For some of us, fashion is a kind of religion or, even worse, an obsession. And when fashion gets such "value, these people cross the threshold absurd and will be treated as such by their peers. So wake up fashion obsession turns against them, they become slaves ... Slaves of fashion, which Montfleury said that "adapts fashion wise, but fools are slaves to them. For centuries on end, fashion has defined the company image and to obey them was equivalent to obey social conventions. But, after all, clothes make the man or the man make clothes? At least to us, clothes make the man. Unfortunately, for many matters the first point, people tend to judge him by those near her clothes, but not always believe what you are really wearing. Rather, fashion is an interface between man and society. We have become slaves of fashion and department stores. More recently, some of us began to make friends according to the clothes they wear company, which is very sad. So, today seems not to matter if you went to school ... of two in three, if education is lacking, important appears to be just money, money that "break the shops, and later, the mouth of the fair. So any lady with pockets chockfull, no matter what, and how is the head, can build an image for others, putting on it some "textile company, a purse and some shoes, leaving a modern and pedicure done, gave back all fair. Here, unfortunately, the times we live in all these matters - will be treated with great respect because of her clothes. In conclusion, it seems that nowadays, makes clothes more ... Even man, I mean ... But clothes are on us because we let ourselves, we are so shallow that only the exterior look - more if they could, in this fierce competition for brands, let us all tags on the outside would be very happy ... I think it would be good, above all, to know that it depends how one looks a coat on, what was a match, to raise his value. So wear appropriate clothing in place!

Now this is my take on this; clothes do not make a person. A person can be of an awful character, and even if they are dressed at their very best; people would still look at them as being a bad person. It is your good moral principles that goes a long way in life. Now I can say that certain clothes you wear helps to brighten or uplift your spirit.

the clothes you wear can make or break your style, nomatter how we say that what is important is the appearance, we can not deny the fact that clothes are plus factor, its the outside appearance that can be seen firsthand so we are often being judge from that.

Yes, I think what someone wear or how they present themself's can say alot about who they are. Of course I was taught this when learning to interview people at my job. People who dress nicer and have good posture are more likley to do better at their job then someone who is the opposite of that. Also you can tell alot oabout someones personality by the colors they wear or the styles they have on. and you can usualy tell how wealthy someones is by the brands they wear but that one dosen't always work.

It goes for women too. But in some cases, I've seen some people dressed to the nines and they turned out to be dirt bags, and imoral.

Clothes do have an effect on people .i notice when i dress up i get looked at, spoken to nicely in shops and better service.when i have no time to dress up i feel inferior being out in public.i always dress up to go shopping.shop assistants can be very unhelpful and snooty if i arrive in my tracksuit. it makes me feel better too when i am dressed.yes , clothes maketh man.

Well..i think cloth give the identity of a person.If you saw a person first time ,at that time his cloth will tell that whether he is good or bad guy.

To a great extent I agree with the statement. My reservations rest on the fact that apart from having a closet full of fine clothes, the wearer actually need poise and grace to carry the clothes well. Clothes and poise complements each other.

Well in a way yes and no. What maketh a man is how one carries himself.
