Why We Wear Cloths or Need for an MFM Course

It is extremely important both for an aspirant of MFM and a student to know the reason for this course. Marketing students know that every product is based on some need. And need is a state of physiological, social and psychological deprivation which an organism ( in this case the human beings) seek to fulfill. Then why we need fashion or clothing ? I am reproducing a few paragraphs from this site to explain:


"We have several reasons for our clothing choices. We choose clothes based on functional reasons – for comfort, protection against the elements and to support our physical activities. We also choose clothes for social reasons, such as adhering to cultural norms, meeting expectations, and fitting into groups. And we base our clothing decisions on psychological factors, such as a desire to be attractive, feel powerful, or express our creativity.

The styles we choose affect how we see ourselves and can make a strong impression on others. Some people try to appear current and trendy by choosing to wear the latest, popular fashions. Others may prefer to take a more conservative approach and wear simple, classic styles, such as polo shirts and khaki pants.

Color choice also affects how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. For instance, we may wear the color black because it is slimming, simple, and neutral. The color red is emotionally intense and can elevate your heart rate. Purple has a long history of being the color of royalty.

...Ultimately, we choose clothing based on a variety of reasons - marketing, functional needs, our physical, social, and psychological reasons , and our own individual taste!"

Thus fashion designers work to create such clothing which takes care of that need. Marketers take these clothes from manufacturers and sell to the customers having those needs. But needs, as you know are not the same everywhere and also they have to look for the demand ( the willingness to pay ) for that need.  This is where you need to study Marketing Management and Consumer Behaviour and where the other subjects of MFM kick in.
