Factors that Influence Clothing Decisions:

Physical needs require protecting your body from weather, environmental dangers, and occupational hazards.

Some Examples: Weather – Protection from heat,

cold, rain, snow…Scarves, Hats, Coats, Gloves.

Environmental - Life jackets for safety, beekeepers hoods, hiking boots prevent slips.

Occupational Hazards – Bulletproof vests, brightly colored and reflective for road workers, masks and gloves for health care workers.

Clothes can also meet a psychological need: Colors, textures, and styles can affect how

you actually feel. Imagine: You’re wearing soft, baggy

sweatpants and a large hoodie on a rainy day. How do you feel?

• Formal wear – for a wedding or prom.

• Career wear - for an interview school, or work.

• Clothes can hold you back…Wear clothes, don’t let them wear you.

Choosing clothing for different occasions

Social Needs and Clothing:

While in school, clothing allows students a way to fit in or stand out.

An example would be when a teen wears a certain brand of clothing to conform to others who also wear that brand.

Clothes can serve to identify groups. We are all the PRIDE here and we have group identification when we wear green and blue.

More on Group Identification Uniforms are an example of a distinct way to

identify members of a group.

Example: Military personnel, private schools, sports teams, Sororities, or Fraternities.

Societal Dress Codes There are informal dress codes in society.

Modesty is defined as the proper way to cover ones body in various settings.

“No shoes, No Shirt, No Service”

Some religions have more strict dress codes because their standards of modesty are more conservative.

Status Is a person’s rank within a group. Clothing

can show status.

Status is showing off logos like “Tiffany’s” or “Gucci”

Individuality vs. Conformity

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.  ~Doug Floyd

The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself.  ~Rita Mae Brown, Venus Envy

Labels are for filing.  Labels are for clothing.  Labels are not for people.  ~Martina Navratilova

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.  ~Dr. Seuss

Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.  ~Voltaire

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.  ~Herman Melville

If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking.  ~George S. Patton

I am not eccentric.  It's just that I am more alive than most people.  I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish.  ~Dame Edith Sitwell

If you don't control your mind, someone else will.  ~John Allston

Be open-minded, but not so open-minded that your brains fall out.  ~Stephen A. Kallis, Jr.

When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ, they showed me this picture of three oranges and a pear.  They asked me which one is different and does not belong, they taught me different was wrong.  ~Ani Difranco

Only dead fish swim with the stream.  ~Malcolm Muggeridge

One dog barks at something, and a hundred bark at the bark.  ~Chinese Proverb

Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.  ~Quentin Crisp\

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.  ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

11.03 Suggest specific techniques for care of clothing

Teen Living

Cassie Spurrier

Two ways you can learn about your clothing:

1. Hang Tags – Are larger tags attached to new garments. Are removed before wearing. Include pricing information, style, size.

2. Permanently attached labels (or printed in ink)- Mandated to be included by the “Care Labeling Rule” and include information about the clothing such as fiber content.

Permenant labels

Care Labels

Care labels provide helpful information that can save you time and money. Knowing how to read them can keep your clothes safe!

Cleaner, fresher clothes means longer-wearing apparel.

Knowing the symbols can help you when you sort laundry.

Labels should include three pieces of information for clothing that will be laundered:

Temperature of water used.For example – Cold water

Temperature of iron.For example – Low heat

Any other warningsFor example – No Bleach

Why is knowing the fiber content helpful?

It helps you know how to care for the garment,

It tell you how well it will wear,

And it tells you how comfortable it will be.

Natural Fibers – Come from plants or Animals Cotton – From a Cotton Plant Linen – From a Flax Plant Wool – From a Sheep Silk – From a Silkworm

Silkworm cocoons:

Synthetic Fibers – Manufactured from chemical elements Acrylic Nylon Polyester Vinyl Spandex

Moth balls keep these little guys from chewing up your favorite sweater.

Store your WOOL sweaters in a cedar chest to keep the moths away!

A high concentration of cedar can deter moths. Cedar blocks used on open shelving will not deter moths but a sealed cedar chest will!

How to do Laundry

A quick and easy tutorial!

5 Steps to Clean Clothes!

Gather your materials Separate & evaluate your clothes Wash your clothes Dry your clothes Fold your clothes

Step 1 - Gather Materials

Detergent Two kinds…bottles (liquid) or boxes (powder)

Bleach Used to make your WHITES brighter Use ONLY with WHITE colored clothing and

linensFabric Softener

Eliminates static cling Makes clothes soft Two forms

Liquid…added during the wash cycle Sheet…added during the dry cycle

Fabric Softner

Please note that liquid fabric softener is DIFFERENT from liquid detergent…if you use this form of softener you must also use detergent!!!

Examples…Bounce, Downy, Snuggles

Step 2 – Why Separate?

Separate and Evaluate Your Clothes Separate your clothes by color

Separating helps protect the color and durability of your garment

Should an accident occur the damage cannot be undone! What would happen if a red sock got mixed

into white towels? Look at the care labels

Sorting Whites

Basic t-shirts, white socks, sheets, pillowcases and other plain white clothing/linens

Lights Everything from pastels to striped or patterned whites A white item with enough color (logo/pattern) to make you

think doesn’t fit with the whites

Darks Dark socks, shirts, all jeans, dark pants Newly dark clothing should be washed alone first

Delicates Wool garments, sweaters, satin, undergarments These can be washed in a machine but hand-washing is

usually better.

What to evaluate?

Pockets Are they empty?

Zippers Are they up? (This prevents snagging)

Ties (hoodies/drawstrings/etc) Should be tied to prevent losing them or

getting them tangled

Step 3

Wash This is the easy part

Pre-treat any visible stains

Select your cycle

Add your detergent to the machine

Setting Your Machine Some require you to set the temperature

(of the water) others ask you to set a cycle WHITES

“hot” cycle…vigorous agitation, hot water rinse LIGHTS & DARKS

“warm” or “permanent press”…mild agitation, extra cool water rinse

cool water protects the colors DELICATES

“delicate” or “cold” cycle…extremely short and gentle agitation spin cycle

A last few tips… When in doubt…read the care label!

2 problems that arise Overloading the machine

Fill the machine ½ to ¾ full

Using too much detergent

Step 4

Drying your nice clean clothes

Clean the lint filter Add dryer sheets Unload clothes from washer Inspect stains…the heat in the dryer will bake it in!

More drying… Overloading…why is this a problem

Most cycles last 30-40 minutes Jeans/towels take longer Take light cotton items out early to avoid wrinkles

Dry for too long=shrinking!!!

Hang delicates to dry Helps them maintain shape

Step 5

Folding…the last task!

Begin immediately…avoids wrinkling

Don’t hang sweaters (they will lose shape and take the form of the hanger)

Iron/Hang button down shirts

IRONING VS. PRESSING

Ironing is what we do before we put on clothes, that are wrinkled.

SLIDE your iron back and forth on the fabric with pressure.

Pressing is for sewing. Place the iron down on fabric, then lift it back up in quick intervals.

Repeat this up and down motion, overlapping as you go.
