The role of clothes these days might define who you are or which social class you belong to. That is the reason why people try to be iconic through their clothes and their styles. It is widely believed that changing from traditional clothes, which people used to wear in the past, to different clothes like nowadays is negative. From my perspective, this trend can be said to have positive influences on humans, with a number of reasons which will be outlined in this essay.
It’s true that some attempt to express their sense of national pride by dressing traditionally. With the purpose of class distinction in the past, people tried to separate those kinds of clothes. For instance, females of the upper class in Vietnam used various styles of “Ao ba ba” to indicate their social status. People back then would be judged by society and considered weird if they dressed differently. Therefore, these people might not migrate to other places, rather than contribute to the development of their community.
On the other hand, there are numerous benefits that people have the right to choose or wear everything they want. First, the freedom people can receive not only justice through many wars but also the right to change their own appearances. Additionally, this pattern increases financial gain for the fashion industry since it allows people to dress in a variety of ways independent of their nationality or social status. Consequently, no matter who you are or what social class you are in, you still have the right to choose and wear what you like.
In conclusion, from my viewpoint, this trend has positive effects on society and the fairness between individuals. Last but not least, being able to make our own decisions about our health, body, and sexual life is a basic human right.
