The interrelationships between four clothing variables (clothing mode awareness, clothing mode conformity, prestige clothing, clothing attractiveness) and three measures of leadership (representational leadership, organizational leadership, composite leadership) were investi gated. The data were collected from a population consisting of the sophomore class of a cen tral Michigan high school containing 119 boys and 109 girls. Correlation coefficients and multiple regression were the major forms of statistical analyses used to determine the interrela tionships between the variables and to identify the clothing variables which were significant in explaining variation in leadership. Clothing attractiveness and clothing mode awareness were both significant in explaining variation in leadership, but clothing mode conformity was not.
