Many people consider that it is essential to wear stylish clothing in their everyday life. This essay believes that this is a negative trend for people should consider wearing attire that is comfortable rather than trendy. Firstly, this essay will discuss the importance of wearing clothes that give comfort and secondly, the negative effects of following fashion trends.
On the one hand, there are many types of garments that are available in the market, as demand grows from season to season.
People should choose clothing that gives comfort rather than following trends, as these are much cheaper and not complicated to wear. Comfortable clothes can also relieve stress as they are made from light-weight fabrics and are very affordable for they don’t have intricate designs that can add to the cost of the clothing.For instance, an article in Harpers Bazaar Magazine from 2016 reported that elaborate designs in designer clothes could make the price of the clothing increase by 89% from its normal price.
On the other hand, being fashionable can be a burden. There are many instances where people have purchased stylish clothing on a whim without considering if they can really afford it. They believe that by wearing something chic they can be popular and ‘on trend’ when in reality trends change fast, so buying fast fashion is not really a good way to spend money. Owning the latest designer handbag or shoes can also cripple your finances, even though people may see them as being investment pieces. For example, according to a study by the Metrobank Philippines in 2016, it revealed that 75% of credit card delinquents are women that purchased items of clothing and accessories from high-end brands.
In conclusion, I believe that although looking good is important we should also take into account comfort over style. However, following the latest fashion trends can lead people into debt, which is not a good thing.
