About this episode

Kelly explores how the clothes we wear influence our self-identity through a conversation with Denver high school principal Steve Day.

There's a body of research that says the clothes you wear don't just change how others see you — they change how you see yourself. Kelly traces this idea from her conversation with Denver high school principal Steve Day back to a foundational psychology study, and lands somewhere unexpected: that identity might be less something you earn and more something you assume.
