We humans dress to “fit” in. Sometimes fitting in is a choice, other times it’s a matter of safety and security, and yet not fitting can also be deliberate. This podcast digs deep into how we make decisions about how to dress to suit different occasions. What message are we sending with the way we dress? When and how does our choice of clothing or hair style or shoe height become an extension of our gender, our class or professional designation? How has our ever growing social network shaped our sense of fashion and belonging? When do we choose not to fit in?
