Class #3 The Language of clothes

1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I judge people by some measures according to what they wear. Because Ithink that the clothes show what kind of boy/girl he/she is.
Also, If I see the person who wear similar type of clothes, I feel close to the person.

2. Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
No. Because many Japanese wear clothes that are in fashion, especially young people.
I think that we can judge as someone continue to age.

I wear black dress and white jacket clothes now.
I have a lot of white and black clothes. They don't reflect my mood today.
Sometimes clothes reflect my mood in my case. For example, Iget the urge to wear more color clothes when I am good mood.
