Fashion And Changing Lifestyles
Fashion, is commonly known as the style of clothes worn by an individual, and the trend is followed by thousands of people globally.We cannot deny the fact that clothes in the modern day play an unmistakable role in our lives as a form of self-expression.
In ancient times, clothes were worn for their warmth to protect oneself against a chilly weather.The importance of clothes to humans just ends there at that time, as people stood tall on the saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’, which explains why their attire was simple enough.On the other hand, people only dressed formally when they were attending an event, whereby men wore bowties and women wore long frilly dresses.As the world advances, clothes nowadays are more suitable to a casual and relaxed lifestyle.To be specific, shorts and skirts are opined to be “the shorter, the better”.
This applies especially to teenagers who reveal more of their bodies compared to their grandparents when they were young, with the aim of making a personal fashion statement, thus catching another’s eye.
Having said all that, it is obvious that our society is changing day by day and we seem to fail to put a stop to it.Research has shown that girls today wear clothes that reveal more than half the percentage of their body, whereas in the past, people were very conservative in their choice of dressing.Today’s generation is forgetting the moral values that have been passed down from their ancestors as boys tend to wear T-shirts with printed foul words and images filled with vulgarity.The sight of this kind of fashion changes in our society will not only catch the attention of people, but also brings down the image of one’s society, leading others to think that we have returned back to a period of time before civilization.All in all, this sort of fashion reveals the decadent lifestyles of the modern world.
Here is a reminder to all of us: Do preserve our etiquette, people! It is not wrong to be stylish – be creative in what you wear, but don’t overdo it by exposing yourself inappropriately.
