W: What are those books in your hand?
M: Nothing particular. Just something about color of clothes and human psychology.
W: Oh, that. I heard you’ve read a lot about that.
M: Yeah. A couple of books and several courses about it.
W: So you really believe that clothes carry a kind of message for other people and that what we put on is in some way a reflection of what we feel?
M: Oh yes, very much so.(12)People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
W: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone,(13)such as for a job interview with a prospective employer.
M:(13)True, but that’s a conscious act. What I’m talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home:(14)if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary.
W: Can you give any other examples of this kind?
M: Yes.(15)I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to prefer brighter or more dazzling colors — yellows, bright reds, and so on. And aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life.
W: Do you think the care — or lack of it — over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
M: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man’s trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are hanging down, this probably means he’s absorbed by other things.
W: Oh, very interesting. Tell me more about it.
M: OK.
