Sometimes I think, I'm a shopaholic. I like different styles and I really feel different changing them. It's not because of dresses, they don't change us, we change them according to occasions. If you have a meeting at work, you will dress something smart with pumps. And that environment demands another behavior. If I'm going to trip in mountains I'll wear my baggy trousers with ordinary t-shirt and enjoy the nature. And what do you feel when you wear your black night dresses?! How can't you change your behavior from ordinary when you are at the wedding ceremony of the best friend.Of course you will dance and have a fun.
I don't think nowadays people have any difficulties with cloths. Thanks to China and Chinese people , they have copied all the brands :) A bag purchased by me of cost $79, during sale time, without shipping cost is bought by my friend of cost 15 dollars!
Wearing orderly, tidily, neatly we feel self confident. It's normal.It doesn't really matter how much a person's dresses cost, but they should be chosen tastefully.
How can we give a chance to the dirty bagger in the street? Will you go and talk to him and ask how is he doing? Unfortunately he can be in a bad mood, and does something furiously, have thought you are joking with him.
Everybody pays attention to the dress when you first meet. Indeed everybody is estimated regarding his or her way of thinking, intelligence and worldview.

People act differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different clothes can change the way a (person) behave(s)? (The way people behave?)
Nowadays, clothes are very important for the image of a person. From the magazines to the fashion shows, people are seen accordingly with the way they dress. If a person dress(es) with a suit then it can be inferred that such (a) person is a professional, and so on.
But is this really true? A person can wear a suit, and it does not necessar(il)y make them professional. However, it does (create) a behaviour change in that person as well as the way that person feels at that moment. That is why I completely agree with the statement.
We live in a world that sees people based on what they have, or how they are dressed. It is very disappointing to realize that this is a fact, and that this plays an important role in our society. When we see a bagger on the street, dressed with an old, dirty, and ripped short, and shirt, his hair all messy, and without shoes, (o)your first reaction is to walk away instead of giving that person a second chance, or even a second look.
What if he was dressed with a clean suit, a hair cut, and shiny shoes(?) Will people look at him in a different way this time ? Most likely yes, because clothes are important for the image that we need to present to others in order to be accepted.
Furthermore, will that same person act, or behave in the same manner that he did before? Now that he is well dressed, he will have more self-confidence, and as a result, he will feel like a completely different person. He will talk more respectfully, and even in a very educat(ed) way. Therefore, it is crucial to accept this painful reality. (T)hat clothes are important, and are a part of being accepted by others.
If you feel beautiful, or handsome, your self confidence will increase immeasurably, and you will not be shy or scared to talk to others, or even to socialize with people you have never met.
In conclusion, clothes do have a big effect on the way people behave. Depending on what they are wearing at that moment, that is the way they will act. Of course, that we cannot generalize because some people are strong enough to stand up for who they are, and as a consequence they do not feel this attitude change. However, it is rare to find someone with such (a) quality in the world (in which) we live today.
A very insightful essay, as ever.
