- NEW!

I actually did a study on this for a soc class...one week I dressed goth and went into a couple stores. I received glares and other bad looks, other people pretended were completely isolating to me, and in some stores the workers watched me very closely to make sure I wasn't going to steal or cause trouble.
The next week, I went to all the same stores dressed nicely in something really fashionable. Everyone was much more warm and inviting in general, and instead of watching me like a hawk, the employees were friendly and offered to help me with anything--also, I never changed my attitude through out the entire study.
Clothing is supposed to represent your status and who you are, and in general, society follows stereotypes. Someone dressed to the nines represents $ and power, and their gonna get a lot more respect than someone dressed in dirty old clothes.

My girl thinks I'm nuts. Does anyone remember black and white school buses in the 1970s? Maybe it was just an NYC thing.
