Does my clothing affect a predator's perception of me?

Does my clothing affect a predator's perception of me?

How a person appears and what they're wearing can make a difference. Predators identify targets by evaluating how vulnerable they are, for whatever reason. If you're in a badly-lit parking lot, late at night, wearing high-heels and a cocktail dress then you're not going to be able to run and you're not going to be able to fight back. Elderly people are also potential victims, often identifiable by the way they dress or the things they carry. It goes without saying that wearing expensive clothing, displaying expensive jewelry and having money on show are all going to increase your desirability as far a predator is concerned.
