Abstract
Your clothing style allows you to express your personality and create a lasting first impression. The clothes you wear communicate a lot about who you are, sometimes more than words. Your style reflects your unique identity, revealing your likes, passions, and beliefs. Whether you prefer a particular aesthetic or a current trend, your fashion choices represent you. A person’s image encompasses the external qualities that define and highlight their identity, reflecting their individuality to others. Beyond physical characteristics, a person’s image symbolizes their personality, making it an essential aspect of their character and individuality. Ultimately, a person’s image shapes how others perceive them, making it an effective tool in building relationships.
For lecturers, their image is a perception that carries an emotional tone and is shaped by the opinions of their students, colleagues, and the broader social environment. The qualities that make a lecturer exceptional are closely linked to the attributes that people associate with them when forming their image. The dressing style of modern art university lecturers is a multifaceted aspect that goes beyond mere attire. This research aims to explore how the dressing style serves as a means of highlighting the identity and individuality of these educators and to understand its influence on students in an academic context.
