The main difference is that, while everyone understands the language of suits — it’s the uniform of “respectability” — there are a million tribes in casualwear, each with their own language, which can make it difficult to understand something if you’re not already<br /> acquainted with a look."</div><div><br /></div><div>It doesn't (can't?) answer these questions but I like that it identifies them.&nbsp; There was a monograph on jeans wearing published some years ago by scholars who study communication with clothing.

When a friend of mine ran for city council last year, I read up on recommendations for black men running for office—how to look approachable and authoritative but not so common people look down on you or so powerful white people are afraid of you. Certainly is not something I’d have considered if I was running for office! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-67#post-2039360 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 17:14:05 +0000 kkards 2039360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i know that YLF isn't political, and i don't view this article as political, but will understand if you don't want to use it...<br />&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/style/democratic-debate-candidates-image.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2019/0.....image.html</a><br />what i liked about it is that it devoted time and attention to both male and female candidates, talked about how perception is so important, and really talked about how we brand ourselves..which is being so important, whether you are running for president or just trying to get promoted&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-67#post-2039357 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 17:05:54 +0000 Inge 2039357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Any style-related articles, videos, visuals...?-) Do post them below and let us know why you would like to share them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Many thanks!</div><div>Inge</div><div>xxx<br /></div> </p>
