A woman is walking along the street; her attire catches everybody’s eyes: she’s clothed in the latest fashion. She draws everybody’s attention, including yours, not only with her toilet, but also with conscious superiority. Are you delighted? Are you envious?
Vainly! In fact, her appearance – is an evidence of her deep inner complexes. There’s a science “psychology of clothing”, where the concept “fashion victim” – is not a popular phrase, but a clinical diagnosis. Orientation exceptionally on the last word in fashion – is a sign of heightened hypochondria, a woman’s psychological dependence on other people’s opinion, uncultivated self-respect.
According to psychologists, a man, whose costume is extremely considered (no matter which one, even a skiing one), often tries to hide his colossal diffidence and prove his value, attract attention and sometimes to confirm his superiority with the help of some attire.
All-sufficient, steady people with various interests usually dress in rather simple way, not showing off, and interest in new trends reasonably, not hunting for new labels. They feel quite comfortable wearing as old jeans, as an evening toilet (as a rule, rather reserved).

This cloth became a standard not only for exercising, but also for rest, vacation. A turn to visible simplicity and liberation means striving of well-to-do sections to “complete with poor”, as psychologists consider.
3. Grunge style. A style of “shabby cloth” gave designers a good task! They are cutting off and out, ripping up, soaking cloth in chloric acid, pressing, imitating spots and patches knowingly – they do all these things only because a “grunge” style has come into fashion. Tattered pullovers, dresses, coming unraveled, dirty jeans are sold in leading couturier’s shops and ordinary boutiques. This is a challenge to elegance, struggle with stylishness, expensive refined cloths and impeccable seams. If earlier it was impossible to go out wearing the same dress more than once, now “grunge” style praises scruffiness, as if it’s saying: we are wearing the same cloth all the time! N...
