Can anyone please help me correcting this article? How clothes can represent culture and character? Some people say that your clothes tell who you are. Although clothes don't advance as other aspects of life do (e.g. technoglogy or food), clothes for some people constitute a major part of their thinking and budget. That is because they believe that their appearance reflect their identity and their clothes represent their characters. For example, a man who always follows a formal dress code, will definitely give you a feeling that he is a business man or someone who is important. A man who follows a casual dress code (i.e. wears t-shirts and jeans) will give you a feeling that he is not going to work or he is not in a management position. Also, a woman who wears hijab will give you a feeling that she is a muslim or she is trying to keep her hair away from sun or dust. Also, a woman who is wearing classical dresses will give you a feeling that she is trying to show her feminism. Beside representing one's own character or identity, clothes also represent culture and sometimes origin. For example, when you see a man who wears a white dress and a white scarf on his head, you will know that he is an arab who is coming from gulf countries. But when you see a man who wears a closed jacket and pants with the same color, you will recognize that this is the indian suit and most probably he is Indian. Additionally, when you see a woman wearing a multi-colored dress and wearing a scarf with the same pattern, then most probably she is from middle or central Africa. All these examples are very few compared to the actual diversity in human clothes and taste. Finally, everyone can make their choice for wearing what matches his character and culture at the same time.

How can clothes represent culture and character?

Some people say that your clothes tell who you are. Although clothes don't advance as other aspects of life do (e.g. technoglogy or food), clothes for some people constitute a major part of their thinking and budget. That is because they believe that their appearance reflects their identity and their clothes represent their characters.

For example, a man who always follows a formal dress code will definitely give you a feeling that he is a businessman or someone who is important. A man who follows a casual dress code (i.e. wears t-shirts and jeans) will give you a feeling that he is not going to work or he is not in a management position. Also, a woman who wears hijab will give you a feeling that she is a Moslem or she is trying to keep her hair away from the sun or dust. Also, a woman who is wearing classical dresses will give you a feeling that she is trying to show her feminine side.

Beside representing one's own character or identity, clothes also represent culture and sometimes origin. For example, when you see a man who wears a white dress and a white scarf on his head, you will know that he is an Arab who is coming from one of the Gulf states. But when you see a man who wears a closed jacket and pants with the same color, you will recognize that this is the Indian suit and most probably he is Indian. Additionally, when you see a woman wearing a multi-colored dress and wearing a scarf with the same pattern, then most probably she is from middle or central Africa.

All these examples are very few compared to the actual diversity in human clothes and taste. Finally, everyone can make their choice for wearing what matches his character and culture at the same time.
