Stereotypes Of Men And Women

Our daily choices of dressing affects they way we are perceived by others and it has a huge impact on forming our impressions to other people. In the most basic case, fashion makes the man or women. (Giles & William, 1975) When introducing the garments, the very first category or the label its given is the sex of the wearer. Clothing is made by human with very defined differentiations in man and women and show the socially constructed nature of gender distinctions. Garments could be using for oneself to show himself or herself to other people around them or to declare the group that they belong to, and also their sex and their sexual tint.
