Young people are now spending more and more time and money following fashion trends. What is your opinion? Is this a positive or negative development?

In

this

day and age, more and more young people tend to spend an increasing amount of

time

on clothes to assert themselves and dress up. There are several reasons why

this

trend

occurs but personally, I believe that the demerits of

this

trend

surpass its merits. On the one hand, spending too much

time

following fashion fads can make the young waste a great deal of

money

. As there are dozens of brands with various prices and designs for them to choose from, they are easily tempted to buy things impulsively and misspend

money

on unnecessary stuff.

For instance

, when some big brand names launch new clothing collections, a shopaholic may splurge their

money

on

such

up-to-date clothes;

however

,

such

items often end up old-fashioned and being left in the wardrobe.

As a result

,

this

issue imposes a significant financial burden on teenagers and their families.

Moreover

, running after fashion fads might be considered as a bad

behavior

student in the school environment because dressing flashy means you are neglecting to study.

On the other hand

, there are

also

some advantages to

this

trend

.

First

, in terms of the young, spending

time

surfing the net and allocating their budget on trendy items is considered a method of relaxation. In modern life these days, young people have to deal with lots of pressure from school or the workplace, so

this

trend

helps them enjoy their life and effectively release their stress.

Secondly

, nations’ economies

also

benefit from

this

phenomenon. The increase in the amount of consumption will promote manufacturing and commerce in the fashion industry, which

will create more jobs and boost economic growth. In conclusion, I believe that devoting a huge amount of

time

and

money

to slaving to be fashionable would be beneficial to some extent, I strongly believe that

this

can contribute to a host of drawbacks.
