Fashion
- Let’s talk about clothes and fashion. What role does fashion play in your life?
Fashion is something we deal with every day. Even people who say they don’t care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day.
Fashion is a language which tells a story about the person who wears it. We often judge people by what they are wearing.
Some people, especially women, believe that wearing a lot of make-up, having long nails and long eyelashes makes them pretty. I don’t find people who put on a lot of make-up attractive. I don’t understand it when both women and men who don’t look ugly go to plastic surgeons to improve their bodies and look more attractive. Some people make tattoos or scars, have their noses, lips, eyebrows and other parts of the face and body pierced to follow the fashion.
I can also add that “all that glitters is not gold”. You should not be deceived by appearances; you should use your mind and soul to determine whether the person is trustworthy and pure in their intentions.
- Do you prefer fashionable clothes to comfortable ones? Why (not)?
As for me, while choosing clothes, accessories and a hairstyle it is always important to remember the rules of politeness, that there are different styles of clothes for different types of events. From my point of view, things that a person has in the wardrobe should be comfortable to wear. It’s better to remain true to yourself. I usually spend little money on new clothes and my favourite items of clothes are blue jeans, grey sweaters and black boots. When it’s cold I often put on my warm jacket. I feel like a fish out of water when something doesn’t suit me.
Fashion is not the most important thing in my life, but it helps me to feel in tune with the world I live in. I can’t say I’m dedicated follower of fashion but I always try to keep up-to-date.
- What questions can you ask a shop assistant in a big shop?
- Could you help me to find a ready-made women’s/ men’s department?
- What can you recommend for black-and-white party?
- Does this dress/ costume suit me?
- What would you advise your friend who wants to buy some new clothes?
If you want to purchase clothes, you can go to department store. These shops carry ready-made women’s, men’s and children’s clothes and some other things. But before any kind of shopping you have to plan everything carefully. It means you should decide what you need first of all then you should know how much money you can afford. The next step will be going through some shops so as to find out the types of clothes and their prices.
I wouldn’t recommend rushing at conclusion what to buy. Think everything over and then you may go exactly to the shop you are going to make your choice at.
- A famous person once said: “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say”. Do you agree with this? Why (not)?
I like this saying. Some people try to be fashionable at any cost. But they may not have their style. Fashion will not help you to look attractive if it is impersonal. Also there are cases when these or those fashionable clothes don’t fit you. In this cases only your personal style will help you to avoid clumsy situations.
Besides, fashion is so changeable. As for your style, it is unique and reveals your personality.
