ROLE OF APPEARANCES IN BODY LANGUAGE
In the context of non-verbal communication, appearances should include:
1. Clothing
Hairdressing and style
Jewelry and other accessories like a watch, belt, shoes etc
Cosmetics including choice of perfume
Pair of spectacles
Initial thought may verge on the feeling that the above is quite unrelated to body language including movements, gestures, postures etc. However, a little deeper thought should convince that they are related to body language and can have a serious influence on gestures, expressions, and movements and change their meanings significantly.
It is said that a person is known by his dress and address. It emphasizes not only the kind of dress he wears but also the way he addresses his listeners. Perhaps it has some link with his postal address indicating his social status if he is residing in the upper-class locality.
