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.Submitted by g.aviral91 on
