Summary

This quote suggests that clothes have a significant influence on us. While we may believe that we choose and shape our clothing to fit our bodies, the quote implies that our clothes have a greater power to shape who we are as individuals. Clothes not only conform to our physical bodies but also have the ability to shape and mold our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, ultimately dictating how we present ourselves to the world. In this perspective, clothes are seen as more than mere garments and are seen as entities that drive our inner selves.
