November 7, 1928. Mr. J. C. Flügel: Notes on the psychology of clothing.
The most fundamental contribution of psycho-analysis to the psychology of clothes concerns the ambivalent mental attitude towards most of the problems of dress, e.g. in the omnipresent and contrasted motives of display and modesty, also between the combined satisfactions derived from clothes (satisfactions which are themselves in other respects often mutually antagonistic) and the desires which are opposed to the wearing of clothes at all.
