I think, sad as it may be, a lot of people do identify what someone looks like and how they dress with their social appearances. So much of what we see in society today is driven by image. We are constantly told that we NEED that big SUV to feel like a real man or we NEED this new outfit if we want to be considered attractive that it's become hardwired into our minds.

In most cases, those with more money will dress in clothing that costs more money, dress in more name brand clothing and in general have a larger variety of clothes because they can afford to buy more.

Yet, some people with a lot of money will spend very little on clothing and save it or spend it elsewhere, so the belief that how you dress reflects who or what you are is in many cases flawed because someone with less money could spend it all on one nice outfit whilst someone with a limitless supply could spend very little on clothes and appear to not be as wealthy as they truly are.


Also of note, oftentimes we will attempt to look our best when going out for the night or going for a job interview because again, sad as it may be, first impressions can sometimes be all we get and we want to try and give the best impression we can.

Though there is a great deal that can be done to combat this knee jerk reaction to someone and perhaps stop the judgments that are put into effect strictly through how someone dresses, it is a process that will take a lot of time, energy and patience from all involved.

Deep down, clothes are just clothes. To me they express a part of who you are but are never the whole picture of who someone truly is. I've found some homeless people or folks who appear to be down on their luck or not have a great deal of money to actually be extremely intelligent, articulate, polished people whilst others of extreme wealth can barely complete a sentence.

It all depends on the person.

Take care all.
