FASHION

When we buy clothes there are a lot of complex decisions to make. Is fashion, comfort or price the most important thing to consider? Does it matter if you wear different clothes from all your friends? We asked two young people what they think:

Damian ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Well, I suppose fashion is important to me, but I like to be comfortable too. I do a lot of sport so I like more casual clothes – but I prefer to buy smarter tracksuits and trainers. My friends all wear them, although they don’t all do sports! I don’t think the clothes you wear are the most important thing about you. Some of the boys in my class wear quite old-fashioned clothes, but they’ve got girlfriends – it doesn’t make any difference. The most important thing is to be yourself.

Sally ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I like designer clothes because I think the quality is better. Of course, they’re more expensive and I haven’t got much money so I buy other clothes too. I think most designer clothes are too expensive – they should be cheaper. I never buy things that are on special offer – they’re usually the clothes that the shop can’t sell and they’re always horrible. I think being comfortable is as important as looking good. Most of my friends are interested in fashion too.
