ResponderEliminarClothes are a very important and personal thing. Piercings, metallic bags and T-shirts with slogans are some complements that we can see nowadays. Each one dresses as he likes and that's why there are many styles to dress. On the one hand , when you see someone on the street and you like the way he is dressed, you create the first impression of that person and we must be careful with this, because sometimes the others could have an erroneous impression of us. On the other hand, the different looks make a place more interesting and that's very good!
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, clothes should be comfortable and we have to choose our perfect size because our bodies are all different. But the most important thing is to feel well with your own look, because clothes have no gender, if you like them, put them on!
I´m not a fashion slave but a fashion fan! I prefer wearing comfortable clothes and feeling well with myself even if those clothes are not in fashion. I don´t spend money on buying the latest clothes if I don´t look good on them. Sometimes I buy modern clothes but I´m not obsessed with them.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, it´s more important to feel comfortable with what we wear and make a good impression because that counts a lot in our society. I don´t agree with the people that spend a lot of money on clothes just to be fashionable.
To sum up, the latest fashion is very expensive and isn´t always beautiful or comfortable!
In the world of fashion there is only one value: money. Up to a certain point it is necessary, because we have to dress, but they make us believe that we have to go to fashion and buy a lot of clothes.
ResponderEliminarFrom my point of view
there have always been the rich and the poor
However
fashion for me is something unnecessary something we could all live with if it did not exist and even better
because because of it many people suffer, physically, psychically, socially ... and it's something that lasts for a while and then goes out of style and other new things come out
for not feeling accepted

ResponderEliminarFor me, fashion in clothes is not important. I usually wear the clothes I like, although it's not the clothes they wear on TV or in magazines.
EliminarThe most important thing to wear clothes is to be comfortable and feel well.
Fashions come and go, piercings, tattoos... I like seeing them, but do not do them, I respect who wears them.
With the food it is different. The fashion of street food is for some people, I am celiac and I can have few fashions in food.

ResponderEliminarI´m a fashion fan and not a fashion slave . I enjoy wearing modern clothes but doesn´t obsess me. I think the most important thing is to be comfortable and dress as you like. Sometimes people wear clothes that maybe don´t like it too much buy they wear them because they are fashionable.
ResponderEliminarOur bodies all come in different shapes and sizes so we should develop our own shopping strategy. Fashion is different in each country and people dress in different way , however , it´s important to remember to choose a look that you feell comfortable with . Just be yourself !
The clothes is a important thinks in like, because like the face and the look is a mirrow of your personality, and gives us clubes as a person but of eres observe. I am very stumbborn chen I byung clothes but is it not a thinks that I excites mucho because to go for house by for the shops os very esausted.

ResponderEliminarStreet food fashion is a British revolution of food that is happening in the street.
ResponderEliminarAt this moment a lot of people are selling the most exciting food in vans. These vans serve lunches and fresh dinner at cheaper price to the consumers , but it´s not as easy as it looks. They have to get up early to prepare the van and the physical work is very hard.
Tom Colicchio and other chefs have sold their food in a lot of places like San Francisco and Las Vegas.
In my opinion street food is a good and easy way to sell cooked food and earn a living.

In general, I love fashion, although I admit that some things I don't like some things at all.
ResponderEliminarEveryone should dress with what they really like, not with what is fashionable. Also, depending on what your body is like, there are certain clothing that suits you more than another. That's why there are many styles and fashions.
On the one hand, fashion has many good things. For example: thanks to it there are more jobs, some people are happier ...
On the other hand, our fashion creates a profile of us that can be confused.
From my point of view, you should wear the clothes you want and that makes you feel more comfortable.

ResponderEliminarMany people like clothes and there are many different styles. Everyone can dress as they want, moreover when we see people in the street wearing a type of clothing different from ours we can make up a first impression which can later be erroneous, but Are we fashion fans or fashion slaves?
ResponderEliminarFrom my point of view, we should be a fashion fan because If you are a fashion slave, you could go crazy. You should dress as you like and be comfortable with yourself. Fashion slave change their way of dress when the fashion changes and they spend a lot of money to be fashionable.
Many people wear piercings to emphasise their style and to be different, one of the most famous style is a black or blue jeans with a basic t-shirt and each one adds their personal style with complements like bags, scarfs...
To put all in a nutshell I have to say that everyone should wear what he likes and feels comfortable with themselves.
Who cares how you look if you have a good heart? People who aren't rich can't always afford the latest style. Even if they are smart and kind, They will be judged unfairly. That is like prejudice. It can lead to bullying and social isolation, Which can lead to depression and mental health issues. First impressions aren't important. People should judge by what's on the inside, not how you dress.
ResponderEliminarMany people like to wear clothes from brands and there are a lot of different styles such as retro, style, oversized, rocker, punk, etc. My style is varied, but I like to always go with trackie because it is more comfortable.
ResponderEliminarAre we fashion fanatics or fashion slave?. I’m a fashion fanatic because if I was a fashion slave, I could go crazy. From my point of view, we should all have our own styles and dress the way we want to be happy with ourselves.
People who are slaves to fashion, like influencer, models, change their way of dress every time fashion changes and spend a lot of money to be fashionable. I could not be in the place of this type of people, because I would go crazy when buying so many clothes and also would have to have a lot of space to have it.
In conclusion, we all have to have our own style and wear the clothes that are the most comfortable and suitable for us. The clothes I like the most is the trackie, because it’s comfortable and the most important thing is that I don’t get cold. Every person has to feel comfortable with themselves.
