Description

Clothing is so much a part of our everyday experience that we are often unaware of the impact it has on our behavior or the behavior of others. In fact, clothing helps us to make sense of and navigate our way through daily social experiences. It influences how we construct and express our identities; how we interact with others in groups or communities; and how we as individuals contribute to the wider culture in which we live. This class is designed to help use dress to manage social perceptions of ourselves.

So we will be:

1. Gaining an understanding of social perception and dress

2. Using our understanding of dress cues to help us clarify the messages we convey through our clothing.

3. Styling 1 piece of clothing, 3 ways using a dress cues worksheet!
