What were you thinking about when you got dressed this morning?
Was it the weather? The activities you have planned for the day?
Believe it or not, it’s important to study clothing.
Clothing is a codified language that acts as an interface between you and the world around you. For example, think about the differences between male and female dress, and what it means when one gender wears the other’s clothes.
Clothing has (at least) two purposes:1. Aesthetic2. functional
AESTHETIC Clothing is a way to express yourself, indentify potential friends/mates/enemies, and to signify your interests, status, and tastes. For example, think of how a t-shirt can convey a person’s taste in music, politics, or brands. Also, consider the strict language of military dress, where stars or medals on your uniform serve as direct indicators for how to treat you.
FUNCTIONAL Clothing is also a necessity – it keeps you warm, protects from rain and other inclement weather Wearing clothes is essential to most standards of decency Clothing can flatter or alter the figure
The function of clothing can be practical, aesthetic, or both. The same is true of wearable technology.
I see wearable tech as a way to enhance the coded language of clothing – to make it more explicit and more functional.
