Question

you cannot judge a man by his coat

Answer 1

It is said that we can judge a man’s character from his dress. But it is not always so. Dress can only help us to a certain extent in knowing the broad facts of a man’s character. A man who wears a costly dress in not necessarily a man of lavish habits. One the other hand, a man who wears tattered clothes is not necessarily a man of miserly habits. He may be doing so only due to his financial limitations. Yet it is true that in some cases dress serves as a useful index to the character of a man. Some common examples, from which we can get some idea of a man’s character from his dress, are given below.We daily come across such persons as put on clothes of loud colors. We find them dressed in gaudy color. They wear bush shirts printed with the faces of actors and actresses. So, is the case with their shoes. Shoes with different designs on them are liked by them. We can easily know the character of such people by looking at the way in which they dress. Such people, if we carefully observe them, are very fond of show and ostentation. They lack the maturity of taste. They do not have sober habits.
