The Importance of Knowing How to Dress |

The age-old crisis of how to dress is still a very important issue even
with all of the events taking place in the world nowadays. If you ask a
teenage girl about what she should wear on her Friday night date, she
would probably turn it into a dramatic event. Society has made the
drama of how to dress become such a dilemma in human life.
Almost all of the things we do these days requires us to think about what to wear for a certain event or situation. For instance, if you land a job interview, you will find yourself suddenly emptying your closets and drawers to find an outfit that will guarantee success.
I think that it’s tragic that the issue of how to dress has managed to shape people's opinions of others. We would suddenly judge someone who is walking down the street while wearing an outfit that we think is too short or too long. We assume that these people are too poor or too distasteful.
I grow up knowing how to dress for church because my family has always attended a very conservative church. A few weeks ago, I attended church with my best friend who belong to a very contemporary church.
I was very shocked when I saw that the people are wearing shorts and T-shirts inside the church. When I asked my friend about this, she told me that God doesn't care what you wear, as long as you show up. To be honest, I had never thought about that.
We learn how to dress for various occasions from our parents and we carry these invisible guidelines with us into our everyday lives. Our society places such importance on how to dress when there are so many other issues that should be addressed.
When we see a photo of a celebrity dressed a certain way, our ideas of how to dress shift a tiny bit and we tend to gravitate towards their style. I think that it's obvious that the drama of how to dress will continue to be passed on through the generations.
