What should I wear?

Here we are again in front of our wardrobe. It is filled to the brim with skirts, blouses and trousers in all shapes and colors. But nothing, absolutely nothing fits together. Why do we all look silly in all clothes? Why are we suddenly left with nothing? Or is something wrong with us? From the initial lack of planning now become evil self-doubt. And not for the first time. Where does it come from? And how do we avoid such dress crises in the future? And answers to the question: What do I wear today?

First of all, you have to know that this is a very personal problem. Because clothes reveal a lot about us. "They reflect what we think and feel." Jennifer Baumgartner, psychologist and author of the book You Are What You Wear (order here at amazon.de ). We decide every day - sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously - how we want to present ourselves to the world. Depending on the shape of the day and the phase of life, we feel and dress differently.

Usually we enjoy that as well, because the abundance of trends and the freedom of clothing conventions open up a huge playground for fashion. But the mass of possibilities is sometimes spoiled for choice. Not least because it is very important to us women to look good and to please others (also visually).

The agony of choice can sometimes make us quite ready. Great tip: Build on an eye-catcher, like these red pants, the whole outfit.

"The cause lies in our genes, " explains psychologist Dr. med. Susanne Altweger. "Evolution has made it so that women need to be attractive to attract the opposite sex, so in that sense we mean 'I do not have anything to wear' means 'I'm not attractive'."

Because we do not know with which fashion parts we put our preferences in the right light, we are unhappy. And women are overcritical with themselves anyway. Psychologist Baumgartner: "In everything we wear or buy, we always consider our age, our figure, our lifestyle, we emphasize some aspects - or fight against them."

And of course we hope that our wardrobe will support us in this project. But he does not. For example, because we stuffed him with formal clothes that we never find an occasion for. Or because we can not part with things that do not really suit us anymore. And then the clothes are difficult to combine with each other.

Fortunately, there are a few all-rounder parts that save us from the "That looks stupid, and that too" despair: about a simple black dress that we can wear anytime, anywhere. Or a striped shirt that looks chic and casual at the same time.
