"CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN" - A SAYING THAT HAS BEENAROUND A LONG TIME -

Shakespeare might have written the idea ("apparel oft proclaims the man"), but Mark Twain gave us a more up to date view on this as it was him who said, "Clothes make a man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." but actually it is older than that!!! A similar expression was current among the ancient Greeks [3000 years ago]: 'The garment makes the man.'

what do you think it means?
