Title: Cultural Studies of Clothing
Product review: Do not be misled by the title of the book. This book belongs to the genre of Cultural Studies, not Social Psychology.Regadless of the thick size, the book has little content. It is full of grandiose and theory-ridden claims that our clothing is socially constructed phenomena etc., but when you read the content more carefully, you notice that the book does not give you any better understanding of clothing.Furthermore, the book contains few references to empirical studies of clothing. Most references are to other articles in Cultural Studies (why our gender is socially constructed etc).There a few nice anecdotes and examples, but that does not come even close to covering the price of this book.
