We are what we wear

Nowadays we live in a world in which clothes plays a big role in our life, even we
realise it or not.
Firstly, wearing a certain type of clothes creates our own style, that highlights us in
the world. Every style is different and original, and it makes us being individual. Also, having
and respecting a style is the way that people perceive us as a human being. For example, I
always wear a shirt and people makes a first impression about me that I am very serious, and
that is right.
Secondly, “we are what we wear” because we want to show that to the world. You
will never see a person wearing a T-shirt printed with a superhero on it if that person isn’t
childish. When I am not wearing a shirt I am wearing T-shirts with my hobbies, like
computer sciences and math, because I want my friends to know which are my passions and
what I enjoy doing in my free time.
In conclusion, I can say that our style defines us as a person and we need to be careful
about what we are wearing because this is the way that people percept us.
