who like to blend in with the crowd.

jewelry, a silk scarf or designer tie
that speak volumes about his desire
to fit in without disappearing into the
crowd.

successful, and perceived as
attractive by others.

The Designer Dresser

everything

from his
undergarments to his overcoat
must sport an easily
recognized label from a wellknown clothing designer.
her hair is done only by the
most expensive, high-end salon
While this style usually gives
one an air of affluence and
success, it is all too often also a
sign of a person who is
insecure, uncertain about his
personal identity, shallow and
overly materialistic.

The Goth Dresser

Sported

mostly by teens and

twenty-somethings, the look
is characterized by black
clothing, dark makeup and
jewelry that looks more
threatening than fun or inviting.

piercings and tattoos which
they display by wearing as little
clothing as possible.

angry, immature, thrill-seeking,
hostile towards authority and
depressed.

The Athletic Dresser

most

people who dress in athletic

attire like running suits, sweats
and so-called work-out wear in
public are not athletes, but simply
people who want to be perceived
as such.
wear them in order to identify
themselves with a sub-culture that
they find appealing but which they
cannot join due to physical
constraints or a simple lack of
time or motivation.
These people tend to be
sedentary, insecure and envious of
those with the ambition and drive
to achieve athleticism in the real
world

These

descriptions of clothes and

personality are stereotypical
representations of many different
types of dressers.

or more of these style types on a
regular basis and our
personalities are a mix of those
described as well.
