It is a common
trend
 in many countries for individuals to purchase garments and groom themselves in line with the
fashion
 in vogue. In my opinion,
this
 is a negative development, which has an adverse effect on cultural background.
This

this
trend
. The obvious reason why individuals pursue

As a result
