dress codes

One aspect of Chinese dress and fashion was its ability to communicate the wearer’s identity, social status, gender, occupation, and ethnic background. Identify ways in which modern dress allows one to assume such things about others.

If you dress in a suit in public people will automatically assume that you are male and high class but if the suit is ripped or stained people will assume you were rich but you had budget cuts. If you wore a dress in public it would be the same thing. If you live in a trailer people will assume you are poor. while if you live in a mansion people will assume that your rich. If you have a very nice car, people will assume your rich. It’s all based on stereotypes like if your a male wearing pink your a homosexual even if you just like the color pink and are a heterosexual.
