(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-06-20)

Reading about on personality psychology, I have met several vague claims that different personality types prefer different clothing styles.

* Apparently, people who are more keen to their senses will prefer softer clothes.
* People who highly value order and efficiency have been said to prefer a more formal clothing style.

Are there any research studies to support such claims? (I'm looking for links to scientific reports)
