第3章 Show Yourself穿出个性
人们常说“文如其人”、“字如其人”或“诗如其人”，意谓文章、书法和诗词等艺术作品能反映其作者的个性。相似地，服饰也能反映穿着者的个性。服饰所反映的个性是天性与角色这两个方面的结合。天性热情奔放，服饰则浓艳大胆，迷你裙、牛仔裤、宽松衫都不妨一试，披襟当风，意气风发；天性拘谨矜持，则款式保守，色调深沉，中山装纽扣粒粒紧扣，正襟危坐，不苟言笑；淡泊含蓄者喜雅洁，素衣一袭，悠然自得；好胜争强者抢占流行的前沿……展现出不同性情、不同衣着、不同的仪表、神态和风貌。

消费者对服饰的款式、色彩、图案和质地常会显示出某种偏爱，这种偏爱是个性的反映和表露。其中服饰色彩与个性的关系最为密切，不少研究者声称找到了两者之间的对应关系。服饰的个性表现与环境有十分密切的关系，某些场合和环境有助于个性化的充分表现，某些场合则易于抹杀个性。不同类型的服饰消费者，其服饰的个性化程度各不相同。服饰也被看作是认识穿着者个性的捷径。因此，有一种服饰社会心理学理论把服饰反映个性这一现象区分为表现公开的自我和流露隐蔽的自我两个不同的侧面。
