Do clothes make the person?

[Mitera Nikkou]

Yeah, you know what option that I chose. XD

Of course, if I bothered with it, I would say that it is most of the time. Because people have to use clothing to put on an identity for other people, in the work place, in places of faith, for ceremonies, traditions and all of that stuff. It does depend on who's seeing the person wearing the clothing as far as its meaning is concerned, but, ultimately, I think there's an overemphasis in the modern world to assume a bullshit identity to get through life, or to assume an identity (that's required for whatever you may want to get involved with) as your own. In my opinion, it does more bad than good. Makes things more stressful and redundently complicated. At least to me, it does. So says the one that would rather not wear clothing. <.<;

[Cow Belle]

I don't think so. :p

[Stellar]

Half the time

[Kara-chan]

Clothes are somtimes important but even a pretty gown won't hide a horrible personality. And a coating of muck won't disperse a razor sharp wit and genteel act.

[Sensei Kimiko]

Pretty much what Kara said. It can influence what you think for sure, but it isn't the only factor.

Where I work, we have to go out and talk to people at different locations, which can range from rodeos to the floor of the state senate. If I walked into a rodeo in a 3 piece suit, I'd probably be laughed out of there. If I walked in to ask a politician for an interview in jeans and cowboy boots (unless he happened to be mayor of a farming town or sommat), then he wouldn't give me the time of day. First impressions are the most important, and clothing plays a big part of it.

[Helel]

The only times I would say clothing makes a person is when the clothing is specially tied into what they are doing.

Examples of this would be weddings and formal ceremonies, and then acting and such.

[Anamnesis]

I suppose clothes would make the person if it's the first time you are meeting them; The first thing yousee is their clothes, and many people make guesses about their character by looking at what they wear...

[P-tan]

it depends: if your goin 2 school with a dress code, then wear the uniform! if not then wear whatever!! (just dont streak during a football game)

[SweetSophia]

I chose sometimes. Clothes only serve to accentuate the person, they help you get a better idea, but the are not the end all beat all of definition.

[ZeroForever]

most likely sometimes, from the formal occasions like wedding where the gown helps make the bride and such, casuel and work setting i don't see as much of a effect.

[Mistress Guendolen]

I say it's a pretty good fifty-fifty. For instance, there are certain sorts of clothes I have to wear to work, that which is deemed "professional." And there was a specific sort of garb I had to wear in my brother's wedding, delineating me as a bridesmaid. But on a casual, day to day basis, my attire doesn't matter much. As long as I'm comfortable, I am who I am no matter what I have on.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Aww... No one wants to be nekkid with me? XD

[Aaron]

it's 105 degrees outside, no way I'm getting nekkid when my netherreagens would be burned away.

[Mitera Nikkou]

XD;;

That's what mud and foliage is for, to prevent such a thing. :3

Besides, what good is the nether region? It needs some shedding light upon once in a while, anyway! *_*
