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?

Outfit of an individual can develop an initial image of a
person
.
However
, few individuals believe that a
person
’s character and culture can be judged based on their attire. I do not agree with
this
view because

election is majorly influenced based on the affordability and the theme of the
event
. Every individual would purchase an outfit
accordingly
to their level of income. Due to limitation of budget, a
person
may not be able to afford fashionable wears, but it does not mean that he is not fashionable.
Further
, a
person
may be rich and can wear branded clothes but it does not determine his culture and character.
For example
, some employees may not be able to buy an expensive suit which does not determine whether they are professional or not.
Thus
, the selection is largely based on the earnings of a
person
. Most of the time, the decision to wear a certain outfit depend on the type of
event
a
person
is attending. Party would require flashy dressing whereas the funeral may require simple and light colour clothes.
For instance
, in the case of a religious
event
, all the attendees choose to wear traditional clothes.
This
does not mean that all the attendees are spiritual and religious.
Therefore
, many times dressing is influenced by the
event
an individual is attending. To conclude, the choice of a
person
to wear an outfit depends on factors like his affordability and occasion.
Therefore
, it is not possible for people to judge a
person
’s culture and character based on their outfits.
