In many countries, people now wear western clothes such as suits and jeans rather than traditional clothing. Is this a positive or negative development?

It is common to see more and more people wear modern clothing

such

as suits and jeans in many parts of the world these days.

This

is, for the most part, a change for the better, though there are some negative implications. At the outset, there are some valid concerns over

this

rising trend of wearing modern, western outfits. The most worrisome aspect of

this

phenomenon is the loss of cultural values. Because traditional

clothes

are representative of our cultural identity, less common use of

this

type of

clothes

is likely to lead to the disappearance of our cultural norms. The popularity of western attire might

also

spell doom for local businesses that specialize in making traditional items of clothing. As more and more people purchase modern outfits, there will be less of a market available to domestic manufacturers.

This

is compounded by the idea that the skill of traditional clothesmaking might be lost

as a result

of the trend in question. I,

on the other hand

, see the growing popularity of western

clothes

as a positive turn of events. The main reason here is practicality. Most western

clothes

tend to be flexible and durable compared with traditional ones due to the fact that the former is made of synthetic fabric, which is known for being elastic and long-lasting. More on the practicality argument, western

clothes

provide better insulation on cold winter days and more air circulation on hot days of summer: a western coat with several layers of coating is clearly superior to a single-layered quilt Uzbek chapan.

Besides

, western outfits are preferable as far as professional representation is concerned.

This

can be reflected in the instance of white-collar workers who tend to wear a black suit and a white shirt, as opposed to blue-collar workers who wear jeans and a T-shirt. In conclusion, while some object to the idea of wearing western

clothes

on cultural and economic grounds, I would argue that more people should be encouraged to adopt a western look for practical reasons

such

as flexibility and distinguishability.
