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 ?

Choices of clothes are crucial in identifying an individual
culture
. People, nowadays, tend to wear those clothes which reflect their
culture but
Accept comma addition
culture, but
this
is not a criteria to describe
someone

someone's
someones
character
. So, I partially agree with the notion. The ensuing paragraphs of
this
essay will elaborate the fact that how clothes become a source to tell about a person's
culture
and how they are not a yardstick to measure
someone
Suggestion
someone's
someones
character
.
To begin
with, we are living in
this
globalized world where everything has become similar from cloth choices to eating habits. People who wear clothes according to their respective
culture
stand out from the rest in
this
uniformed world of same clothing.
For instance
, if
someone
is wearing a head scarf we instantly recognise her as a member of a Muslim community. In the same way, South Africans can be recognised easily by the type of the hats they wear.
Thus
, it is proved that certain choices of clothes predict easily about their cultures. Contrary to
this
,
character
Suggestion
the character
is an altogether is a different thing. It is interior rather than an obvious or conspicuous.
Firstly
, the clothing has nothing to do with a
character
because it's a personal choice of everyone that how they like to dress, either they wear specific clothes which cover their body, or they want to show themselves, it is only a matter of choice rather than of a
character
.
Furthermore
, it is argued that people, especially women, who wear obscene clothes responsible for increased numbers of rapes in a society which is completely against facts.
Therefore
, choice of clothes could never be a predictor of
someone
's
character
. To conclude, I would like to reiterate that clothes do tell us about the particular
culture
of an individual, but they cannot describe
someone
's
character
, because these are two different characteristics altogether.
