In many countries, people now wear Western clothes (suits, jeans) rather than traditional clothing. Why? Is this a positive or negative development?

In recent decades, Western clothes

such

as jeans, suits and shirts have become more and more popular in

fashion

culture in many countries around the world.

Although

some opinions state that

this

trend

might challenge the preservation problem of traditional clothes,

this

development needs to be carefully considered as a positive change due to various advantages.  There are a number of reasons leading to

this

fashion

trend

.

First

, the Western

fashion

seems to have more conveniences in usage when compared to the traditional costumes.

For example

, to emphasize the formality of the traditional clothes, these clothes are usually designed with varieties of details which could possibly interrupt users when they are working, studying or practicing exercises.

Second

, thanks to the globalization, citizens of faraway countries are now able to purchase Western clothes with affordable prices. In fact, they can even get better deals with these clothes than the traditional costumes because of the competitions between apparel companies.  Even though the

trend

has received some criticisms over the years, it has positively affected those countries in many different ways.

First

, in order to meet demands of Western clothing, garment industry has been invested with more capital and facilities.

This

action supports not only the development of apparel industry but

also

the whole economic system in those local countries.

Second

, along with the substantial economic impact, Western clothing

also

brings more variety to existing markets, giving customers more options to weigh their decisions. It is clear that people should not be limited themselves by wearing traditional costumes for all occasions.  In conclusion, the Western

fashion

should be embraced according to its advantages overwhelming disadvantages. From my point of view, one considerable movement is supporting the development of

this

modern

fashion

trend

along with the preservation of the traditional clothes.
