Modern people cannot imagine their life without clothes. The initial purpose of clothes was practical.
The early people began putting on animal skins and leaves of plants to protect themselves from heat, cold, rain, snow and other threatening conditions of the environment. With the appearance of various professions clothes became functional.
Typically men’s clothes include all sorts of trousers, shorts and suits. Trousers are recognized by the most gentlemen of the globe as genuinely men’s outfit though they are equally popular among modern women.
Most teenagers say that clothes show their personality. Besides, they are the first thing people see when they meet them. Teenagers believe that clothes help them produce a favourable impression and they say they feel better when they are dressed well. Young people also use bright make-up, cut and dye their hair and carry different accessories such as bags, purses, glasses, jewellery, hats or scarves in order to attract attention. Some youngsters are fond of experimenting with their look and mixing styles. But I don’t think it is wise to become a fashion victim.
I believe that clothes do not make the man. The main aim of clothes is to protect the human body from extreme weather, insects, chemicals and other hazards. The second aim is to attract attention and to indicate status. In my opinion, the main thing about clothes is comfort. As for beauty and style, they are less important.
