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

For centuries,

culture

has played a critical role in every society on the globe.

Hence

, different

culture

, has different beliefs as well as traditions.

Therefore

, it is argued that one can conclude others' community and personalities only by their appearances. In my opinion, I partly agree with the statement because I believe one can predict a person's

culture

, but it is not true for every individual. It is possible to guess a

person’s

background and nature of their clothes.

However

, one may not be able to predict their character and values. A person always wearing religious or traditional costumes may reveal their devotional and spiritual nature. A usually decent and formally clad individual portrays simplicity and modesty. Multi-coloured and flashy outfits can indicate a

person’s

exuberant and lively nature.

For example

, entertainers and celebrities are often seen wearing gauzy dresses.

Also

, an odd-coloured, loose-fitted and shabby clothing may be an indicator of a careless attitude.

Nevertheless

, I feel that outward appearance and looks can be deceptive. It may disguise a

person’s

true inner self and any malevolent intent.

For example

, some imposters donning sacred robes and religious symbols may defraud innocent followers.

This

was evidently seen in the recent criminal cases filed against self-proclaimed saints in India.

Moreover

, a

person’s

choice of clothing cannot always be used as a reflection of their character in general. To cite an example, a woman wearing light and short clothes for her comfort may incorrectly be perceived as indecent in some countries. In summary, a

person’s

style of dressing can be an indicator of their thought patterns, and outlook towards life and

culture

. It can

also

show some of their qualities and attributes.

However

, it would be incorrect to draw a conclusion about someone based on their external appearance.
