The way we dress impacts almost every area of our wellness. Increasingly men are being placed in the spotlight as well groomed models parade brand garments on catwalks not dissimilar to women. We see men act on screen in confidence wearing the latest fashions to depict certain personalities and characters.
Impact of role models
Young men often mimic the look of their favorite actors, musicians and artists. Some are taught by loving parents how to groom themselves and fathers, uncles, brothers or cousins may have an influence on clothing choices.
However, not all guys are comfortable enough within themselves to make stylish decisions about their attire. Certain fellows may not have had suitable role models to encourage their dress sense. Ways of living, support systems and lifestyle choices all affect how men choose to be kempt.
Sense of wellbeing and dress
Wellness covers a number of realms that includes intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical, social, environmental and occupational.
If born with a learning/intellectual or mental health disability, the male may need support in addressing clothing needs. Rather than wearing a carer’s choice of clothing, the person with the disability benefits more from developing their own choice in dress. Being able to choose your own clothing gives control over self-image.
Any person may suffer abuse that affects their realms of wellness, including mental health. A male may present as unkempt, communicating a level of insecurity and instability in life. Along with poor dress presentation may be a lack of cleanliness. The wellbeing we experience is often expressed through what we choose to wear on a particular day and our personal hygiene condition.
Our choices of clothing to wear influences how we are perceived by others. Certain clothes depict an individual’s occupation or work environment. For example, a painter may wear paint-clad overalls and protective gear and a postman a uniform. Dressing to impress for job interviews may secure a dream career or make a man more appealing as a business partner.
Appropriate dress choices may be necessary for certain social events, such as weddings and funerals. Wearing clothing not suited to the occasion may lead to an inability to be accepted in a social circle. The lack of acceptance may then lead to feelings of inferiority and isolation.
In contrast, choosing the right clothing for events may make up appear stylish and confident in ourselves so that others are enticed to get to know us. A guy in cool clothing may be found attractive by others and increase chances of developing relationships.
