It is believed by few that an individual’s culture and character can be deduced by the way he or she dresses.
Although

, traditional wear of certain regions does provide you with an idea of how their society was, but in an era of globalization, it has become very difficult to decode one’s beliefs by their clothes.
Therefore
Linking Words
, I disagree that nowadays you can look at a person and be able to predict his beliefs accurately,
however
Linking Words
, certain traditional outfits may be able to give you
such
Linking Words
 hints, which I will discuss
further
Linking Words
 below. As globalization has progressed, western sense of dressing have become prevalent in many cultures around the world, making it difficult to differentiate between various societies.
For example
Linking Words
, you will find that the world leaders would all wear suits when attending a global conference. Though, they might belong to different places, their attire is almost identical.
Hence
Linking Words
, if you were to decode anything relating to one’s personal traits based on just his clothing, it would not be possible.
Also
Linking Words
, sometimes the dress in based more on occasion rather on personal liking. Alternatively, there is a long held belief that one may be able to tell something about a person’s background or belief system by his/her preference of a certain wear,
such
Linking Words
 assertions may have been dependent on the outfits that are associated with their old tradition.
For example
Linking Words
, many Muslims have started wearing skull caps or veil in order to be more close to their religion. By looking at
such
Linking Words
 individuals, one can assess that they belong to a conservative country, but not all follow
such
Linking Words
 a choice,
hence
Linking Words
, a generalization cannot be made. To conclude, I would reiterate that in these modern times when people like to dress alike and their choices are based on current trends which are often brought on by a global influence, it is extremely difficult to say anything about their society’s norms, based just on their outerwear.
