Quite possibly the best book I have ever read

By far the most comprehensive, clear, and intellectually stimulating book on this subject matter. Very inspiring! I would highly recommend this book.

The Best Clothing Book I've Ever Read

Susan Kaiser is a pioneer in the field. Her work sets the standard by which others should follow. This book is very readable. I recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by the impact of clothing on our culture/society.

If you are interested, definitely helpful!

For someone like me, a 15year old with both a strong interest in clothing and pyschology, this book was awesome. The Social Pschology of Clothing is a book about how we are dressed makes us seem to others. It explained how certain situations are handled due to the clothing involved. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a love for clothes and psychology. Ms. Kaiser, I may some day soon be doing a lenghthy research paper on this subject, and you have become a valuable resource.
