Chapter 2: What is the psychology of personal style?
They seem to represent themselves as organized, as reliable, as punctual. They use fashion to signal competence and order. you want to know the weirdest fashion psychology fact I learned the other day? If someone is wearing a wristwatch, that can actually tell you something about their personality.
So a 2015 study looking at, I think over 700 people found that people who wear wristwatches are more conscientious, more responsible, more rule following compared to people who don't wear wristwatches, they're typically less conscientious and they're less likely to follow the rules. So there you go.
If you want to look good in a job interview, show up wearing a wristwatch because it signals a lot of really good things. It's just so weird how fashion and personality kind of connects in that way. Something as simple as a wristwatch, that's like a peek into who you are as a person. Two final conclusions from that same study, just because it was just such a magnificent one.
We have to go into detail on it a little bit more. People who are high in agreeableness, they were also more likely to wear less traumatic or unusual clothing. So they're more likely to want to blend in or wear traditional clothing. Obviously, they want to be friends with everyone. They're agreeable.
Anything that makes them stick out or makes them controversial is not something they're going to be leaning towards. And people who are high in neuroticism actually used clothing as a form of emotional regulation or as security blankets. So apparently these individuals are more likely to be self-conscious.
People high in neuroticism are more likely to be self-conscious and to engage in body surveillance. So they may actually use specific clothing styles to manage their body image. And on top of that, their social anxiety or general anxiety, often opting for safe choices, often opting for things that are comfortable or that avoid drawing unwanted scrutiny or judgments from other people.
all the big five and like how your measurement on that might turn the dial on your clothing choices. Essentially, it's this thing we've been repeating. What you choose to wear can be a really subtle personality cue. And now that is not permission to go and judge or assess every single person you are meeting based on this profile.
Like that must, like if they're wearing a wristwatch or if they're not wearing a wristwatch, like that must say that they aren't a kind person or whatever. These aren't rules to follow. People can very easily be outliers or shift from the norm here. It's just one singular peak into fashion psychology.

If you want to reclaim your personal style, here are four really easy ways to do it. Number one, reduce the wardrobe clutter. You know those pieces that I was talking about that we own and we would never wear?
um but we just keep them because they're cool or because we bought them because they were like the trend and like we want to be the kind of person who's going to wear them but we don't for me it's like this big fluffy hat and a couple other things but the fluffy hat in particular these pieces are mental clutter and they are blocking your personal style by increasing a sense of decision fatigue essentially giving you more options to consider and
when that option isn't really a true option, but you feel like you have to consider it. You feel like it's kind of there. And when you do finally choose it, you're never going to be comfortable in it anyways. So basically you're just slowing down the process of getting dressed every morning. So I need you to do a closet purge.
When you do a closet purge, what I need you to ask yourself is, have I worn this in the past three months or have I worn it at all? And if it's not something like a big winter coat or like your wedding dress or a summer dress, you know you're going to wear heaps when the sun is back up. sell it on Depop, give it to a friend, sell it on Vinted. Start not from scratch, but from your favorites.
