The “[[Halo effect]]” is a term used to describe the idea that people’s general perception of one’s appearance can influence their overall opinion of that person. People tend to form a positive opinion of someone if they are seen as fashionable and stylish. On the flip side, people may also form a negative opinion of someone if they appear to be out of fashion or unkempt. Therefore, fashion can have a huge impact on how people perceive us and how we perceive ourselves. When we look good, we feel good, and this can have a positive effect on our self-esteem.
