Informal Writing 5

In other peoples eyes, I must not an obese and fat boy as well. I have 5 feet 11 inches tall. So the proportion of my body looks very good. It is boy standard body proportion. If this standard of body proportion in America, American must think too slim for a boy. You can easily to meet someone over weight in America when you are in the street.

To say honestly, I am not a really slim boy. But you must ask why me look very slim and do not have any fat in my body. Very simple. It is very simple to cover my fat because I like to wear black tee-shirt and straight jeans. In fashion world, black can make people looks slimmer than wear others color. In my life when I lived in Macau for nineteen years, I attached importance and carefully to choose my clothing such as tee-shirt and jeans. But in America, no one care what you wear. Even if you dress with the problem or your clothing exposed the shortcomings of your own. there do not have people use discrimination perspective with your clothing.  

In my hometown Macau, obesity is not a crime, but a fat person does not obey that rules and exposed the shortcomings of his/her own, he/she would commit the “crime” against fashion. People very value the clothing problems in Asian. they consider people should wear their right clothing. Such as fat people should be wear their clothing on the black color. If you wear leggings with big hips, I am surely people will stare you with laughing or discrimination perspective with your clothing. It's very normal in my hometown Macau. People do not let their commit the “crime” against fashion. That's why I love to stay in America. There are not people care about what you wear and fit on your body or not. I think America do not have commit the “crime” against fashion issues. Because no one care what you put on your body. How come commit the “crime” against fashion?

Different countries have different culture. I think no one disagree what i am say. Culture is the main point of commit the “crime” against fashion. If your are in America, who care you wear wrong clothing. But in my hometown Macau, you need to value to choose your clothing. For example: obese people should wear black color and do not dress slim jeans. slim people should not wear outfit tee-shirt and jeans. That is the norms of people who live in Macau.

Basically, People are living under the eyes of other people will feel that they commit the “crime” against fashion. In my opinion, people are just choosing their favorite clothing and feel convenient. In Europe, people wear alternative clothing on the street. Like a man wear skirt with leggings. In Asian people's eyes, he must commit the "crime" against fashion. But in Europe, not really. They think it is a kind of fashion style. their a part of culture as like american like to wear casual clothing.

What is normal in fashion? It all depends on the local culture. As long as the culture of compliance, it would not commit the "crime" against fashion.

  1. This response is good, but every culture has a set of unspoken fashion rules. Remember, the zoot suit riots happened in Los Angeles, so that proves that even Americans adhere to particular cultural standards and discriminate against anyone who violates them.
