からといって

からといって is used to reject an assumption or stereotype based on a preceding fact. It means “just because X, that does not necessarily mean Y” or “even though X, you shouldn’t assume Y.” It often pairs with phrases like 必ずしも, 〜わけではない, or 〜とは限らない to emphasize that the conclusion is not guaranteed. The nuance is caution against overgeneralizing from X to Y, and it can appear in both formal and informal contexts. Typical contexts include evaluating appearances, status, or common beliefs, where the speaker wants to remind the listener that other factors can change the outcome.
