Stereotypes Of Clothing

Back in the day women couldn't even wear a skirt if it was above their ankles. If they did wear a skirt like that then they would be shamed. But women could only wear skirts, not pants, or leggings, if they had leggings back then. If they would wear anything close to pants other people would stereotype that person and not associate with them. In today's society people don’t really judge you on what you wear, but people still do judge you. They just judge you on your attitude, but if a person has a bad attitude and dresses inappropriately, then people will judge you, and not in a good

People judged you on your identity even if they are being judged because it makes them feel better. For example in the book Outsiders by S.E. Hinton the text states “ need a haircut greaser”. In this quote from the Outsiders he is judging him by his hair and clothes he wears. Also the text states “ I have greenish gray eyes I wish they were more gray because I hate most guys with green eyes. He hate somebody because there eye color. That is an uncontrollable feature. After these statements don't judge someone on their style or on your eye color.

Our second sociology assignment was to dress deviant, and spend an hour somewhere in public, not Walmart though, and one hour in school. Most would think this is not a big deal right? Well it depends on the person, breaking the social norms, by purposely making yourself stand out can have some downfalls. For this project, I wore a girly top with pink flowers on it, very bright pink athletic shorts, bright pink and, I wore these giant Osiris shoes, that were blue, green, pink with gray accents. And to top things off, I wore sparkly eye makeup with a bright reddish pink lipstick. My location was the Ingles in Farragut at around 7pm on Tuesday, the 26th. There were quite a few people going in and out of the store, which means many people got to see this abnormal attire. I also had to spend a class period with my peers in this outfit, but of course I was the only one to dress up on that day, so I stood out a lot more than I imagined. This assignment changed my perspective on how to view others who are dressed a little strange and how social norms pressured me into thinking I was the odd one.

The modern life does not being too strict like that, but everyone is still reminding themselves to be modest. A lot of new or unique designs, modes and styles of apparel are on the market right now such as clingy or tight clothes. Nowadays, it is normal to wear clothes that shows a little bit skin or sexy and attractive garments, as long as it is not too much. We can wear a sexy, low necked, bodycon dress to an event or wear a sexy two-pieces bikini to the beach or swimming pool. However, it does not mean every woman who wears immodest clothes is an immodest person. In daily life, women should be modest at work or school, or even in the street. However, they can be a bit more attractive while going to a special event if it is not too much and they still keep their modest

Does your attire associate you with a certain race or any particular crowd of people? This is a topic that has created controversy for decades. To me, this is one of the many examples of stereotypes in today’s society.

The media is affecting the health of women and girls through the lifestyles of its celebrities, especially the actresses and models. Actresses, more often than not, starve themselves to be seen as beautiful to the public. They eat unhealthily- that is they do not eat at all, or they are always on some sort of irrational diet. With their platform, and the idolisation of their work and person is what affects the lives of the people that regard them as role models. Photos in magazines are photoshopped, making girls and women ashamed of their flaws. This problem, however, has sparked a revolution among some people in Hollywood, and they have begun to promote body positivity and a healthy lifestyle. These people, though they may not be the majority,

In this paper the author has made a sincere venture which maybe aptly called an adventure the author has taken a painstaking and arduous task of highlighting cruelty on women under the garb of Societal Norms and its horrible consequences leading to disintegration of family life and trying to suggest a solution to Domestic Violence, that is a social problem and mist be solved by both social and legal solution because not always legislation by itself can be a solution to deep rooted social problems. Although the statue passed may give the problem of Domestic Violence a little push and have that educative factor as well as legal sanction behind however as Roscoe Pound, said “What there is in the way of preventive Justice Is achieved not by legal but by social agencies. It is done, for the most part not by the agencies of law but by the social workers.”

My first advertisement is from a vintage EBONY magazine for Fashion Fair make up products. EBONY magazine consumers are mostly African-American women. The audience choice is mostly for the African-American women ages range from (19 and up). Personally, I find it hard to classify the ages because; when it comes to makeup products it varies. The advertisement captures an African-American woman/model wearing Fashion Fair makeup products (foundation, massacre and a bare lipstick). The model is wearing a bold statement necklace in what appears in her bare skin. Making a clear statement about the makeup based on model appearance. The appeal was catchy it wasn’t one that you could just turn the page on, it was eye catching. The main essential for

Almost everyone judges people from how they look. If their clothes are weird, then they must be weird; however, this isn’t true. Some celebrities wear the weirdest clothes, and people will think, “That’s really cool,” and they start a trend by wearing those clothes; however, if some kid wears some weird clothes, people will think, “They’re weird.” No one cares who this person is inside. People will spend hours in the fixing their hair or putting on makeup while they're

During the Victorian times, people were dressed to show their identity and also their position in the society. Same as their children, parents also paid the attention to the things their children wore. They were dressed exactly the same style as their parents. Once graphics that separated sexes appeared on clothing, their styles were more specific as boy 's or a girl 's clothing. So colors were used for children 's clothing is a gender symbolism, which is one thing that always be a part of the kid’s garment since that time. However, some parents at the present time are looking for the clothes that is not pushing gender stereotypes on their kids too much. It could be argued that gender in children’s clothing is slightly changing at different periods of time.

So to a considerable extent, we are able to tell a person’s mood just by the clothes he wears. Thus, clothes can be used an outlet for people to externalize and express their feelings.

The aim of this research is to find out if there are stereotypes of physical appearance especially in dressing and to find out what these stereotypes are. In psychology and sociology researches, different types of stereotyping people are found. However, these stereotypes generally depend on race, sex and ethnicity. In this study, existence of stereotyping people according to clothing styles is tried to be proved.

Before we can understand the concept that is style, it is important to understand another concept intertwined with style. This concept is best expressed by the president of Well Said, Inc., Darlene Price, who says, “"Let's be clear: In the big picture of ultimate reality, what you wear neither defines who you are as a person nor determines your value as a human being.” Essentially, the clothes and what a user chooses to wear is not what will define them, but it is rather the user who defines what they are wearing, as the person makes the clothes, and not vice versa. The reason behind this is many seem to forget that the user of the clothes must ultimately dress for themselves and do however they please with their style, and not attempt to conform to societal norms or to anyone that is attempting to pressure

Dress and appearance can be used to symbolize and convey a lot about a person. In the U.S, dress is a way that we can communicate our gender, social class, career choice, culture and much more. One of the ways we do this is through social location. Social location is a concept that we use to determine a person’s place within their community. Some components that establish and influence ones social location include level of education, socio-economic status, their race, and gender. Our social location or our “location in life” determines how we are treated and affected by aspects in society and also allows us to form different views based on the location that you are categorized as. Some factors in our social location cannot be changed such as our race, however we can change things such as our level of education and social status. We use dress as a significant indicator of what social location a person belongs to. One can establish a higher social location though dress and appearance by wearing high-end brands, driving expensive cars, portraying a lavish lifestyle through social media, having a college degree, and by having a white-collar career. Along with social location, ones status and social class can be easily communicated through dress. Our society has created a hierarchical system based on income levels, level of education and accumulated wealth. People in the higher class consist of fashion leaders and early adopters. They are known to wear the hottest trends as soon
