The code of dress that each individual sets for himself is obviously based on the taste of the individual. In turn, we can say that, the tastes of a person are wholly or at least partly dependent on basic tenets of his character through the medium of the dress he wears, as he wears only what is characteristic of his tastes.
At least in these modern times, we can see so many different kinds of apparels emerging from readymade shops and boutiques and all these as a whole depict the varied natures and characters blooming in today’s world. For those who love to show off and attract attention of the passerby, there are the gaudy colours, gaudy prints and of course peculiar-looking clothes. Such gaudy and awkward looking clothes are chosen to be worn by those who like to invite attention. If we observe carefully, we are sure to find that people who dress gaudily are really those who like to show off.
On the other hand, there are some others who are very careless about how they dress. They are seen to wear any clothes, any shoes, clothes without ironing, shoe with laces open. This category of people is those who are not at home and at work, & perhaps are ill in management.
Sobriety should mean that a person is dressed as though outdated but, even in this there can be some standard of ethics of dressing. If the fashion is to wear salwar-kameez, without a chunni, it will not be considered too backward, for a girl to use a chunni, if she likes. This will only point her as a distinct entity, more graceful though modern. It would be nice, if we could dress more decently and depict our clean thoughts to the people instead of showing them our bodies.
