Description

Explore the social science behind your daily wardrobe with Getting Dressed: Conformity and Imitation in Clothing and Everyday Life. Published by Routledge, this book uses the simple act of choosing what to wear to teach fundamental sociological concepts. It examines the hidden rules that shape our fashion choices and the reasons why we conform to certain styles or imitate those around us. While many people view clothing as a form of personal identity, this text explains how our style is actually social. It looks at how our choices are shaped and limited by various social influences. You will learn how clothing is used to rank individuals and how we use fashion to treat others differently. This book provides a deep look at what we wear, why we wear it, and why these everyday decisions matter to our understanding of society.
