No, there can be so many reasons some one dresses way they do.
A professional may not dress that way if they live country side or depressed or work from home...
Some one may change the way they dress and not always dress the same.
If some one always wears burqa then ...you might assume they are muslim but then again maybe they are in a movie or some thing.
Keep ones mind open some what.

Its an interesting question I thought.
If you went to an interview without making an effort, does that tell the ones interviewing something about you?
or
If you keep wearing dirty clothes does that say you may be lacking in some hygene issues
or
if you have to have the latest designer clothes
or
How do we view people who don't wear what we think is acceptable in most situations..is there a social norm
or
Is our thoughts on the material cloud our minds concerning how people dress?

This is true Undrenovation and I agree, but wouldn't it be disrespectful not to dress in a certain way in differing circumstances... say you were a best man at a wedding... would you arrive in Bermuda shorts and a party animal t-shirt, would people be able to rightly judge you..on the basis of a disregard for the couple being married and the guest?
Totally agree, I think as a society we are to worried about material things..now im not saying that as an excuse for someone not to keep themselves clean and tidy, but more on how we view people, especially those who can't afford designer or even new clothes all the time. Its just a thought in my mind at the moment I've certainly been guilty of judging someone based on their clothes (shamenfully..just being honest).
So I am asking my self how do we view people on how they dress.. and of course the answer at the moment is it depends on the circumstances.

Not really, I would think someone who dresses like a hard core punk would like that kind of music, but they probably also like Classical, country and pop. They may also be a deacon at their church. Who knows? Someone who's a casual dresser like me, might be really up tight and might be a jerk. I'm not up tight or a jerk, but you never know. So I say, no you can't really tell a person's character by their dress.

Well me of all people went and saw a stylist, with a whole bunch of friends who all love the Lord. The lady starting by introducing her very diabled )mentally) daughter to all of us. Who lay down on the floor with her nanny, and just smiled and smiled. She made it very clear to us all that the Lord loves us all irrespective of what people see when they look at us. We may not all of been made perfectly functioning on a level we each understand, but we are all made perfect in Christ.
She then proceeded to show each of us, what colours suit us, why they do and so on. She also made explained that each of us is unique in who we are and how we dress, but always need to do our best to look our best, not because society calls for that, but because we should matter enough to ourselves to look our best.
Does this mean always haveing a suit and tie on, or a smart dress or skirt, NOPE it means making the effort to wear the earings that go with the track and pants, it means to make sure the takkies are clean.
So that is what it is for me now, I do it for me, and it is always totally unconforist, because hey I don't know any other way, but cute, smart, and stylish when it needs to be.

Can you actually tell someone's character by the way they dress? or is it an old wives tale?
Personally I am not totally convinced that's true, but then again could be totally wrong

...to reiterate two old cliches...
"If the boot fits..." ...but at the same time... "You can't judge a book by its cover."
...so where does that leave us? Well, I suppose you'll actually have to get to know the person before making any conclusions. Many books have been written on such things as this...
It matters more for women than men.
If a woman dresses in a immodest way, she can be the sweetest girl you've ever met, but she will be judged as a sexually amoral. If she covers herself from head to toe, then she's a prude, uptight, etc.
However, how we dress does say something about ourselves. It says quite a bit about how we view ourselves and our surroundings. I dress for comfort. Even for church, you can't get me to wear nylons in 102 degree heat. Nope. Not gonna do it. But my clothing is ALWAYS modest when I go out. Because I know that it says something about me.
In my witchy days I wore lots of black, had shirts with occultic stuff on it, etc. I wanted to advertise who and what I was.
Oh, and any woman who says that she doesn't know what her clothing does to men, is flat out lying. She dresses in a provocative way to get a reaction. Now, why she feels the need for that reaction will vary, but the vast majority of the time, it's because of how little she values herself and her fear issues.
