Can the way you dress affect your health? Some experts say it can. Sure, dressing inappropriately for the season can lower your body’s immune system, but that’s not the only way your wardrobe could affect your health. Nor is the physical aspect of health the only concern. You have the same constitution as any other human being. Your body responds to the same stimuli. If you neglect certain parts of what makes you who you are, you open yourself up to a lot of negative things. Whether you do it consciously or not, the way you dress tells a story about you. It lets people know how you feel both mentally and physically. If you feel good about yourself from a physical stance, you’ll tend to wear clothes that show off confidence and an aura of good looks, which will help keep your immune system healthy. However, if you don’t feel good about your physical condition, no matter what you wear, it will show a feeling of wearing clothes to hide in plain sight; and that can suppress your immune system.
It goes even further than that. Studies have shown that wearing certain fashions has the ability to change your mood. Dark clothing tends to represent a sad image. Constantly being in an environment like that can have a negative effect on your state of mind, and the mind plays a big role in your overall health. This is the reason why hospital rooms are a certain color. The different shades are known to help the body heal due to the positive state of mind they put you in. There are many critters out there that wage war against your body to move and cohabit with your normal system, but when your immune system is healthy, it protects from attack; sometimes without you noticing. However, if you do things that affect your mental health, it has been proven that you weaken your immune system by your own hands; facilitating the invasion of microbes. A brooding style of dress will do more than make people perceive you that way. It also makes your body react accordingly.
What’s more, when those you meet think you’re looking under the weather and continually ask if you’re feeling bad because you’re looking down, your body will eventually assume the role of being sick. And whether it’s a microbial disease or a mentally induced one, they feel the same way. Knowing this should encourage you to be more careful in how you present yourself when choosing your wardrobe. You tend to become what you visualize yourself to be. If you constantly surround yourself with outfits that represent a sunny disposition, your attitude is more likely to match that appearance. The saying birds of the same feather flock together is totally true. You should consider your clothes like your feathers. The feathers are not what the bird is, but they grow from the bird and are therefore an important part of what the bird is. Likewise, your clothes are chosen by you and give an impression of who you are.
So if you want to present a healthy personality, it would help to make sure that your clothes match your interior or at least match the way you want to feel. If your outfits cause people to return negative stares and stares, you are the one who takes the brunt of those stares and they have an effect on you. The more you bombard him with it, the more it wears down his overall health. Another way to improve your overall health with your outfit is to buff it up a bit and get viewers the attention you want by wearing clothes and accessories that put you on a higher level than your peers. Instead of wearing something commonplace at casual or dressy, why not push the barriers a bit and add a little flair to what you’re wearing? Instead of just wearing a shirt, add a light scarf or ascot tied around your neck. Instead of choosing the normal tucked-in shirt with suit jacket and slacks, wear something that has an extended cuff and let the tail of the shirt hang below the jacket over a pair of designer jeans. It is sure to draw a few glances accompanied by admiring smiles. That alone can boost your immune system.
