Abstract

In daily life, many individuals hesitate to choose their preferred dressing style due to concerns about negative comments from those around them. This article discusses how to create a more inclusive environment and alleviate these concerns through investigation and research. A total of 200 valid responses were collected from Beijing residents, including 87 males and 113 females. The results indicated no significant gender difference in attitudes toward freedom of dressing (P = 0.051). Correlation tests revealed that open personality traits (r = .263, p < .001), rule awareness (r = .526, p < .001), and the level of perceived social support (r = .329, p < .001) are significantly positively correlated with Beijing residents' attitudes toward freedom of dress. Enhancing these factors may help reduce individuals' concerns, thereby increasing their freedom to choose their attire. People's right to dress freely should be respected as long as it does not violate laws or personal rules.

Keywords: freedom to dress; open personality traits; awareness of rules; perceived social support.
