BÀI MẪU: 

It is increasingly common for the youth to keep up with the latest fashion trends these days/ Today, fashion is becoming an important tool for people to pass their message across. From my perspective, this trend entails both positive and negative effects on the youth. 

Considering firstly the positives, one of the most obvious is to satisfy a requirement for novelty. This is because fashion conveys a lot about our personalities, tastes, and lifestyles. Thus, experimenting with new fashion trends enables the youth to try out different styles and figure out how to make them look more stylish and fashionable. Another significant benefit is a greater sense of confidence. For those who are smartly dressed, there is a high chance that they can make great first impressions with others, and their self-confidence in their appearance helps them bond with like-minded people as well. As a result, this can build a successful personal and career life, thus providing a sense of fulfillment. 

With regard to the negatives, the most noticeable one is its adverse effects on juvenile minds. Instead of investing in books and study, teenagers spend a lot of energy searching for trendy clothes and try to imitate fashionistas and celebrities. This will make them more materialistic, thus being judgmental about other people’s clothes and their fashion sense. Furthermore, being fashionable has financial repercussions on families. Since the world of fashion is always changing, keeping up with trends constantly is astronomical. This can cause conflicts and tensions between parents and their financially dependent children. 

In conclusion, my view is that although following trends is beneficial in terms of meeting the needs of novelty and boosting confidence, it is important to consider that they also harm young people’s cognitive development and put a financial strain on their families.
