People wear clothes for many different reasons. To cover up their private parts (such as under garments, loin cloths, and so on). To show who they, such as with fancy or expensive clothes that indicate rank or station, or uniforms indicating profession (Baseball player, chef, letter carrier, nurse). Sometimes clothes are worn to look good, such as tuxedos to celebrate a wedding, dance, or other festive occasion, or suits at a funeral or church service. There are all kinds of different reasons. My purpose for clothing is to establish a personal identity and to reveal something of my personality.
