood gradually changes. It is the same thing with success.
When you wear clothes that make you feel successful or good, your emotions,
moods, and outlook conform to how you are dressed. Hence, a lot of successful
people are always well-dress, except for a few certain exceptions in the
technological industry.
