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?

Firstly
, there are a myriad number of corporate organizations which mandate dress codes for their employees. They are usually allowed to wear business formals.
However
, few companies permit business casuals.
This

, all the male associates wear a formal shirt and a pair of trousers, but they belong to diverse cultures and possess varied personal characteristics. One could be an introvert, whereas the other could be an extrovert.
Secondly
. nuptial ceremonies in the present era follow themes for each event. The organizers try to explore other cultures, which are different from their own.

On the other hand
, the South Indians follow their own customs.
Hence

as the Americans who adore the Indian

and
therefore
, follow their lifestyle.
