Fashion is something we deal with everyday. Even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day.

There are many reasons we wear what we wear.

* Protection from cold, rain and snow: mountain climbers wear high-tech outerwear to avoid frostbite and over-exposure.
* Physical attraction: many styles are worn to inspire "chemistry."
* Emotions: we dress "up" when we're happy and "down" when we're upset. * Religious expression: Orthodox Jewish men wear long black suits and Islamic women cover every part of their body except their eyes.
* Identification and tradition: judges wear robes, people in the military wear uniforms, brides wear long white dresses.
