Back to School Fashion Shows Who You Really
Are
Going back to school is an exciting time. It’s
fun to see the back to school fashion and the changes that
everyone has made over the summer.
People express themselves in many different
ways. We can use words, symbols signals, gestures and we also
make use of fashion to tell the world what we want to say.
It is interesting to observe the back-to-school
fashion preferences of people. When we dress for the day, it is
like we are proclaiming our mind-set for that day. Some people
believe that the back to school fashion preference of a person
shows who he will be for the whole term in a nutshell. That may
be carrying the physiological-back to school fashion connection
a bit too far, but its fun to think about.
Back to school fashion has several types of
interpretation. There are those people make great changes, some
who wear only what others in their group are wearing, some who
make no changes at all, and many who fall into more categories.
And those interpretations can be very revealing.
As for those people who wear practically the
same thing they did in the last term it could be an indication
of little to no personal growth in the past term. This might be
an indication that the person did not grow psychologically or
emotionally in the past year. If that person had been wearing
the same fashion for more than five years, it might be an
indicator of a serious problem.
On the positive side, it could be that this
person has matured enough to have found his or her own
identity. This type of back-to-school fashion could indicate
that a person is already perfectly happy with the image that he
or she presents and that there is no urge to change. It could
also be suggest that this person had a great past year and
wants to recall that year.
Then there are people who make big changes in
their back to school fashion. Perhaps this person has
experienced an epiphany or a big change in back-to-school
fashion could mean that a person has reached a new level of
maturity.
On the dark side, a person could have suffered
from an event so tragic that the person to discarded his or her
old persona entirely. A drastic change in back-to-school
fashion could be akin to a person screaming, “I am not who I
used to be. It will not happen to me anymore!”
There are those whose back to school fashion is
based on what a certain group is wearing. This can indicate
social acceptance. A person who has this type of back to school
fashion shows that he or she is sociable and knows how to make
friends with at least a certain group of people. However, this
could also be an indication of a lack of initiative. People who
dress the way others do may do so because they don’t really
have any idea of what to wear. They let their groups decide
their fashion because without the group, they really have no
idea who they are.
Not all changes are good and not all changes
are bad. That fact must be understood. Back to school fashion
can be like a mask that is worn to hide the feelings inside or
it can help to express those feelings to everyone. Try to look
past the back to school fashion and see the real person inside.
We may look different on the outside, but inside we a very much
the same.
