Crossed arms, dilated pupils and fake smiles are all examples of nonverbal communication. However, what can have the biggest impact on a person's opinion of the wearer is the type of clothing they wear. Clothing is often someone's first impression of a person, whether it is accurate or not. People often use clothing to indicate their age, gender, political opinions, and economic class. Without even realizing it, most people make assumptions about a person based on their clothing. People make assumptions and make judgments about the emotional, moral, educational and social prestige of others (Dynamism of Fashion Among Female Undergraduates and its Effects in the Sight of Beholders in a University of Education, Nigeria 2011). We usually expect people to dress a certain way before we learn anything about them personally or their qualifications. Very often, people try to choose their nicest clothes when trying to make a good first impression before the employer asks them any questions. First impressions are very important, and clothing is usually one of the main factors in determining them (Pelham 2010). A person's personality and cultural beliefs can be communicated through their clothing options. Clothing can also be used to understand whether the wearer is conventional or bold, extroverted or aloof, casual or organized, a leader or a follower, or poised or insecure. However, making assumptions such as those previously stated may be wrong (Dynamism of Fashion Among Female Undergraduates and its Effects in the Sight of Beholders in a University of Education, Nigeria 2011). Clothing styles such as very tight-fitting dresses can be suggestive, ostentatious or perhaps even unattractive, while clo...... center of card ...... be identified as Indian or Hindu when she could very well be neither ( Pelham 2010). I am often told that people are watching me. Not to hear what I say, but to see what I do, how I do it and even what I wear. As they watch me, they form their own opinions. The point is not whether their opinions are real or not, the point is that they base their assumptions on nonverbal communication. The result is that nonverbal communication can be misunderstood at any time; It just depends on the person analyzing it.
