Clothes Can Tell a lot about a Person

Clothes are so important for humans. It’s not just a cover for body, also it does can tell a lot about a person. We can realize personality of a person or which type of social group is this person from the clothes that each person wear. Also, we can sometimes comprehend the country or the religion of a person by clothes that a person wears.
First of all, Each person by wearing each type of clothes can show the personality of his or her self. Some people don’t know or don’t care about that and wear any thing they like. A person should wear a type of clothes that mach with her or his personality. For example, I know someone who has very good personality and she is so nice, but her clothes are totally different from her personality. She always wears clothes that show her personality like bad girls.
Second, the important thing that many of people can understand from clothes that each person wears is social group. Each person can tell others his or her social groups by clothes that he or she wears. For instance, if I see a person in the street that wear dry and scrappy clothes I can take a idea that this person is homeless , so it’s easy to find social group from clothes.

Next, from clothes that each person wear sometimes I can find which religions is this person or from which country is. For illustration, if I saw a women that wear scarf and her dress is long I can easily understand that she is a Muslim.
In conclusion, clothes can tell some important things that each person wants to know about others. I think people should care about the clothes that they wear, because sometimes other people think wrong from them.
