While I don't believe "clothes make the man," I think they do help define who we are. The expensive brands I'm wearing today would seem to imply that I'm a corporate whore. If one notes th at everything I'm wearing was bought by my parents, does that make them the corporate whores? What does that make me as I wear their gifts? What would it say about me if the majority of my clothes were thrift store buys? How about if I dressed as my brother in his retro style tees and indie band apparel? What does my now pink hair say in comparison to the clothes I wear?
