Some people say that it is possible to tell a lot about a person’s culture and character from their choice of clothes while others think one can’t be judged on the basis of one’s clothes. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.

Clothing has always played an important role in human lives.

, others contend that it is impossible to judge a person solely based on their attire. The following paragraphs discuss both sides of the argument before presenting my own opinion. On the one hand, there are a lot of
people
who strongly believe that we can judge
people
based on their clothing since appearance is a
sign
of one’s character,
culture
, and lifestyle. Not only are costumes an inseparable part of each
culture
but
also
, they are a
sign
of their values since
people
unconsciously choose
clothes
that are in line with their mental beliefs and
culture
.
For example
, religious

On the other hand
, most scholars claim that in today’s world
people
have access to a wide range of
clothes
. Advertisements and fashion play an important role in the way that

. Most of the time
people
tend to wear comfortable and cheap
clothes
and they don't like to wear special
clothes
even if they believe in a certain
culture
or belief.
For example
, a recent survey showed that there are a lot of youngsters that wear
clothes
with special signs that are about different topics
while
they have no information about these signs and they chose them based on their desire and

advertisements. In my opinion,
while
it is true that dressing is a

mental beliefs,
culture
and character but it cannot be considered to be the only basis for judgment since there are a lot of
people
that just tend to wear comfortable, cheap and beautiful
clothes
despite the meaning of the signs on the
clothes
or their designs. To put it in a

,
while
it is partly true that clothing is a
sign
of one’s personality and character, I would argue that dressing should not be the only basis to judge someone since in today’s world
people
tend to choose their
clothes
based on different criteria including price, comfortability, and advertisements.
