#1 The clothes make the man

Many people have heard the expresion 'the clothes make the man' Ithink that this saying is reasonable. Many people would judge a man by what he is wearing and then decide what class of society he is in, or if he deserves their attention. The same thing goes for women and children. Sometimes people will judge you on what you wear and how you look and sometimes that could be a good or a bad thing. On the negative side if you were wearing something like sweatpants and a sweater some people would take you as a person who doesn't care what you look like. They also might think that you are a lazy person. On the positive side if you were to dress formally to attend an interview for a job you'd probably have a better chance of getting the job because you know how to present yourself in a good way. Clothes can show if you are a structured person and know how to present yourself or if you're not worried what you look like and what people think about you.



I think that people can judge you on what you wear because it is like a piece of your personality. It can express what you like, for example if you like sports you could wear a sports team jersey. The clothes you wear however, don't shape who you are or what you do. You are the one who decides if you are a fun, happy, funny, or outgoing person. Your clothes aren't going to make you funny. You, yourself are going to be the person inside you and the clothes you wear aren't going to make any decissons for you. They might give you a little confidence boost, but other than that they aren't going to do much for your personality. Clothes can do a lot for showing people for how you want to express your style but I believe that they aren't really the things that make the kind of person you are.

  3. This was amazing. I agree with you because it's true that some people do judge you by what you wear, but what you wear doesn't actully describe you. For example, like you said if you like sports you might wear a sports jersey. But if you do wear a sports jersey it doesn't mean that you are in love with sports. In this way I disagree with you, you do not have to wear something like a sports jersey if you like sports.
