Race, gender, religions, body size, and body shape have a way of dressing that help in personal identity. Companies and institutions have unique dress codes, making it easier forcustomers to identify them. Each culture reflects its value by the way they dress.

Sheldon’s model refers to an American psychologist who created a field of constitutional and somatotype psychology that associates body types with personality. Somatotyping is grouped into mesomorph, ectomorph and endomorph which focus on people’s bodies, muscles or nervous system.Somatotyping can be used as a way to become less biased since it helps one in knowing their personality, characteristics and their attitudes. When one is aware of their own personality and behavior it becomes easier for them to be open to other ideas. It guides one in achieving goals.
