Psicología de la moda, Identidad, Colores, Autopercepción, SubjetividadResumen
El presente ensayo teórico investiga las relaciones entre moda, color y psicología en la constitución de la identidad y en la regulación emocional. A partir de una revisión bibliográfica integradora, se discute cómo el vestir se configura como una forma de lenguaje simbólico, mediador entre el yo y el mundo. Se abordan contribuciones de la psicología social, analítica y cognitiva, así como perspectivas de la neuropsicología de la moda. Las evidencias indican que las elecciones de vestimenta, asociadas a la percepción de los colores, influyen en el bienestar, la autoestima y la cognición social, revelando la potencia psíquica y simbólica del acto de vestir.
