What is fashion? Fashion is what and how we wear something. It might be anything like a haircut, watch, bag, earrings, necklace, hat or clothes. Clothes that are in fashion can make people look and feel good about themselves. Some clothes like jackets, t-shirts and sneakers have always been in fashion.
什么是时尚?时尚就是我们穿什么,怎么穿。 它可以是任何东西,比如发型、手表、包、耳环、项链、帽子或衣服。 时尚的衣服可以使人们看起来和自我感觉良好。 有些衣服,如夹克、t恤和运动鞋一直很流行。
trends Fashion follows trends. A trend is a change to something new or different. We know a trend is happening in fashion when many people are wearing it. Trends are popular for a while and then they are not. Legwarmers were a trend but now they are old-fashioned. The people who design and make clothes are always trying to think of new fashion trends. Ripped jeans, t-shirts with holes in them and jackets with fake patches were trends too.
时尚紧跟潮流。 趋势是对新事物或不同事物的改变。 当很多人都在穿的时候,我们就知道时尚界正在发生一种趋势。 潮流流行一段时间,然后就不流行了。 暖腿裤曾经是一种潮流,但现在已经过时了。 设计和制作衣服的人总是试图想出新的流行趋势。 破洞牛仔裤、破洞t恤和带假补丁的夹克也很流行。
fast fashion Fast fashion clothes are made from cheap material and are also cheap to buy. Often the clothes are the latest trend. Large numbers of them are made quickly. They are sold around the world, all at the same time, but only for a short while. one of a kind People who like fashion, but don't want to wear the latest trend, might get a designer to make them clothes that no one else has. It might be a dress or a suit. These one of a kind clothes are always handmade from the best material.
快时尚的衣服是由廉价的材料制成的,买起来也很便宜。 这些衣服通常是最新的流行趋势。 它们中的大部分都是快速生成的。 它们在世界各地同时销售,但只在很短的时间内销售。 喜欢时尚,但又不想穿最新潮流的人,可能会请设计师为他们做别人没有的衣服。 它可能是一件连衣裙或西装。 这些独一无二的衣服都是用最好的材料手工制作的。

Their outfits can look simple, cool and outrageous. There are many kinds of street fashion. A few are hip hop, punk, goth, skater, geek and chic.
其他不想穿最新潮流的人,常常自己装扮自己的时尚。 他们把快时尚、回收衣服和独一无二的衣服混在一起。 他们的服装可以看起来简单、酷和离谱。 街头时尚有很多种。 一些是嘻哈、朋克、哥特、滑板、极客和时髦。
