Self-expression through fashion

 

Did you know that a person makes 35,000 decisions per day on average? And you might not realize it, but choosing what to wear is one of the most essential everyday decisions you make to express your self-identity.

We can transmit a part of our personality nonverbally through our wardrobe. Wearing floral print expresses your sensitive side, while wearing an eye-catching standout piece indicates your extraversion.

We urge our residents at brighterkind to continue expressing themselves through their personal choices, including their sense of fashion. Growing older does not imply that you no longer care about how you show yourself. Individualism and feeling like 'you' are greatly influenced by the smell of a favorite scent or aftershave, the feel of fabric, the shine of jewelry, or the completion of an item.

Apparel is not only a terrific way to express oneself, but studies believe that the clothing we wear can influence our behaviors and confidence. We feel more secure in ourselves when we wear things we like, which is especially significant for the elderly.

Fashion's good impact on the elderly does not end there! Items in our closets can evoke various memories, whether it's an antique piece that transports the owner to a bygone period or an item that reminds them of a certain time in their lives. Fashion is a terrific method to get the elderly to reminisce, which is good for their health.
