Clothes are one of the earliest art forms and one of the earliest image-maintaining products, expressing class, status, identity, intentions and everything else.

When people first meet, they usually get to know each other through their appearance.

The information revealed by your clothes and appearance is rich and colorful, enough to influence a person’s perception of you.

It is said that clothes are a person’s second face. They can change the current situation and predict the future direction.

Therefore, you must be careful and serious when choosing and matching clothing styles.

The clothes you wear can determine your destiny to a large extent. This is not superstition, but common sense.

1. Provocative clothing, It’s not personality, it’s contempt

With the rapid development of society, people are becoming more and more tolerant of clothing styles. It is no longer like before when people would be criticized for wearing unique clothes.

Since the concept of “freedom of dress” has been widely promoted, all kinds of niche and designer clothes have appeared on the streets.

There is no fixed definition of beauty, but there is a certain bottom line to human perception.

In reality, many people wear unusual clothing to show their uniqueness.

There may be bloody and violent pictures or curse words, and they may think that it is a display of personality, but they don’t realize that it is a manifestation of disrespect.

If one is like this when young, it can be understood that he is ignorant of the ways of the world and is carefree and unrestrained, but if he still maintains this state after becoming an adult, it is bound to make people puzzled.

This kind of clothing that provokes people’s senses will make people around you feel disgusted and disgusted, and may even make them question your mental health.

If you often wear this kind of clothes in your life, you will be rejected by your friends. If you do this at work, it will make others uncomfortable, resulting in the loss of opportunities and affecting your career development.

It is not a bad thing to want to show your uniqueness, but please be sure to pay attention to the bottom line and be clear about your true pursuit, which is the most important thing in life.

2. Unclean and tidy clothes, Not thrifty, but sloppy

Dressing neatly and appropriately is the most basic quality of a person and also shows respect for others.

No matter how you dress, making yourself comfortable is the prerequisite. However, there are always people who change the concept and use thriftiness and comfort as an excuse to go out and face the public in any outfit, regardless of whether it is clean or tidy.

Whenever someone asked her about it, she would reply that she was free and easy, or that she was a virtuous and family-oriented person.

This practice of thinking that you are shaping your image cannot convince others.

To outsiders, if you often wear dirty, unmatched clothes, it means you are sloppy and untidy.

Whether in life or in dealing with things, if you are always procrastinating, you will inevitably be criticized and disliked. Even if you have outstanding abilities, you will be hindered by your bad appearance.

If you are in an atmosphere of being pointed at and ridiculed for a long time, you will become inferior and introverted.

This lack of confidence will directly affect the display of our abilities. If we dare not seize opportunities and face challenges, our lives will become dull and without any improvement.

On the other hand, clothes are worn next to our skin. If they are not kept clean, they will inevitably breed a lot of bacteria, thus threatening our health.

To avoid being harmed by it, be sure to keep your clothes clean.

You feel happy when you see it, and others appreciate it. This is a high-quality life.

3. Revealing and inappropriate clothing, Not charm, but low-class

Previously, after various cases of women being sexually assaulted were exposed, the victims’ remarks about “inappropriate clothing” were constantly mentioned.

“You wear so little, isn’t it just to let people see you?”

“Girls should be more conservative”

“If you wear so little, you’ll be noticed.”

The person concerned was not wearing anything inappropriate. Faced with various doubts, more and more people stood up to make strong rebuttals. Freedom of dress has become a high-frequency word discussed on the Internet and has become a concept that many women firmly uphold.

It’s just that freedom of dress is to encourage girls to show their beauty, not to cover up vulgarity.

In reality, many people would walk on busy streets or pose in front of the camera under the banner of freedom of dress, wearing overly revealing clothing, to achieve their selfish ends.

There is indeed freedom in how you dress, but freedom has its limits.

Appropriate clothing highlights one’s figure, which is a reflection of charm and an expression of confidence. However, wearing clothing with very little fabric that cannot even cover one’s privacy and exposing oneself in front of others does not defend women’s rights, but rather reveals low character.

4. The more extravagant you are, the more you will go downhill

In today’s world, material life is abundant and luxury goods are emerging in an endless stream, which can, to some extent, reflect a person’s status and wealth.

However, some people still cannot get rid of the vanity mentality, and instead turn items that serve people into the goals that dominate their lives. They excessively pursue the number of luxury goods they own, resulting in a growing gap between their actual living standards.

I once saw a scene like this in a TV series where some young people were having a meal together, and the protagonist was very puzzled by the lifestyle of his colleagues who would rather eat instant noodles for a month than buy brand-name bags.

However, after this colleague bought the bag, he was reluctant to use it. He treasured it like a treasure passed down from generation to generation. Others were envious of him, and he was very happy too.

However, the good times did not last long. A new colleague came to the company and the two of them started competing over “luxury goods”.

Soon, due to her limited financial resources, this colleague became a debtor. She overdrew her credit card and even turned to online loans. Eventually, the debt was pursued back to her company. She was unable to repay the debt and lost her job.

The high prices of luxury goods always make ordinary people stay away from them. It is not because the value of the items themselves is rare enough, but because the brands have given these items too high a value.

Many people are misled by advertisements and believe that only luxury goods can demonstrate their value and taste. This is very common in the commodity age, but it does not mean that there is no problem with it.

Of course, no matter what kind of life you pursue is a personal choice, but once this choice exceeds the limit, it will affect your normal life and put you in crisis.

Material desires have no bottom and will only get deeper and deeper.

The only true inner temperament is the wealth that a person accumulates throughout his life.

This kind of temperament does not need to be packaged, nor can it be measured by money. It is a genuine priceless treasure.

A gentleman focuses on the basics; once the basics are established the way will emerge.

Only by establishing the fundamentals can we see the direction of the Tao.

5. The more exposed you are, the more vulnerable you are

Some people like to dress revealingly, under the pretext of showing off their freedom of dress and not being afraid of other people’s gazes, but most of them dress like this just to attract attention.

On the surface, they show off their individuality, but they are inferior and sensitive and need other people’s attention.

Extravagant and revealing clothes will give people a frivolous feeling. You should not associate with those who are not serious, otherwise, you will be in cahoots with them; you cannot be trustworthy if you are not steady, otherwise, you will be in cahoots with them.

Many people believe that the closer they are to the red, the more they will become, so they want to stay away from such people, let alone have the desire to continue to contact them and observe their inner thoughts.

You should know that overly revealing clothing is by no means fashionable, but rather a way to attract other people’s attention.

The looks from others are not of appreciation, but of prying; not of approval, but of contempt.

Some people may even think that they deserve it when they are hurt.

Of course, the victim-blaming attitude is not desirable, but sometimes criminals will use it as an excuse to continue to infringe on others.

Therefore, dressing conservatively is just a protective measure to prevent yourself from being hurt or getting hurt again.

Even if strange clothes can attract other people’s attention, it is only a temporary enjoyment, not a long-term appreciation of respect.

Only by maintaining elegance and propriety in your every move can you gain the trust and respect of others.

In life, we often see successful people who don’t wear any luxury goods and wear simple and elegant clothes. This is because their self-confidence does not stay in the outside world but in their hearts.

They pay more attention to the improvement of their cultivation and quality and do not care too much about whether their clothes are bright or not.

They keep themselves clear-headed at all times so that they can concentrate on the careers they aspire to and continue to prosper.

Therefore, if you want to live a steadily moving life, you must pay attention to your clothing. After all, this is the first impression when people communicate with each other. It will affect others’ initial judgment of us, even future interactions, and the direction of our destiny.

You are free to dress however you want in front of your family, partner, friends, or anyone familiar to you, but it is better to put aside your freedom in front of strangers.

A strong heart and clear boundaries are the basis of freedom.

People have different attitudes towards life, pursuit of aesthetics, and self-examination at different stages.

The good or bad of one’s fate and the level of one’s social status are reflected in the way one dresses.

The overall image will affect other people’s perceptions and change the future direction.

If life is not going well, you will harm yourself and be doomed to failure. On the contrary, if you maintain a confident image at all times, you will eventually usher in joy.
