American psychologist Dr. Peter Roffo argues that psychology can often be inferred from a person’s preference for clothing colors and attire, and that this is more evident in ladies. Meanwhile, Shozo Shibuya, a professor of psychology in the Department of Human Sociology at Mejiro University in Japan, has also suggested that a woman’s choice of clothing hides many individualized psychological characteristics. A recent online survey of 5,220 women found some interesting results, from which some of the psychological characteristics of contemporary women are also reflected.
In our minds, the skirt is the iconic female garment. But the data from the survey overturned that notion. The survey data overturned the previous perception. 70.88% of the women chose pants or skirts as the answer to the question, “Are there more pants or skirts? This not only reflects the change in women’s clothing requirements, but also reflects their subtle psychological changes. Generally speaking, skirts are more feminine and feminine, while pants are more neutral.
There is a trend in modern society that women are pursuing a neutral temperament, as evidenced by the selection of “Supergirl”. In addition, women tend to work in the workplace, and they want to work like men to prove themselves with their strengths, rather than resorting to women to show weakness. So, they want to try to hide their feminine temperament, so the trouser suit, which represents dryness and composure, is naturally more popular.
In the survey, 22.15% of women never buy the same dress, and 61.24% occasionally buy the same one. This is of course closely related to the wide range of clothing styles nowadays, and at the same time, more than 80% of women are pursuing changes in clothing styles, reflecting their psychological characteristics in terms of doing things in a personal way, while maintaining their individuality and pursuing changes. These women like to accept new things, new cell phones, digital cameras on the market, they will often become the first customers. In addition, they are not comfortable with the status quo, and once the passion is gone, they will find ways to seek new excitement.
Foreign psychologists say you can also learn about women by the brightness of their clothing colors. The number of people who prefer warm and cool colors in this survey is not much different, 27.18% and 32.92% respectively. From a psychological point of view, it happens that women who like warm colors are more restless and have a sense of uncertainty about their lives. A study by Shozo Shibuya also found that women who normally love to wear high-brightness clothes are unconsciously using bright colors to compensate for the uneasiness in their hearts.
Of course, there is no absolute equivalence between women’s dress and psychology; the former is just a refraction of the latter, and the kind of clothes you choose is also related to factors such as your mood at a time and place. The first is that the first is a reflection of the second.
