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?

Clothes are important accessories of human beings and some people have the opinion that they can identify an
individual's
Suggestion
individual
tradition or behaviour by the
way
they
dress
. I think
this
is true to some extent, but not always the case as I will support my view with valid arguments and examples. On one hand, the
way
some people
dress
may not give a true reflection of their
culture
or even the
person
's behaviour.
For instance
, some working environments
such
as banks require their staff members to
dress
formally in suits and pant trousers. In as much as
this
style of dressing was adopted from Western
culture
, it is common in Africa and Asia.
On the other hand
, it may be possible to predict a
person
's tradition and
way
of life through their choice of clothes.
For instance
, during my education and time spent in the United Kingdom, I was able to identify other Nigerians by the
way
they dressed, even down to their ethnicity.
In addition
,
some
one or some or every or all without specification
any
individual's
way
of life and
culture
can be suggested by what they wear.
For example
, a monk is usually dressed in a tunic. To conclude, predicting a
person
's attitude or background by their clothing can be subjective depending on what the situation is. Just as some people can tell a lot about a
person
's lifestyle and
culture
from their dressing, others may not. I suggest people should not make assertive conclusions about a
person
's persona based on how they
dress
.
