AW8.Fashion
If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes the answer will probably be “To keep warm and to cover my body”.These are the basic reasons clothes are worn,but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies,most clothing would be simple and cheap.In many countries,however,clothing is sometimes very expensive.The main reason for this is not the cost of the fabric or the cost of making the clothes.The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen,for example,often wear very expensive suits,shirts and ties.Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie It’s still just a suit and tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer.A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer’s body just as well.
Fashion is constantly changing,which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months,even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice.Some people have closets full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion.Being fashionable,therefore,can be a very expensive pastime!
