Not the same Why bother? Being first In the name of fashion Comfort over style
Five different approaches to fashion and style
When it comes to fashion and style, different people look at it in different ways. For some people, being dressed in the latest clothes is a must, while for others comfort over elegance is far more important. Here are five approaches to fashion.
(a) __________
This kind of person would die for fashion. It's not that they want to look like other people, in fact they don't. They want to be the ones that other people want to copy, the ones who decide what is fashionable. They spend a lot of time shopping trying to find that new look.
(b) __________
For this person it's all about the label. If it doesn't have the right name on it then they won't buy it. These people are willing to pay more simply to have the right brand like Bench, Levi's or Nike.
(c) __________
It's all about image for these people. But unlike other people, it's almost an anti-fashion statement. They deliberately dress to look different, but also to show that they belong to a particular group. Good examples of these kinds of people are Goths with their black clothes, big boots and dyed black hair.
(d) __________
These people really don't care whether it's fashionable or not. For them, feeling good rather than looking good is what is important.
(e) __________
The final type of person is the one who is just plain unfashionable. There is absolutely no thought put into the clothes they buy or wear. This is the kind of person who gets up in the morning and throws on the first things that they find - even if they don't match.
