求‘Are you for or against following the fashion trend’短文

think we might as well follow fashion trends so long as we do not go to extremes.There are various reasons for people to follow fashion.To begin with,a new trend often involves new ideas,which may promote the development of human civilization.For example,when jeans and T-shirt first appeared,they might have looked strange to most observers,but later on people found them to be convenient and practical.Second,as often as not,fashion followers just need a way to show their determination to avoid tradition.Sometimes they do something different because they are not satisfied with their status or position.They want to show their dissatisfaction or indignation by wearing different or even unusual dresses.

The third argument I’d like to put forward is that the choice of a certain style can usually reflect one’s taste.We can often hear such comments as “Her dress shows a good taste”.Sometimes the fashionable clothes may give them more advantages over others in front of some opportunities.Here is my fourth reason.Some people wear stylish,expensive clothes to show they have lots of money or are in a high position.In this way,they may feel more confident about themselves.You may not like this,but it is cruelly true that some people judge you not by your personality or intelligence,but rather by your appearance.Just as a saying goes,“Clothes make the man.” Indeed there are many reasons for us to follow fashion,though I don’t mean that we have to do it all the time.

Against “following the fashion trend”
I’m against following new fashions blindly.Though some people may give a variety of reasons for adopting new trends,I’m convinced that there is more harm than good in it.First,many fashionable things are not really practical.Do you think a lady wearing high-heeled shoes can walk fast or climb a mountain?Second,most fashion trends don’t last long.What’s high fashion this year may go out of style next year.This naturally leads to my third point.Fashion causes a lot
of waste.If expensive clothes are thrown away next year,it’s undoubtedly a waste of money.

In my opinion,students should spend their time and money on study.By acquiring more knowledge,they will eventually prove to be more useful to society,and,in turn,they’ll be amply rewarded sooner or later.If students indulge themselves in fashion,what they’ll suffer is not only a loss of money but also career opportunities.In western countries,a punk (年轻无知的人) with his hair dyed green may find himself rejected at one job interview after another.I think the above arguments are sufficient for us to come to this conclusion:Don’t follow fashion blindly.The most important thing is that what you wear should fit your personality and your status,and,you should feel comfortable
