It is a universal phenomenon that dressing/clothing has an effect on the personality of an individual. Ones attire along with other attributes is an important component of attracting members of the opposite sex. This study is focused on what people wear and what are the other attributes which are important in mate choices among boys of college going age. A detail questionnaire consisting of about 35 attributes relating to attire, physical fitness and beauty were asked from 200 boys (n=184).
