Some people say that it is possible to tell a lot about person’s culture and character from their choice of clothes. Do you agree or disagree?

#people #person’s #culture #character #choice #clothes
It is said that telling a lot about someone’s culture and character from his
choice
 of
clothes
 could be possible. From my perspective, I agree with
this
 statement and
this
 essay will speak
further
 as to why I agree with it. Just as an old saying in China goes, ‘Appearance comes from someone’s heart’. It is the same as the
choice
 of
clothes
.
Choice
 of
clothes
 contains the
colours
, styles and so on.
Firstly
,
colours
 can reflect one’s favour and character directly in some ways.
For example
, a person who prefers dark
colours
 like black may probably be a cool guy while a person who prefers light
colours
 like yellow could be energetic. Compared with
colours
,
clothes
’ styles symbolize someone’s culture. There comes a vivid example. In western countries like America, people pretend to choose casual
clothes
 which represent freedom, and shorts and skirts are common in these countries.
However
, Eastern people are more conservative and shier to wear sexy
clothes
 in their daily life. They prefer formal
clothes
 which do not expose too much skin like shirts, especially for Chinese people who are affected by Confucianism. In conclusion, on one hand, the
choice
 of
clothes
 can show one’s character,
on the other hand
, the
choice
 of
clothes
 can reveal one’s culture. But you should keep in mind that the statement is not definite or absolute, and we cannot learn about a person only by telling his
clothes
.
