English Reading(Pursuing Fashion)

Pursuing Fashion

People's tastes in clothes differ widely. The considerations in buying clothes are also various. Some people are believers in simple style:some people have a preference for clothes made of natural materials,such as linen,wool,or silk.There are also people whose choices in clothes are not out of comfort or necessity;they wear whatever in fashion.Today more and more people follow the fashion. In fact,it is the fashion that decides what most people wear,and they are not aware of the great influence on the way they wear.

  The reason for people to pursue fashions may not be complicated.First of all,people want to look attractive.They buy fashionable clothes in order to look better.However, we often see short-leg ladies wearing mini-skirts and heavy people wearing tight clothes. We also find many adolescents,who are the fashion mongers and have a strong desire to be different from others,wearing the same big,baggy clothes that are in fashion.

  If people can understand that fashions do not assure us of being more attractive what they want will probably not go against what they choose.And hopefully people will learn to choose the right wearing thing for themselves!
