Fashion trends are difficult to follow these days and it is widely believed that there trends exist just to sell clothes. Some people argue that we should not follow fashion trends and we should dress in the way we like. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is widely believed in today’s world that the latest fashion trends hold great significance. On the other hand, such trends are believed to be set only in the pursuit of profits for large designer companies. Personally I think that we should pay more attention to individuality and comfort in the way that we dress.

Firstly, fashion designs exist as a form of creative artistic expression of the designer. Although this may be true, undoubtedly such designs take away individuality once a trend is set in place. There is nothing unique about wearing what everybody else does. If everyone wears the latest colour and design in summer skirts, do we look the same?

Secondly, it is possible that fashion trends can look extremely stylish to the general public. However, the main purpose of wearing clothes is for more functional reasons. Clothes were traditionally worn to protect people from climatic conditions. For instance, even today clothes are still worn basically to keep people warm and dry in winter and cool in summer.

Finally, fashion certainly gives us a sense of confidence and pride in our appearance. While this is certainly a good point, it also means that following such changeable trends proves to be expensive. For example, purchasing every latest season’s fashion clothing will of course blow the budget of many people, especially young people.

In conclusion, there are various arguments to support the dismissal of fashion trends, including not following others, comfort and price, which I strongly agree with.
