Journal #28

Nowadays, clothes are not only for covering people's body, but also decorating people's appearance. Clothes can tell others about your personality and taste even emotion. When we see some people at the first time, we have the first impression and judgment from them. And, the judgment usually comes from clothes which he or she wears. When I take a walk in campus, I can see a lot of different kinds of clothe style. Although I don’t know them, I already have some judgment from their clothes.

Usually, we have some stereotype about clothes. For example, when we see some body who wear colorful clothes, we think they must be outgoing and easily getting along. So, we think that making friend with these kinds of people is easy and won’t be refused. Furthermore, people who wear colorful clothes usually look like more confident then other clothe style.

Sometimes, we can see people who wear the same style clothes, and then we can distinguish that they belong to which group or come from which country. For example, when we see people who wear loose clothes and paint, or lopsided cap, we can know they are really interested in hip pop culture and belong to hip pop group. On the other hand, if you see people who wear kimono, you can be sure that they come form Japan. Therefore, you can get much information form clothes.

Obviously, clothes can tell a lot of information about people. Clothes also can reflect people’s thinking and personality. Next time, when you meet some body, you can just use clothes to judge them, and then you can prove your opinion.
