HOW IMPORTANT IS FASHION TO YOU?

I'm not really interested in fashion but I like wearing labels because I feel good wearing them, my favorite type of cloths is hooded tops and shirts. I think my personal style is casual or maybe trendy. I think that my friends don't criticize my style or the clothes I wear. I don't copy any celebrities, I think it's stupid. I really don't wear any accessories, I sometimes wear a watch but it's rare. I think teenagers are more interested in the way they look than who they really are. I also think that teens think that it's too important to be popular at school and dress with trendy expensive clhothes. I look up to teenagers that just don't care about what people think about their style, if they are poor or don't have money to buy labels or good clothes. Those people that tease other people because of their style, they are just being stupid because if that person feels comfortable with those clothes let it be. Maybe teenagers that are popular for wearing trendy clothes may feel good in those clothes but maybe they don't like those clothes because it isn't their style, they just wear them to be popular and cool. I don't think parents should interfeer in the way their kids dress, because it's up to them deciding thir style, i feel about those kids that really don't like wearing smart clothes, because they don't feel good wearing them, but their parents make those kids wear those clothes.
Hi, i´m not really interested in fashion, I think that people should accept me for what I am,and not because of the way I look. I really like sport clothes, it’s what I often wear. I don’t wear jewellery or make-up, I think is not important now. My style is sporty.
I think my friends don’t play any role in the way I dress. I don’t like imitating celebrities, I prefer wearing something that makes me feel good, instead of imitating the other people.

I think fashion isn’t always important, but for me it is. I like feeling good and comfortable in my clothes and I also like dressing fashionable and sometimes trendy clothes. That isn’t because of what other people can say about me, it is because I like it.
I like wearing casual clothes and accessories to complement them as scarves, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, belts and watches. I love my watches! I sometimes wear trendy clothes in special ocasions like when I go out or when I go visit my grandparents in Lisbon.
I consider myself a casual girl with a casual style. I think I’m just “another one”, but that’s OK, I don’t need to stand out in fashion.
My friends had a role in the way I dress, because when I was little my mum used to choose my clothes, so I dressed much smarter than now. In fact, I didn’t like that much those clothes and my friends dressed so diferent, so one day I went shopping with my mum and I told her that from that day on I would choose my own clothes and that’s what happened this far.
Celebrities don’t play a role in my way of dressing. Sometimes I can see a well dressed famous person, but I don’t change my style because of that. Well, I have never changed my style because of celebrities but there’s always a first time for everything, but honestly I don’t really think that will happen someday!

My image is very casual. I usually wear jeans and t'shirts. My favourite accessories are bracelets and rings because they suit girls. My style is very, very, very casual, but I wear make-up. I'm vain. When I go singing, I always wear a dress. Sometimes I look like a lady, it is very funny !

Fashion is not important for me because I have my own “style”. I really like black clothes because black is a nice colour for clothes. People think that imitating fashion is important because they want to have “style”. My friends play a role in the way I dress. I like wearing nice clothes but I don´t like making fun of those who don´t wear them.
My favourite clothes are black jeans, black t-shirts and black shoes.

I don’t think that fashion is important and I disagree with those people who tease the others because of their clothes. I have the right to wear what I want and nobody has nothing to do with that. The most important is feeling good with our own clothes and if the other people are just our friends for our clothes and just accept us for that, we don’t need them and they aren’t real friends.
I like hooded tops, and shoes. I sometimes wear boots. I sometimes like wearing bracelets and watches, I think caps are nice, but I never wear them.
I don’t follow any special style, I just dress my clothes and these clothes are the clothes that I like. I always dress the clothes that make me feel nice and comfortable.
My friends don't play any role in the way I dress ; they don’t talk about my clothes and if they talk that is because they aren’t my friends. The important is making friends because of our personality and not for our clothes.
I don’t follow famous people's clothes and I don’t know what they dress. To me famous people are just important to make films, programmes and songs.

I’m not really interested in fashion. My favourite clothes are the ones that are good and comfortable when I wear it, I don’t usually wear accessories but my favourite accessories are sunglasses and watches because sunglasses protect my eyes when it’s sunny, and the watch because it helps me knowing the hours. My style is more the sporty and casual one, in winter I wear a hot jacket and some jeans, and in summer I usually wear a t-shirt and shorts. I’m not influenced by celebrities or my friends to wear different clothes or in the way I dress, because a person tries to change me or just wants to be with me by the clothes I wear, this person isn’t a real friend.
