Does image matter

As children we learn to “never judge a book by its cover.” When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions how they look.

People make decisions about us based on their first impressions, learning to visually express who you are. People make assumptions (odhady) about your personality, habits, tastes, social life and friends. We can highlight specific characteristics through wardrobe.

Clothes are a nonverbal form of communication. Every man or woman has own sense of style. That is why it is said that clothes make the man. Yes, it is true. Clothes really make the man. Nowadays image is everything. What you wear sends out a signal to others about your image - how you feel about yourself. When we look good, we feel good. We can send positive or negative signals to other people.

Clothing today consists of many parts. We can often have dressed ten pieces on. Of course that depends on the weather. Climate we are living in has four different seasons. And that means there are seasonal clothes. Of course you can not wear winter clothes in summer as well as you can not use summer clothes for winter. We can differentiate four types of clothes.

I start with summer clothing. It is usually very hot in the summer so you need light and comfortable clothes. Women wear short skirts and tops or dresses. Men usually wear some shorts and a t-shirt or a short-sleeved shirt. Another thing in summer is wearing swim suits. Nowadays there are so many different types from bikini to bathing trunks. It is very important because in summer you spend a lot of time on the beach and it is important how you look. To sum up, in summer all you need are simple light clothes. As the weather changes and its getting cold outside the clothing has to change too.

In autumn we usually wear trousers or jeans that are easy to upkeep. But it is also important to have a coat or a jacket because it often rains.

In winter you need clothes that can keep you warm and dry even if it snows outside and the air temperature is bellow zero. That means you need coat or jacket to protect you and a warm sweater. You also need warm underwear and some knee-socks. It is also good to have a pair of gloves and some cap and a muffler.

Spring clothing is the same or similar as in autumn.

Did you just realize how many pieces of clothing you actually need? But that is not all. You can not wear the same jumper to a football match and to a theatre. For all those special occassions you need different clothes. When going to a theatre or just out for a dinner you need to dress up. A well-dressed gentleman should wear a suit and a tie or a bow tie. We wear many various clothes for many various occassions.

To be fashionable means something different for everyone of us. Fashion is not just about modern stylish clothes, it is also about all kinds of accessories. From sun-glasses to handbags, jewellery to umbrellas, hats to belts… And it takes a real feel for the fashion to know how to accessorize. Attention to detail takes your wardrobe to the next level.

There are several fashion rules, for example you should wear no more than one necklace or chain. You should not mix too many colours in your outfit and of course you should not wear white socks to a suit. Especially the young people have a sense of style. It is important to look good and always have some nice clothes on. Well, today image is everything.

The first impression is always vital. And nothing helps you to make good impression better than nice and clean clothes. It really is important what you wear, and no, what anybody says. That is why I am trying to be well-dressed in every situation. The clothes would be comfortable and you would feel good. Because you can look amazing but when you feel like you are going to die, it just makes no sense. That is why I usually wear some jeans and a t-shirt or shirt. Another important thing for me is shoes. They have to be comfortable, but they have to look good too.

If you really want to make a good impression, you need more than clothes, you also need good hairstyle, modern accessories and a lot more. That also belongs to fashion. To sum up I really think fashion is important in our life. After all, clothes make the man.
