Some People Say It Is Possible To Tell A Lot About A Person’s Culture From Their Choice Of Clothes
There are a number of
people
who opine that an individual’s personality and values can be deduced / inferred from the clothes
they commonly wear. I do not fully agree with this
view.
People
are not always able to wear clothes
of their choice
. For example
, a young girl may be very modern in their outlook and may want to wear stylish, modern clothes
; however
, her parents may force her to wear very traditional garments. In this
case, we cannot infer much about her culture or character from her clothing. Likewise
, many Muslim girls are forced to wear a burka. This
does not always mean that they are conservative. Sometimes, they have no other choice
. In the same way, there is no guarantee that someone wearing very simple clothes
is actually poor or uneducated. It could be a choice
. Clothes
can lie.
Having said that, there are still a few things we can learn about a person from their style of clothing. For example
, an impeccably dressed person usually pays great attention to detail. Likewise
, people
who prefer comfortable clothing to stylish wear may be easygoing and practical. In the same way, extravagant clothing may be a sign of vanity.
To sum up
, to some extent people
’s choice
of clothing can reveal their nature. However
, it is wrong to assume that we can fully deduce their culture or character from their choice
of clothing. Oftentimes, people
choose clothing dictated by the norms of society and those clothes
do not reveal their character.Submitted by s_syedy on
