When it comes to clothe shopping , it can really get expensive; but, is it worth it or is it just to look cool in school? Sure, new brand cloth may look amazing, but are they really worth the price? This is a debatable theme and it depends on the type of person. To set an example of this some expensive brands as: Calvin Klein, Aeropostale, Hollister, and Buckle may look good but they are overpriced and I personally would prefer if there were cheaper clothing but the same quality, and some stores have implemented this, for example: Ross, Walmart, and TJ Maxx. The society in schools is getting worse every day, you get treated by the way you dress and that is not good because not all people have the same purchasing power, so in a direct way the person gets low self- esteem. One good solution to this daily problem is to implement school uniforms even on public schools, or to standardize dressing codes. Some reasons why being cool relates to brand clothing are that you get treated better, you can express yourself, in a indirect way you show your acquisitive power, it can be a factor that defines your social status, one of the simplest examples to defining this are the celebrities, which you never see dressed with second hand close because they get criticized according to the close they use, because close can also tell how educated is your sense of fashion.
