Fashion

I think that clothing and fashion are a really important part of who we are. Regardless of whether it is right or not, people judge each other based on appearance. Often, if we haven't met the person yet, all we have to go on is the way in which they present themselves. People can say that they don't care about fashion or what they look like, but in a society that is so image-obsessed, many times the way you look is seen as an indicator of character. Someone who takes pride in the way they look comes across as being responsible, mature and thoughtful. I tend to always care about how I look. I like to present myself as being neat and put together. I put a lot of thought into my outfits. When people see me I think that they associate me with being mature and put together. I think that at this point in time, I am in the minority, at least for my age group. Most young people don't care what others think, which is both good and bad. Good because it allows them to express themselves through what they wear, bad because people judge them quickly.
