Fashion

Many people claims fashion is a waste of money because it comes and goes, it is difficult to find your own  or that "it" style, it helps the wealthy gets wealthier, etc.  Despite all the arguments at hand, I want to argue that fashion is important as a part of life.  Fashion is everywhere so we cannot shun and run away from it especially in the 21st century.  First of all, it expresses who we are.  Our fashion style shows other people who we are. Wearing different colors expresses our mood and our internal dialog at times; if we are happy then we may be wearing a bright neon color apparel and if we feel down, we may opt for the darker shades.  Not to mention, and sadly, people constantly make judgements on who we are base on how we dress, whether we like it or not. Employers forbid any stereotyping and labeling but judging others is a natural human instinct that we cannot escape and make it disappear.  It is the fact about life.  We are judged at school, job interviews, in romantic relationships, in friendships, and particularly when meeting new people.  Judging is not an all wrong act; it helps us to protect ourselves from the unknown and from any potential problems.  Lastly, fashion is important because it allows us to make good first impressions to employers and potential relationships.  Humans are meant to connect with others and fashion allows us to connect with other like-minded people and to help us transition into a new group or setting better.

All in all, fashion has a cost to it but investing on it will make a difference in a person's life. Its impact on other people and future relationships can go unnoticed at times but when we are aware at the fact it does make a difference, we can use it to our advantage.
