Don't Judge A Person By Their Looks

Clothes are everywhere.
You may not be interested - or they may be the most important thing in your life - whether you're a fashion-concious kind of person, or a I-Really-Don't-Give-The-Foggiest-About-Clothes kind of person, everyone wears clothes. Otherwise we'd be going around a little like this..

That's an image from the story; The Emperor's New Clothes.
We don't want that.
So whoever you are, you wear clothes, whether you like it or not. Over the past 100 years, fashion has evolved. It's gone from...

To this...

To what we typically have nowadays...

Everyone has different styles - some may prefer a more laid back jeans and a t-shirt look, whilst others like the prom dress and converse kind of style.

My style's quite quirky. I'm the sort of lacy dress plus boots girl, the jeans and a lacey top girl, I don't dress to impress, and my style's different to other people. I don't wear make-up, but out and about you'll see lots of people that do.

Now, let's look at how make-up has evolved.

So that was Victorian. We can see very simple lipstick, and not much else.

Then let's take a look at around 1950ish...

We can now see a more shiny, red lipstick, plus eyeliner and mascara. 

Finally, modern days...

We can see bright lipstick plus gloss, blusher, foundation, mascara, possible falsh eyelashes, eyeliner, eyeshadow and so much more.

So, you see, the world's fashion and make-up has changed drastically. Everyone has a different look, something that defines them as unique, something that makes that person who they are.

Clothes are an expression of who you are. A hint into your mind, your feelings, who you are. A person can be completely guessed by their clothing. People are obviously judged by what they wear on their faces and bodies. Let's take a look at the image below. Who do you percept this person as from what they wear?

We automatically think - black hoodie - dodgy. We don't know anything about this boy. He could be anyone - there could be a perfectly rational reason why he's wearing this hoodie - but clothes and make-up send messages to our brain, like with this boy - trouble. Let's take a look at another picture.

From this picture we see glasses, braces, cheesy smile, white shirt, no make-up and pigtails. We think geek, clever girl with no social life. Am I correct? 

So, you see, perceptions of characters and personalities are judged on all sorts of things, looks particularly. What you wear makes a big impact on what people think of you, like it or not. Nowadays, what people see is what they expect to get. A blonde girl? She's an idiot. A boy with long-ish hair, who sings and hangs out with girls? Automatically Gay. A girl who wears black? Emo who self harms.

The blonde girl could be an A* student at Oxford - it just so happens she has blonde hair.

The boy who's apparently gay could be the next big superstar - maybe girls just understand him more than boys who tease him.

A girl who wears black could be mourning the death of someone she loves most, or maybe black's just her way of expressing herself.

The message I'm trying to get across to you is this; Don't judge a person by their looks.

It defines WHO YOU ARE."
