Dressing to Communicate

What we wear tells a lot about ourselves without having to open our mouth to do so. Communication is both a verbal and non-verbal way of transmitting information to another.
The way we dress does communicate. It tells a lot about us. What we are, who we are, what we want to say to others and what we do.
To dress means to wear clothes of a certain style or kind. To put on an apparel to befit a particular occasion or location. The kind of clothes we decide to wear could communication gender, social status, religion, culture and many others. Wearing clothes is one issue and wearing the right clothes at the right time is another. One cannot choose to dress anyhow to any function at anytime.
What we should always remember is that the kind of clothes we wear tells a lot about us hence we cannot afford to miscommunicate about ourselves to others.
