答案 Should We Follow Fashions? Fashion is often associated with what pop stars or celebrities are wearing,but it actually refers to much more than the exclusive and expensive clothing produced by leading designers. Instead, it means clothing that is in style at a particular time and implies the process of innovation and change in dress. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with following it as long as we do like what is in fashion. First,fashion adds spice to life with its rich color,variety,and beauty. The fashion industry has been experimenting with a wide range of colors,patterns,materials,etc. , and as a result,offers consumers a more diversified selection of clothing. A Bohemian voile dress can give an unfettered touch to office women by freeing them from tight dark suits; a cowboy hat brings a bit more masculinity to a routine shirt-pant outfit. Different ways of dressing can help us take on a fresh look, have a good mood and fit in on various occasions. In fact,the world would be a dull place to live in if people always wore clothes of the same design. Hence, fashion change satisfies our desire for new and different styles. Second, fashions in dress distinguish one generation or age group from another, as they cater for varied tastes for beauty. They have taken very different forms at different time,so we would look strange indeed if we wore the styles our great-grandparents wore. As a matter of fact,most people follow fashion to some extent; even schoolchildren are aware that fashions exist, and change, in their running shoes. In a sense, the function of clothing is not just to keep us warm; the way we are dressed also speaks for our pursuits and values, reflects our attempt to differentiate with the elder generations. Third,mass production makes fashionable clothing cheap,available to everyone. Some people claim that it is a waste of money to follow fashion because of its high cost and changeability. However, thanks to the rapid development in this industry, many well-designed items are now within our reach. A pair of leather boots may cost down to 200 yuan; a fashionable dress may only takes you 50 to 60 yuan. If you have an eye for fashion, some of your bargains will even stand the test of time and never become out-of-date. Fashion does have its critics,who have at times denounced fashion as irrational, frivolous, and immoral. A common accusation is that fashion designers accelerate fashion change to create new business. Yet no new fashion succeeds until people are ready to accept it. Judging from the above analysis, it is not a bad thing for the consumer to move with the times and enjoy new fashions.
