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?

Attire or clothing of a person can help define several characteristics of that individual. Some people tend to agree with

this

opinion. I,

however

, partially agree with

such

an argument and will try to provide an explanation for both sides. On one hand, the type of wardrobe a person wears can sometimes help in determining the location and occupation of an individual.

For example

, anyone who has served in the military or worked as a banker will generally tend to wear formals as compared to a musician who will mostly prefer casuals like tees or jeans.

Moreover

, the attires

also

change with the geographical locations , to illustrate, women in India have more inclination towards saree while in western countries women prefer jeans and tees.

However

, there is another side to

this

argument that suggests that judging someone on the basis of dresses or attire is not a very good practice. There are cases where people start perceiving things about a person if they are wearing something

that is

not appropriate according to them.

For instance

, recently, there was a comment by a politician condemning the use of ripped jeans by today's generation and having a notion that youngsters wearing these clothes do not have the right morals or values.

Subsequently

, notions are developed about their culture, values and morals without even having a conversation with them.

In addition

, everyone does not have a choice regarding what to wear.

For example

, poor people are sometimes forced to wear clothes that are passed upon by the rich. In conclusion,

although

, the choice of clothes can be an indicator of a few characteristics like occupation or geographical location, yet, it is not right to judge an individual's culture or morals based on what he/she chooses to wear.
