Summary

This unique book provides scholarly and practical knowledge on the social-psychological aspects of dress image. It identifies exactly what clothing characteristics to look and how to proceed in building wardrobe. Focusing on individual creativity and flexibility, the read is asked to answer questions such as: What would work for me? Why? and How?, rather than approaching wardrobing from a do/don't or always/ never perspective.
