statement.
This
Linking Words
essay shall examine it in detail.
To begin
Linking Words
with, in recent times most people wear clothes that are very identical.
For example
Linking Words
, most of the schools and colleges in India instruct their students to wear uniforms. So we cannot identify an individual's traditions based on their clothing style.
Next

, the character of a human cannot be proven good based on the way they dress.
For instance

The personality and culture of an individual can be interpreted by the way one reacts to a certain situation. We cannot hide our bad nature behind our clothes.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, we can hardly evaluate somebody's values and character based on their dress. It influences the results up to a certain extent only.

impression is important it does not have to be completely true. To summarize, evaluating a person's nature based on the way they dress does not give a lot of information, but just a common understanding about them which may or may not be true.
