I am an international student who has been America for 4 years. The way that I dress changed a lot after I come to America. When I just get to America, It is March. I was very thin at that time. I used to wear polo shirts and jeans. This could makes me looks mature like a man. At that time, I am very care about what kind of cloth that I dress, and what kind of jeans should match my clothes. I also like to wear some casual shoes. This could make me feel comfortable. When I pick a shirt, the first thing is it has a good looking. The second things that I like shirts with lots of patterns. At that time, I just want to be different from others. In another word, I want to be stick out. It is very embarrassed that to see the people who wear the same cloth at that time. When I see the people who wear the same cloth as me, I just want to take my shirt off or try to avoid this person. I do not like to wear necklace, because I do not something that always move around my neck. I like to wear Buddha beads on my wrist, because it is kind of fashion in China. Some people wear it because they believe Buddhism, but I wear it just for cool. As before I used to wear some fancy shoes, I think shoes is the most part of people’s out looking. When I observe a person, I always see this person’s shoes first, because a shoes is not fit for your pants or clothe, you will not look good. A shoes could tell you a lot of information of this person. Choosing a shoes also very important for I think the style that people dress is changing with their ages.

For now, I like to wear things that make me feel comfortable. I do not care too much about how the cloth looks like. The most important for the dressing is comfortable, and the second thing I think about is the outlook of it. There is one thing that I never changed is the white socks. When I was young, I like to wear the white socks. It is because that I think white socks are very clean. It makes me feel good. My mom know I like white socks, she bought me a lot of pairs of it. This is because why I always wear white shirt. My mom always tell me that, if you want to people like you, you should wear tidy and clean. This will leave other person a good impression. I always wear sports shirt and shorts and a pair of Nike running shoes. Most of my sports shirts are white, I think white shirt looks clean. The other reason why most of my shirts is white is I think white color is easy to match every kinds color of pants. Or I do not know how to match clothes, most of my clothes are white and black. This sounds weird, but I like to wear them. I don’t why I do not like the shining colors. I do not like too much pattern on my shirt now. I try to make the cloth looks like a paper. I used to wear jeans or pants in the summer, because I do not want to bare my legs. Now, I always wear different kinds of shorts in summer. I think it is because I already pass the puberty, I more like to talk with people. For the shots I do not like the tight, and I like sports shorts. When I found a shoe is easy to wear, I will always wear the same one until it is broken. For the adornment, I like to wear nothing. I do not like other things on my body except clothes.

I think the way that people dress is like a media between peer communities. Girls always talk about dressing, they share the information of brand. They also like to compare with each other. Sometimes you friends are more likely to know what kind of clothes you should wear. For guys, they also care about the out looking. Some boys like to find confidence from their dressing. If they feel their dressing is not good, they will feel lose. If they feel they look good, the person will feel more confidence. For our generation, the choice of clothes is very huge. I think the most important thing is you know what kind of person you are, and what kind of clothe that could make you look good. I think most people pay attention to the outlook of a cloth, but there are also some people like to wear comfortable dress like me.
