What your clothes say about you. How are you feeling today? A bit blue or in the pink? Asking people how they feel by talking about color seems old-fashioned and a bit odd to modern ears. But it may not be as crazy as it sounds.

Psychological studies have shown that the color and type of clothes we wear say a lot about our personalities. So, what about you? What do your clothes say about you? Read on to find out.

According to experts, if you are into designer wear, you are probably an ambitious person and maybe a bit materialistic. People like you dressed to kill.

Casual dressers, on the other hand, are very laid back. They live in their jeans and a t-shirt, but can be a bit too easy-going and sometimes lack motivation.

Wearers of skimpy or tight clothes like to give an impression of confidence by showing off their bodies, but inside, they are often a little anxious.

Flashy dressers tend to be extroverts. They are creative outgoing types, but don't work well in teams. Something bright that will knock your socks off, like a fun pair of shoes or a patterned hoodie, is a necessary part of their dress code.

Strict followers of the latest fashions are not the most practical of people, but can be good planners. Despite being followers rather than leaders, they'll always know what will be the trendiest things to have in their wardrobe in three months' time.

However, it's not just your clothes that can give you away. The colors you wear make statements about the real you too.

Scientists had tried for centuries to prove a link between color, emotion and behavior, but none had succeeded until Max Luscher made a breakthrough a little over forty years ago.

This psychologist devised a color test that demonstrated a definite connection between color and personality.

Blue, for example, is for perceptive people, while optimistic people generally favor yellow. Orange means you are fun-loving, and brown tells the world how reliable you are.

While our clothes can't accurately be used by psychologists to assess what we're thinking about, they can offer some evidence for predictions about our personalities. So, the next time you meet someone you like or fancy, bear that in mind.

Take a good look at their clothes as they might tell you a lot about the person inside them.
