People are always into latest trend or fashion. For instance, office workers tend to wear semi-formal or formal attire, I enjoyed talking to them, it shows their pleasing personality. What makes them act like this? Could it be the clothes?

I think a person's behavior is made up of his personality, any clothing worn.

@Shavkat Interesting post. Though I don't feel clothes reflects one's personality. Though, I'm sure things we wear can enhance our confidence or lack of depending how we are feeling about ourselves.

Nowadays, things had changed on how a person portrays its role in the society. The outfits are becoming the dress codes on certain occasions such as business, meetings, parties, etc. People's personalities will still remain not unless they tend to change, either for better or worse persona.

I don't think it's connected with the clothes. Everyone was born good until he find bad attitude to take it as example for his own attitude. I think people who are able to afford things are happy in general. Money makes the world better place if you have them and bad place if you don't have them in your pocket. I am sorry that I connect money nearly to every topic, but it is true. People with satisfied needs are much more happier and pleased than the others.

I remember learning in school that money only effects happiness to a certain point. Of course if your basic needs are not met, it is difficult to be happy. However, when you exceed a certain level of wealth, you actually begin to feel less happy.

Hello Fencer and welcome here! That's exactly what I meant. Even wasn't meaning a wealth, just meant simple things like paying the bills, buying this or that - probably usual things we need in our daily life, clothes, something modest to make us feel good. Wealth is a heavy word for me, it was the same meaning as rich, which I really don't need. Just I want more people to be living without so much stress, as it is now.

I do not think that you have a pleasing personality just because you have nice clothes. However, perhaps some people's confidence is impacted by their attire, and this boost in confidence affects their mood.

Not exactly, I think. Because no matter how much or how good you dress a person with nasty attitudes, it will still show. (You can't exactly hide nastiness, sooner or later it will stink). There are those people who have cheerful disposition and good manners but they just happen to have simple tastes, or limited resources to equip themselves with trendy clothes. It's not always about appearances, although they are important, it only shows you a portion of what a person is like. Once a person opens his or her mouth, then that is a good indication of their personality.

Here we have a very known common phrase "show me what you are wearing and the way you wear, im telling you what kind of person you are" (something like this, there are not the exactly words because this is in spanish). I´m not talking about trendmark, I´m talking about what kind of clothes you use it. I think they show you fashionable likes. A mean, you migh have not much money, but you know how to wear clothes, even if they arent from famous designers. On the other hand, you migh have gold, and be rich, but if you dont have this essencial for how to dress, you may be choose the most expensive jacket, or dress, or skirt, but if this is not compatible with your lifestyle and your likes, that´s not good. Also, there are different kind of clothes for each situation, I think we should learn more about it and use the specific for an specific situation or place, a meam, im not going to use a joggin to go to my work if Im not a personal trainer, or use a very short skirt and a very tiny shirt if im going to an interview to apply for a job in a formal bussines. I´ve tried to be the most clarified and made an effort to use my english the best I could, sorry if it seems not so good.

At some times the answer would have to be yes for sure since it ultimately determines how they are comfortable in it.some people dont feel comfortable at all in some harsh clothes during summer time and ultimately they will feel irritated and their personality might change.Clothes play a significant and vital role in influencing their behaviour,attitude etc in all dimensions
