Fashion and clothes

Clothing is something we all should wear in order to fit in to society. The act of wearing clothing is a choice
in some indigenous societies while in a more modern culture you could find yourself in trouble with the
police if you choose not to wear clothes. Clothes are easily accessible and can be bought in most high
street shops. Supermarkets are also beginning to sell clothes. Clothes are for keeping people warm or
serving as protection from the strong burning sun. Certain items of clothing can be expensive, especially if
it is made by a well-known brand or is a particular design. While clothing is affordable for most people, the
price usually depends on the quality of the material used to make the item and its brand name. In most
countries clothing is taxed, while food is not. This is probably because
clothing can be considered as a luxury item, especially if it is of very good quality.

The type of clothing that is worn usually depends on the occasion. People that attend a wedding usually
wear formal clothes. Men often wear suits and women wear dresses. Formal and smart clothing is often
worn in times of celebration. People often wear different clothing at work. Some jobs require people to wear
a special uniform which should be worn by all employees. A pilot, doctor or air hostess may be required to
wear a uniform so that all the staff can be easily recognized. Other jobs are less strict and may allow people
to wear casual clothes. Construction workers are usually asked to wear protective clothing, especially when
the site is considered highly dangerous.

People often choose to wear comfortable clothing inside their own home. This choice of clothing may be
very different to the clothing they would normally wear outside. Some people even stay in their bedclothes
all day on the weekend when they plan to relax and not go anywhere. People often wear clothing which
matches their current state of health or their age. Pregnant women are likely to wear baggy clothes, while
youths often wear tighter clothing to show their figure. Younger females often wear high heeled shoes while
