Do people mistake you for another race?

I really have no idea. When I was doing my master’s 1/3 of the class was from greece/cyprus and they all thought I was from there. When I asked them why they said it was partly because of the way I dress… which at that time was pretty standard jeans + tops (same as the English girls). The only thing I can think is that I shopped in Spanish shops like Mango?

ohhh okay, yeah same here, I don’t dress any way out fo the ordinary…regular jeans/sweaters/teeshirts shoes etc but I feel like part of why I get mistaken for another ethnicity is because of the way I dress. But idk.
