Self-esteem, identity, fashion, perception, personality
This article uses a qualitative approach involving articles, surveys and research to
analyze the impact of fashion on self-esteem. It begins with a thorough analysis of scholarly
sources on the topic. Then compare the ideas with personal experiences. To
compare these experiences with the ideas in the article, use arguments to help identify
similarities and differences. This article answers questions such as: what is self-esteem, how is it
formed, and how is it maintained? How is it maintained, and what role does family and society
play in the development of self-esteem? In addition, we will explore the complexity of self
esteem and analyze its components, factors that include them and their impact on people's lives.
Ralph Waldo determined that self-confidence and success go hand in hand and expressed the
following "Self-confidence is the first secret of success", in the same line we will examine how
fashion and appearance influence self-esteem and how various tools can be used to reinforce
confidence and authenticity.
Throughout the years, self-esteem has been a controversial topic in society, for a long time it has
not been given the relevance it deserves, however, it has currently been a hot topic and of great
importance worldwide, many people have taken the task of investigating and analyzing how this
factor that greatly affects the lives of people and determines how others see it and therefore how
it will be treated.
