【一起闲话英语】时尚对你来说重要吗？-Is fashion important to you?

Eucharia, Ireland

speaker Fashion, well, I can only go shopping once a year so I'm not very fashion conscious. I like clothes that fit me rather than, and suit me, rather than brand labels. I especially love shoe shopping when I go home and my aim is to look nice, not particularly fashionable, but classic¹, that'll do.

 

Jim, England

speaker Fashion isn't really important to me. I just want clothes that look fairly smart and don't smell. If they got holes in them, that's no good but I'm not a follower² of fashion.

 

Jeannie, United States

speaker Is fashion important to me? Not really. I usually wear whatever is comfortable. I don't usually care about name brands or anything like that. I just go with what looks best on me and, yeah, it's got to be cool.

 

Kate, New Zealand

speaker Fashion is not so important to me, but I do sometimes like to put an effort into how I look and into my appearance. I think that fashion expresses who you are and it can differentiate³ you from others but however on the other hand, people can judge you on fashion and your appearance and this is not a good thing. You should look further than the appearance.

 

Rina, Canada

speaker Fashion is not important to me. I try not to be a slave to corporate⁴ logos and I just know what I like and I dress the way I like and if I see something that is in fashion and I like I'll wear it and if I see something that isn't in fashion, or is in fashion and I don't like it, I won't wear it.

 

Marion, Ireland

speaker No, I don't think fashion is very important. I think it's more important to wear clothes that you're comfortble in and clothes that express your personality in some way, so perhaps sometimes I'll see something that's the latest fashion and I might like it but usually, if it's something a bit crazy, I don't like it, but sometimes, then after awhile, after I see a lot of people wearing it, it grows on me.
