H

ow are you feeling 
today – a bit blue or in the 
pink? Asking people how they feel 
by talking about colour seems old-fashioned 
and a bit odd to modern ears. But it may not be as crazy as it 
sounds. Psychological studies have shown that the colour and 
type of clothes we wear say a lot about our personalities. So 
what about you? What do your clothes say about you? Read on 
to find out …

According to experts, if you are into designer 
wear you are probably an ambitious person 
and may be a bit materialistic – people like 
you dress to kill. Casual dressers, on the 
other hand, are very laid-back. They live in 
their jeans and a t-shirt but can be a bit too 
easygoing and sometimes lack motivation. 
Wearers of skimpy or tight clothes like to give 
an impression of confidence by showing off 
their bodies, but inside they are often a little 
anxious. Flashy dressers tend to be extroverts, 
they are creative, outgoing types but don’t 
work well in teams. Something bright that will 
knock your socks off – like a fun pair of shoes 
or a patterned hoodie – is a necessary part of 
their dress code. Strict followers of the latest 
fashions are not the most practical of people 
but can be good planners. Despite being 
followers rather than leaders, they’ll always 
know what will be the trendiest things to have 
in their wardrobe in three months’ time. 

However, it’s not just your clothes that can 
give you away. The colours you wear make 
statements about the real you too. Scientists 
had tried for centuries to prove a link between 
colour, emotion and behaviour but none 
had succeeded until Max Lüscher made 
a breakthrough a little over 40 years ago. 
This psychologist devised a colour test that 
demonstrated a definite connection between 
colour and personality. Blue, for example, is 
for perceptive people while optimistic people 
generally favour yellow. Orange means you 
are fun-loving and brown tells the world how 
reliable you are. 

While our clothes can’t accurately be used by 
psychologists to assess what we’re thinking 
about, they can offer some evidence for 
predictions about our personalities. So, the 
next time you meet someone you like or fancy, 
bear that in mind. Take a good look at their 
clothes, as they might tell you a lot about the 
person inside them.

The rise of YouTube has also given rise to a new 
youth subculture known as haul girls. Haul girls 
shop for trendy clothes, film their shopping 
experiences, edit them for creative effect and add 
catchy tunes. It may seem a bit superficial, but 
their videos showcase a blending of their passion 
for both … .

Another youth subculture is a blending of punk 
styles and brightly coloured clothing, hair  
and make-up known as seapunk. Followers of the 
style often have hairstyles reminiscent of the punk 
era, in which they’ve shaved the sides of their 
head, or they wear their hair in short mohawks. 
Additionally, they’ll incorporate something of the 
sea into their clothing, such as … .

Since the 1980s, goths have been easily 
recognisable by their appetite for wearing black, 
sometimes scruffy clothes and having black 
hair. The music they listen to can be deep, dark

Writing – an email

Hi Jessica,
How’re you doing? It was good to see you last time you came 
home from university. 
Working in a clothes shop is great – I don’t miss school at all. 
As soon as I started working there I enjoyed it. I get loads of 
discounts on clothes. It’s also really funny sometimes. The other 
day, for example, a man came into the shop saying he wanted 
some trousers for a wedding. He went into the changing rooms 
to try them on. When he came out I realised they were really 
baggy. Anyway, I tried to tell him but he said he was in a hurry and 
wanted to pay. I asked for the price label inside the trousers and 
said that he’d have to take them off . I expected him to go into the 
changing rooms again but he took his trousers off  in the shop!
Last Saturday, while I was cleaning up at the end of the day, a 
couple of teenage girls came in. It was late and we were about to 
close but I let them have a look around. They were looking at the 
leggings when one of them took her jeans off  to try a pair on!
I couldn’t believe it. 
I used to think people invented stories like this but something 
strange happens every day. Well, you know what they say:
it takes all sorts to make a world! 
Can’t wait to see you next time you’re back. Drop me a line soon,
Take care,
Bea X
