The first impression, as is known, is formed based on clothing. The right wardrobe helps achieve success just as well as a sharp mind and good manners. Psychologists claim that the things a person buys are directly related to their inner state. Therefore, the unconscious choice of certain wardrobe items can indicate low self-esteem and existing complexes.


We decided to find out what clothes indicate insecurity, and we noted 10 signs by which one can recognize a person`s attitude towards themselves.

Uniform clothing

Often people do not want to take risks and experiment to form their image. Thus, many similar shirts, pants, and shoes appear in the wardrobe. According to the author of the book `Psychology of Fashion`, Professor Karen Pine, a woman who constantly wears blue jeans is prone to depression and bad mood. Ladies who choose outfit variety feel happier and are in a good mood.

Shapeless, stretched items

Psychologist Jennifer Baumgartner in her book `You Are What You Wear` wrote that fans of huge robes and opponents of fitted silhouettes are afraid to attract unnecessary attention and want to stay aside. However, this note does not apply to the so-called universal size style. If such a garment is chosen correctly, then everyone will feel not only comfortable in it, but also confident.

Dull colors

The color of clothing also tells a lot. Gilles Standish in the book `The Ultimate Dressing Guide` explains the connection between a person`s inner state and the color of their clothing. For example, bland, inexpressive shades and combinations indicate shyness and insecurity. People with such behavioral traits try to dress modestly so that no one pays attention to them. It is worth encouraging them and helping them overcome shyness.

Clothing that is not meant for your size

Wearing loose shirts and sweatpants daily indicates that the person doubts the beauty of their body and wants to hide it. Moreover, appearing like this in the office or at a party is bad taste. Sports clothing that emphasizes the best sides of the figure, on the contrary, is bought by those who have no self-esteem problems. Self-confident girls who want to wear fitness outfits in everyday life choose tight tops and comfortable sports shoes.

Blind following of fashion

The desire to follow all fashion whims arises in people who are very worried about what others think of them. They feel a burning desire not to lag behind others and worry if their acquaintances managed to buy clothes from the new collection earlier. However, the wardrobe should be chosen not only by following the latest fashion trends, but also with an understanding that it suits you specifically. Moreover, experts advise not to pay attention to logos, because others should appreciate you, not the brands of leading fashion houses.

Chessboard pattern

A woman chooses clothing patterns thoughtfully. For example, a black and white square pattern can indicate that the person is in a difficult situation or has hidden complexes. If you notice that a friend has started wearing clothes with such a pattern too often, improve her mood, give her a compliment, or offer to go shopping.

Excessively sexy clothing

Women in provocative clothing with décolleté want to attract attention to themselves. The lack of compliments and the desire to stand out are often explained by low self-esteem. But if such an outfit has a special reason (wedding, cocktail party), then nothing prevents emphasizing the beauty of the figure. The main thing is not to overdo it.

Too many buttons

Clothing with a large number of buttons is preferred by both men and women who are perfect and neat. They are always carefully groomed, disciplined, organized, and never late for meetings. But according to the author of the book `Everyone Lies! Learning to `Read` People by Their Appearance`, Svetlana Kuzina, such people are considered closed and immobile. Such traits lead to a loss of self-confidence. To prevent this, try to encourage this person, praise their impeccable suit or perfect hairstyle.

Clothing that does not match the occasion

People who put on shorts for lunch and arrive at the office in too revealing attire are rebels by nature, but at the same time, they try to keep everything under their control. On the other hand, those who choose clothing inappropriate for the event need to be noticed, so demonstrative denial of the dress code can be considered as insecurity in oneself. Psychologists recommend building a wardrobe by pre-planning outfits for different situations (work, party), and not forgetting to listen to the advice of loved ones.
If a woman has 1-2 favorite items from those mentioned above, it means nothing. But if these signs match her entire wardrobe, then perhaps it indicates something and she needs support, by giving a couple of compliments.
