Are You What You Wear?
8 Feb
It has long been debated whether in fact people’s clothing reflect their interior. Terms such as ‘classy’ and ‘chic’ have been coined to describe an individual’s style. But how much do clothes really tell about a person?

Various religions command specific dress codes. Some Muslim women wear hi-jabs. There are Jews whom follow modest dress guidelines. However, there are different sub-groups within religious orthodoxy that dictate more stringent procedures than others. Depending on your sect, there are still many communities that allow for more choice and expression in how one chooses to dress while still adhering to the guidelines.
People who are inspired by fashion are considered ‘fashionable’ because their wardrobe continuously evolves with the fashion. This does not mean they are superficial, but merely suggests that they appreciate beautiful clothing and novel styles by incorporating them into their outfits. Of course, there are some people who dress to portray what they want to be. This would be appropriate if you are required to fit a specific job title.
“Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests.” – Karl Lagerfeld
I think it is fair to say that a person’s clothing can hint to various aspects about them, but definitely should not limit the way we perceive an individual. It is unfair to judge a person according to their appearance. Our job is to show that there is so much more to us then looks. For this reason, laws of modesty have been set into place to emphasize that the focus is on the interior.
How have you accumulated your wardrobe? Have you been religiously inspired? Would you think it is fair to say that the way you dress tells reflects your persona, or your lifestyle? Let us know in the comments.
