You might not realize it, but the clothing you choose meets certain basic needs that all people share. Clothing meets many needs. Some are physical -- for comfort, protection, and safety. Clothing covers the body and protects it from the weather, harm, and injury. Other needs are intellectual, emotional, and social. Clothes can communicate lots of information about people and their lives. Clothes can make you feel attractive and self-confident. Clothes can also help you identify with other people and feel like part of a group. - p. 25.
