ABSTRACT
We select dress that we’re purchasing and wearing according to the meaning we believe them to have, or the messages we believe them to send. There are some psychological consequences of dressing and dressing expresses something about the wearer. Clothing serves many purposes; it protects the wearer by enhancing safety; it protects by providing barrier between the skin and the environment; it can insulate against cold or hot conditions. It may also function as the form of adornment & expression of the personal taste and style. Body image is the mental picture we have of our bodies, has both perceptual and affective components, affects how we interact with clothes, and affects how that clothed appearance is presented publicly. Body holds significant meaning to the people as individual and as group members. Body image is a personal characteristic that impacts people appearance, feelings of worth, shopping practices and social interaction.
