Let’s talk about clothes and fashion. What clothes do you prefer to wear in different situations?

Clothes are very important in our everyday life. People choose clothes according to their personal style. Fashion reflects a social and economic status of each person. TV, music, magazines, our friends and even our parents influence our style. The style is like a language because it can tell much about a person. There are many reasons for our manner of dressing: physical attraction, emotions, religion, traditions.

For example, at school we wear formal uniforms. I think that everybody has the freedom to choose the clothes he/she likes, but we should be appropriately dressed for the occasion. School is a place where students get knowledge, it’s not a playground. So, in general I like my school uniform, but when the school is over I wear my favourite clothes: jeans and sweaters. I am sure casual clothes are more comfortable than formal clothes.

I should also mention that in our modern society fashion models, singers, actors and sportsmen are the idols of teenagers who try to copy their style, hair-do, even walk. You can see the lifestyle of celebrities on TV, in magazines and in the Internet. Their lifestyles play on our feelings and emotions. Some young people spend a lot of money to buy fashionable and expensive clothes. But I’m not a person of that kind. Of course, I like good and attractive clothes, but I try to think twice before spending money on clothes. Besides, the world of fashion is always changing.

Many people think that those who have expensive clothes are much happier in their lives because being attractive is like being rich. That’s why we often judge people by their clothes. The clothes we wear tell a lot about us. For example, people in expensive clothes are called wealthy, rich and beautiful. And, on the contrary, we think that people in old and dirty clothes are ugly. I’m sure it’s better to have your own style in clothes and your own hairstyle to show your individuality.

In conclusion I should say that the best thing is not to worry about your clothes, but just try to be an interesting person.

II.

Do you follow the latest fashion trends? Why (not)?

Do you prefer fashionable clothes to comfortable ones? Why (not)?

To my mind, things that a person wears should be comfortable. It’s better to remain true to yourself. Fashion is not the most important thing in my life, but it helps me to be in harmony with the world I live in. I can’t say that I am a fashion fan, but I always try to keep up-to-date. So I can say that I prefer fashionable but comfortable clothes.

Do you try on clothes before buying them? Why (not)?

When you want to buy clothes it’s necessary to try them on. You need to know the size and the colour of the clothes you want to buy. But the main thing is to know if they suit you. When I do the shopping I always ask a shop-assistant to help me. And I always use afitting-room. Besides, our parents’ or friends’ advice can be very valuable.
