For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes", and people may ask the question," What clothes
are in fashion this year?" And they often use the word"fashionable" in the same way.."She was wearing a
fashionable coat," or "His shirt is really a fashionable color."
Of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in
restaurants, in films and in books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes by. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see
that fashions have always changed. An English hduse of 1750 was not the same as one of 1650. A fashionable
man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly
than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and televisions can now send information from one country
to another within a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things r so, as you can see, there is a lot of money in fashion.
