Most of us treat getting dressed as self-expression. You feel a certain way, so you dress to match it.
Researchers found it runs the other direction too.
It is called enclothed cognition. What you wear measurably changes how you think, focus, and carry yourself. The clothing is not reflecting your state. It is setting it.
Which means your wardrobe has been quietly instructing your brain every single day, for better or worse.
