Fashions

Fashions today rule the world. We are living in the age of fashions. Young boys and girls are mad after fashions. The word “fashion” is on the lips of every man, woman and child. After all, what is fashion? Oscar Wilde, declared, “Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is whit other people wear.” Fashion, in fact, means to took to look attractive and beautiful. Even in the past young girls adorned themselves with all kinds of flowers and wreaths. A famous saying goes: “He or she who goes against fashion is himself or herself its slave.” No wonder young boys and girls have installed in their hearts gods and goddesses of fashion. Today, everybody likes to be in the swim of fashions. Young boys and girls try to look smart and active. College students are very particular about their dress. They spend more money on acquiring the latest “cut” and “wear” than they spend on books. Even elderly people try to look younger than their age. Boys keep long hair whereas girls go bobbed. The way they dress up and do their hair provoke laughter of the on-lookers. In fact we are becoming fashion addicts. The fashionable people vie with one another for the possession of modern gadgets like color T.V. mobiles and motor cars. The need of the hour is that people give up the craze for fashions. They may look smart but they should primarily be healthy, intelligent and well-poised.
