The Function of Fashion

“My philosophy has always been to help men and women feel
comfortable and confident through the clothes they wear”.
(Giorgio Armani)
I agree with Giorgio Armani’s point of view: In my opinion, everyone should wear what they like and what suits them. It’s important to feel good about the way you dress. You shouldn’t wear clothes that you really don’t like just because they are fashionable.
Everyone is influenced by celebs. Celebs have an important role in some people’s life. They try to copy their idols’ style and they become obsessed with fashion.
When you are out of control, you just spend, spend, spend . You waste money on things that you really don’t need. You become a shopaholic or a fashion victim. These people are obsessed and they can’t stop buying new things, and normally they become in debt. In my opinion, you should try to be consumer-wise, being careful with your choices and knowing exactly what you need and what you don’t need.
In schools, if you don’t have fashionable or branded clothes, other people will make fun of you. I don’t think it’s correct, because some teens’ parents can’t afford those expensive clothes. You shouldn’t be discriminated just because you wear clothes without a logo.
In my opinion, everyone should choose what they really like and have their own personality and their own style. You should be yourself!
