Traditional or modern clothing?
In the past, people wore clothes more closely related to their culture but today people are more likely to wear clothes from all over the world. Is this a positive or negative development? #IELTS
As cross-cultural awareness of diverse trends grows, so does international clothing trends. Observing this phenomenon there is an increasing debate about whether people should wear traditional clothes from their cultures or not. People tend to ask themselves if this is positive or negative for every independent culture. My perspective on this matter is that comfort plays an important factor in selecting daily clothing and having worldwide trends increase a vast sense of unity. Below, the following essay will demonstrate arguments in favor of wearing the same clothes all around the globe.
Firstly, comfort plays a significant factor when an individual is buying any piece of clothing. Unfortunately, traditional clothing is not always practical. Depending on the country’s weather or environment they could be extremely uncomfortable to wear. As an illustration, the old Indians from the North of Mexico are the perfect epitome. The women from the old-fashioned Indian community tend to wear beautiful and colorful long dresses. Bright colors such as pink, red, green, and yellow are used in wonderful patterns. However, in the desert area of the North of Mexico, these are non-practical outfits. The hot weather plus the lack of efficient mobility are negative outcomes of this wonderful cultural heritage.
Secondly, worldwide clothing trends create a major sense of global unity. In today’s modern world advancements in fields such as transportation, make the possibility to travel overseas an increasing ordinary event. Nowadays a major number of young adults are finding scholarships to study abroad in developed countries. Likewise, thanks to the internet, which allows us to connect with employers worldwide, more people are acquiring the opportunity to gain working experience in other nations. Having the same clothing trends allow humans to connect easily with other cultures. The case of the brothers Mony and Molly from Colorado in 2019 is the perfect illustration of the sense of unity in clothing. These brothers were separated during their birth. Molly was taken to China by mistake, they found themselves on Facebook and were reunited by Oprah. Molly said during his Oprah’s interview, ‘’The first thing that came to my mind when I saw him was that we were alike, we were even wearing the same clothes’’. The fact that this individual is impressed by the clothing is an illustration of global identity.
In conclusion, today people wear clothing comfortable and practical. Even though traditional clothes are the heritage of our cultures, daily life comfort is more important than tradition. Likewise, wearing the same clothes around the world give a sense of unity in academic, professional, and personal fields.
