Clothes That Control You

About this event

You’ve changed three times before leaving the house. The meeting hasn’t started, nobody has seen you, and your wardrobe has already influenced your morning. How much influence does it have over the rest of your day? This month, Bangkok Scientifique explores the psychology of getting dressed with Sofia Kerzikova, an image consultant, fashion stylist and body-language coach. She’ll look at how what we wear might affect our own thoughts and behaviour, as well as the impressions we make on others. Together, we’ll explore questions such as: Can a familiar T-shirt make you feel more capable than an expensive outfit? Can worrying about how you look distract you from a task? And which popular claims about body language hold up to scrutiny? Sofia will discuss research on clothing, attention and self-efficacy, our belief in our ability to carry out a task. There will also be live experiments, giving us a chance to compare our own reactions and discuss what the research can and cannot tell us. Sofia has 11 years of experience and has worked with more than 500 clients. She is a former Dolce & Gabbana stylist, an ambassador for the School of Kinetic Image and an international speaker. Thursday, 26 November 2026, 19:00–21:00 Public House, Sukhumvit 31 The event is free and everyone is welcome. Please support our host venue by ordering food or drinks during the evening.
