This study investigated the influence of personality traits on clothing preference of adolescent girls in the district of Bhilai City.

The data collected were analyzed using the mean (x) and standard deviation (SD) to answer the research question. Positive correlations were found for the personality traits conscientiousness, sentiments, and super ego and for the character strengths self sufficient, shy, perspective and open-mindedness.
