Everybody must be conscious of one thing: fashion. Sometimes people learn about your personality by just looking at your clothes. Besides, your fashion style can determine your lifestyle. Fashion is, therefore, something very important.
If you want to get a job, for example, you must wear smart clothes. After all, it’s important to project a good appearance during an interview.
In Brazil, people wear many kinds of clothes. Jeans, shorts, different dresses and skirts, and T-shirts. Because of the tropical weather, people wear mostly delicate, fine clothes. We have created our own style. For example: Julia likes to wear pink skirts with flowers and shirts with little hearts; Anabelle likes black, and she usually wears jeans and trainers; Fernanda is just like Julia and wears colorful clothes; Catarina has good taste, but she doesn’t care about fashion. She thinks a person should stick to basics.
Here in Brazil, people worry about fashion a lot. They’re mostly vain and they always like to wear beautiful clothes.
“São Paulo Fashion Week” and “Fashion Rio” are famous events in our country. Fashion in Brazil is getting more and more important every day. Gisele Bündchen is helping improve fashion awareness, which already exists here. Nowadays, she is the most important and famous top model in the world. Thanks to her, and the other top models, our fashion in being exported.
