Description

Getting Dressed explores how everyday clothing choices reveal fundamental social patterns in human behaviour. This Routledge book examines the rules that govern what we wear and the invisible social forces that shape our decisions about dress. Rather than viewing fashion as purely personal expression, the author demonstrates how clothing functions as a social system where conformity and imitation drive our choices. The book unpacks why we rank and judge each other through appearance, yet paradoxically depend on others to construct our identity. Through accessible sociology, it reveals how personal style is deeply social, constrained by cultural norms and social influences that extend far beyond individual preference. Essential for anyone interested in understanding the hidden social structures embedded in daily life and fashion.

Routledge presents an accessible exploration of how fashion functions as a ranking system in society.
