everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. the best-know clothing companies sell their “designer” clothes all over the world. but the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-know companies. many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. why?

many young people today care about the way they look. they often buy “designer” clothes because they think they look cool. then the less well-know companies make clothes which look the same. but they don’t sell as well because they don’t have the logo.

people also think designer clothes are better made. for example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. of course, this is not always true. it’s the training – not the trainers – that improves your speed or your score. but that’s not the point. people believe that it’s true … and then buy the shoes. the big companies only want to make a lot of money.

above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. all of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. and they succeed!
most people dress in a way that shows off their personality. but if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us? maybe it’s just clever advertising.

so next weekend, think about the clothes you put on. what’s the logo on your trainers? who made your jeans? and how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do? and then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.
