Clothes are such a pleasure. And I don't think, I mean, there were these funny predictions in the early 20th century that people would just give up clothes altogether because even, you know, the wearing of clothes was a bit neurotic and silly. And actually, if we're proper, rational human beings, we should all go naked. And that hasn't happened so far. So I think people are going to keep wearing clothes.
Ever wondered why that perfect outfit makes you feel like you can conquer the world? Or why fashion can sometimes make you feel less than fabulous? In this thought-provoking episode of 'All In The Mind', host Sana Khadar takes us on a journey through the intricate world of fashion psychology. Joined by psychoanalyst Anoushka Gross and cognitive psychologist Dr.
Carolyn Mair, they explore how clothes are more than just fabric and thread—they're a reflection of our identity, status, and sense of belonging. From the high of nailing a look to the lows of fashion-induced self-doubt, this episode digs into the conflicting emotions we have towards fashion. The conversation also touches on the fast-paced trend cycles and the environmental toll of the fashion industry, providing a comprehensive look at why we care so much about what we wear.
If you've ever questioned your relationship with your wardrobe, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you see your closet.
