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

Although

dressing is one of the most personal decisions of each person, yet many people judge the background of others based on their dress. In

this

essay, I will state the reasons why I believe that

such

judgment is justified.

First

of all, I completely disagree with the notion advanced by some that the choice of clothing does not represent the culture of the wearer. I hold

this

opinion because the people who say the style is a personal preference do not consider the circumstances which have led to

such

preference. To illustrate

this

point, I find apt to include my personal experience with a village man. I once met a poor man who came from a remote, conservative area of Pakistan. I wanted to gift him some clothes, so

made me realize that a dress not only acts as a visual embellishment of the

Secondly

, people say that while the above observation may be true for traditional dresses, its effect is greatly lowered in professional settings where people dress for the office environment. Here, too, I express my disagreement with

this

argument on the ground that saves the uniformed forces, all other jobs allow for some kind of personalization.

For instance

, people cloaked in typical business attire can still manifest their internal feelings by wearing a certain

typical and unoriginal dresses are usually sufficient to tell about a person’s culture and background. In conclusion, it is evident from the points discussed above that clothes say a lot about the wearer. It is not difficult to make accurate guesses about a person’s character or culture by having a good look at his overall appearance
