It is often said that first impression has a significant role in determining one's characteristics. Some people may be opposed to this statement because people's real identity can be confirmed by their inward things. However, I definitely believe that first impression implicitly represents almost all of the people. This is because people's behaviors and face expressions unintentionally contain individual features. What is more, the way to wear clothes also have an enormous cue about the people.
First of all, it is no wonder that people's inclination can be examined by their face expressions and behaviors. People's thoughts, stances towards world and doctrines are undeliberately represented by positive or negative thoughts on something and facial expressions such as habitual smile or frown. For example, according to a recent study, 70% of subjects answered that they experienced the accordance between first impression and the real features of a person. The study also mentioned that although a person have a plastic surgery, his indigenous facial features tend to remain because of his habitual and accustomed expressions.
Also, clothes tell about the people's tendency. This can be classified largely inward and outward personality. Those who are active, energetic and have a large number of relationship tend to wear bright and decorative clothes. On the other hand, those who are inward, timid and passive are likely to hide themselves with dark and calm clothes. For instance, I have a friend who are too inactive to the extend to not express her emotion to anyone and always enjoy loneliness. She always wears dark-colored and non-ornamental clothes because she doesn't want to be noticed by others. And when I met her first, I absolutely got to know her personality at a first look by just inspecting her clothes without any conversation.
In short, I agree that first impression plays a pivotal role in describing one's characteristics. One significant reason is that one's clothes and behaviors which have an influence on first impression contains a huge amount of information on the people. Although it is unreasonable to judge someone with only their cover, it is unavoidable that people's appearance imply many things of them.
