In some countries, people follow the latest fashion and hairstyles. In your opinion, what is influencing this? Is this a good or bad thing?
Fashion
has changed drastically from how it used to be years before now, and people do not want to feel left out in this
change, so they begin to follow and dress accordingly
to the latest fashion
trends. People are influenced by the desire to feel confident in themselves and also
because of the influence of their favourite
celebrities. In my opinion, it is a bad thing.
One of the main reasons influencing the need to follow latest fashion
trends is the desire to feel confident. Wearing latest clothes and hairdos could make some people confident in themselves, as they would be admired by others and also
complimented. Compliments have a way of boosting people's morale. For example
, a fashionable woman tends to receive a lot of compliments from both genders. Thus
, making her feel like she is on top of the world. Another reason why people follow fashion
trends is because they are influenced by their favourite
celebrities. Many celebrities create fashion
trends and their fan would follow these trends because it was created by their favourite
. To illustrate, a fan of Beyonce, a female musician, could dress up like her because she is her favourite
celebrity.
Following fashion
trends could bring adverse effects on people's lives. Firstly
, following latest trends is not cheap. Therefore
, people buy clothes, shoes, make hairdos that are above their budget and tend to borrow money from friends, family members and even the bank to pay off their debts. Finally
, it is time-consuming. Most people complain about the time spent following trends, looking for the latest fashion
online and in shopping malls. Some people can spend a whole day trying to find the latest clothes. For instance
, parents complain about the time spent by teenagers and young adults in malls and online shopping sites, just to purchase some fashion
items.
In conclusion, in some countries, its citizens religiously follow the latest fashion
trends because they are influenced by their favourite
celebrities and also
to feel confident. But, in my opinion, this
has adverse effects in their lives.Submitted by laceyintimates47 on
