Fashion

   Dress codes exist in every profession . Starting with the uniformed personnel down to the fashion conscious,the populace dress accordingly . Famous fashion designers have often made fashion statement and dictate the fashion trends. Some have managed to maintain a clientele that have remained loyal to the fashion icon but others has moved on to other  newcomers .

   The legal fraternity has their black and white attire . The policeman are in their blue uniform while the army is in their typical jungle khaki wear . Each profession is recognisable by the colour . What about the schoolchildren ? The drab dull dark blue with a white top has a saving grace in that the dark blue can be dirtied and pass muster . But the secondary blue with white for a girl and the male is in dirty green are not that eye catching. Fortunately preschoolers have quite colourful attire if they need to be uniformed .

  I am all for decent dressing . Of course , I am in favour  of fashion but there is a time and place for everything . Some young adults do not know how to dress for the place . They do not know the meaning of respect other people . If young adults break the dress rule , what can we expect of the teenagers who are still did't know everything .

   Teenagers should know when not to come in shorts or funny T-shirts . Female teenagers should not be attired in flimsy clothes or short skirts for formal place or event . Their shoe attire should be appropriate . Flip-flops , unbuckled sandals or dirty sport shoes are known as old fashions .

   Sometimes, I do not blame these teenagers for their parents are seemingly attired and sometimes we find that mothers are older version in their daughters attire . With such role models, is it of any wonder that young ladies fail to see the logic of being approriately dressed?

   I feel that older adults should set a good example to the younger genaration . I believe that it is fine to adhere to changing fashion but there is always a limit to being overdressed or underdressed for some occasions . You do not want an observer or fashion editor to say that you look like a Chrismas tree .On the other hand ,someone might comment that you  did not have a cash to buy enough material to sew that outfit .

   Nevertheless , there are some mothers and fathers and grannies who are fashionable yet decently clothed . These are the ones to be emulated . Blind pursuit of fashion is not the way to keep you in spotlight . Learning to have a sense of fashion , knowing which style,colour or cut suits you would go a long way to turning you into a lady or smart gentleman .
