Some people say that it is possible to tell a lot about a person’s culture & character from their choice of clothes. Do you agree or not?

In today’s ever-changing society,fashion has become a huge part of
this
generation’s lifestyle.While many argue
that is
it easy to ascertain someone’s background and beliefs from the way they dress,others contradict
this
.I partially agree and disagree with
this
notion for the reasons that will be addressed in
this
essay
Firstly
,In some religious cultures,people believe that their appearance is a reflection of their faith.
For instance
,in most Moslem and Jewish societies ,the more they wear certain clothes ,like wearing a hijab ,the better they’re deemed to be holier.
Therefore
,in these societies and many others around the world, one's culture can be easily determined.
However
,it can be very impossible to arrive at a conclusion on a person’s beliefs based on their attire code.
This
is because people wear various outfits based on many reasons like occasion, the kind of job they do or weather conditions.
For example
,a person working in a hospital is mostly seen wearing a lab coat and scrubs .Due to their appearance alone,we cannot ascertain their cultural identity. To sum it up,In as much as in many societies it is easy to derive a person’s cultural beliefs based on their choice of outfits ,we cannot always judge a book by its cover.Other things need to be considered to make an informed conclusion.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
