Some people say that it is possible to tell a lot about a person's culture and character from their choice of clothes. Do you agree or disagree?

It is certainly a very interesting question. Does what a

person

wears tell us so much about their culture and personality or not? I tend to agree that clothes can tell us some basic things, but that they do not tell us much more than those basic things.

First

of all, I will consider how a

person

's choice of clothes reveals their culture.

This

is true in some ways,

for example

, in many countries, people have a distinctive national style of wear, and some particular cloths and fabrics are typical of certain areas.

Therefore

, clothes can sometimes reveal the ethnic origins and culture of a

person

, but as so many people nowadays dress in business suits or jeans and T-shirts worldwide

this

is becoming less and less true. As character is concerned, we can tell in some places if the wearer of clothes is a follower of fashion. Another aspect of dress is whether the clothes look clean and ironed or grubby and very casual.

This

might tell us how much concerned they are about to be smart.

However

, the way someone dresses can

also

be misleading at times. There are some people, which wears clothes that seems very casual and strange but often they are just following fashion and are not unusual or strange people in their personalities at all. To sum up, I would say that we can find out something about a

person

from their style of dress, but only the surface things, and not the deeper character.
