Identity, persona, social role

Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
Hair
Hair in dreams symbolizes strength, vitality, and personal identity. Losing hair may reflect fears about aging, loss of power, or identity crisis. Growing long hair can represent freedom and natural expression. Cutting hair dramatically may symbolize a major life change or desire to reinvent yourself. The Samson and Delilah archetype connects hair to power.
