Halloween Cloze

Fasion vs Sergo


I think that fashion is kind of important for me. It’s because I live in society and its point of view makes me follow some tendencies in the way I dress. But I don’t like fashion magazines, because I think it’s too much. So, when I am buying new clothes I choose them by my inside feeling not by pictures in fashions magazines. That’s important to me it’s I prefer to dress in clothes which I really like. But also I wouldn’t dress in way which could make people around me nervous or criticize this way of dressing. I think fashion it is not a bad thing, but we shouldn’t go too deep in this area.

Fashion is important(Han Park)

Is fashion important to you? Why or why not?

Fashion is important to me because in the case of my country most people want to look stylish. When I was young I used to go to Dongdae-moon, that is  most famous shopping mall in Korea, once a month to buy some clothes. There are many fashionable people and many kinds of clothes. I was very impressed by their fashion style. I started to be interested in fashion since then. I think fashion is kind of confident. For example If I look stylish I have more confidence in myself. Also I can go to a club or somewhere getting  with confident. Sometime I read fashion magazines and watch new clothes on the internet in my spare time.
It's just my hobby. I'll enjoy my hobby. That's why It's important to me.

Am I follower of fashion ?! - jomanah


            A lot of people care about fashion and thinking about their looks, especially teenagers  .  Sometimes people don't care about that and they just want to look nice . I am one of those people . Fashion is not very important to me . I like to wear clothes that look cool and made with good materials . Good quality , most comfortable and nice color are what I want in my clothes . However many designers don't make clothes with these things . That why I am not  follower of fashion .  I like to wear new clothes always, but I buy clothes that I like . I believe that what you wear depends on your personality . Remember that you control your clothes not the opposite . 

Fashion isn't important Peter

I think fashion isn’t important.Because nobody will appraise someone
in fashion.
Nowadays a lot of girls wear the fashionable clothes in the winter . The clothes aren’t warm but beautiful and sexy. I think it’s stupid . Although It’s
attractive, these girls will get a cold . I prefer to wear comfortable
clothes than fashionable clothes. I just need to wear the fashionable clothes
in meeting situations and some birthday parties.We don’t have to care about fashion too much.
If you wear fashionable clothes, maybe someone will talk about your clothes,It’s good or ugly. The
fashionable clothes are expensive, so it's ok if we can buy the clothes which are
comfortable.

Israel's Fashion opinion

IS FASHION IMPORTANT TO YOU?

A lot of people really love fashion, and it’s an important thing that all people think about (especially teenagers). Sometimes people spend all their money to buy an expensive suit or the jeans that the famous singer is wearing.

Fashion is a little important to me, because it makes me feel good. Sometimes wearing good clothes give me confidence to do things. I think wearing brand name clothes is unnecessary. You can look good and not spend a lot of money at the same time, for example buying in H&M, Zara and Sears.

So my opinion is we don’t have to care a lot about how we look, we only have to be interested in our personality.

"Is fashion important to you? why or why not?"


I'm going to write about "Is fashion important to you? why or why not?"
In my opinion fashion is an expression of myself, so fashion's important.
Another reason is we can't live naked, so we have to wear clothes in society
Every day we meet new people and we can't know each other well the first time, but we want to make good impression so lots of people care about it.
In conclusion, fashion is important but it's not everything.

The Majority of people like fashionable clothes if they have more money. Anyone can wear fashionable clothes anywhere do not worry about anyone. Some time I like to wear loose trousers. I do not like to use second-hand clothes i have never used second -hand clothes. Sometimes when i walk on the street i see people wear attractive clothes it is cool sometime. I like to wear wool clothes.Some people are fashion-conscious...

My fashon mind "Yamil"

My topic is "Is fashion important to you? why or why not?" Fashion is important to me. I like to go to a wedding or special places and wear a good suit. It’s not comfortable but makes you look elegant and you can see the style of the other people. They are an expression of myself and yourself. If you're lazy you don't have good style every day. Some people dress in style not because they like it, but because other people criticize for me it's not a problem .

Fashion

Fashion is very important for me.It is part of my life. It makes me feel good. I love fashion. We must wear clothes to go out, so, I want to wear better, cute and stylish stuff.

If I wear ugly clothes or clothes don't match, I don't have patience to stay out side. I want to change my clothes immediately.When I try new clothes this sometimes happen to me.
The clothes express myself that my feeling and condition . For example when I catch cold, I can't pay attention to my clothes.When I am fine, I can care detail part of my fashion.
And clothes keep my body shape. My clothes become measure my size.

So I stick to clothes everyday.
To be happy.

      There are many countries that have traditional clothing . They wear these clothes in special places or special occasions.   I am going to talk about Saudi's traditional clothing . There are different names for men's and women's clothes  . For men they are named Thawb but for women they are named Abaya . Both of them are a long dress with different colors and different styles .  The white color is common for men's Thawb and they wear a special hat under a special kind of scarf it called Chmag and a headband. Chmag also has different colors but the common in Saudi Arabia is rede with white . Some cities prefer the white color for Chmag and they called Ghutrah . The groom also wear Bisht on his Thawb and in my city we called Mishlah . For women's Abaya the black color is common there . Sometimes there are some colors with the black specially for young women . Some women like to cover them faces or just cover a half of the face .  A lot of people like to try our traditional clothes because it is very nice .

Hanbok

Hanbok is the traditional clothes in my country. It is the most beautiful clothing I’ve ever seen in my life. But It is too difficult to wear everyday. So most Koreans wear these when is on New year and Thanksgiving day. Recently It has become more easy to wear it. So I sometime can see people who wear Hanbok in Korea.

My favorite clothes brand is Zara. It’s made from Spain and is one of the most popular clothes brands in the world.

The most traditional way to wear in Mexico like a Cowboy. If you want to wear like a cowboy, you need jeans, cowboy shirt, cowboy boots and a hat. The people who wear like cowboy is the people who work in the farms and in factories. The people wear like that, because it’s can help you for don’t feel the warm weather.

Zucca

My favorite brand is “Zucca”. Its designer is Japanese, Zucca has a branch in Paris too.

The designer sticks to material, shape and personality. So these are too expensive. Almost all clothes cost at least over $100- , even T-shirts. If I buy a coat or boots , I have to pay $700-.
But these clothes look normal. Not gorgeous not shiney.So my mom wonders why I buy such expensive clothes.She always tells me you can buy these stuff in discount shop around our house.
But I love Zucca. I have never seen anywhere like this clothes.

My favorite fashion item


My favorite fashion item is jeans that have strong quality so they will last long time and that I don't need to take special care of. In addition that style will change as time goes by, so I feel like wearing new jeans everyday.
When I was younger than now, I liked expensive denim brands such as Diesel and True Religion, but now I don't like expensive fashion items. So one of my favorite brand is Mod nine, many people don't know about this brand because it's a small company, but this brand has a lot of fans, so when they release new products sometimes the company site goes down, because this brand sell products only on the Internet.

My Favourite Brand

My favourite brand is Apple. The company was made by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. They were in university but, they had withdrawn from it. They started in 1970. They were working in the garage of Steve Jobs' parents in Los Altos, California. In July 2011, Apple had opened 357 stores worldwide. I love the Apple company for many reasons . For example, all the products are high quality, simple design, and the important thing is the good prices. I have bought many things like ipod, iphone, and ipad.
