Personal appearance

  Is it really necessary for us to pay so much attention on our personal appearance in modern society?

  Admittedly, having a good appearance can be valuable to an individual in many situations, especially when a person is looking for a job. My sister is a person who really cares a lot about her appearance and always follows the trends in fashion. To be specific, she wears make up all the time and always wears the trendiest clothes. When she graduated last year, she tried to find a job as an assistant in a famous company. There were numbers of competitors; different competitors wore different clothes, and each had a totally different appearance. According to my sister, most of them wore classic uniforms in dark colors and wore no make up on their faces because they thought it would make them seem more professional. But in fact, they all looked the same, so they did not impress the interviewers of the company. In contrast, my sister wore a bright colored uniform which made her looked much more sincere and passionate. She also wore proper makeup. Her good appearance not only impressed the interviewers, but also made her more confident during the interview. As a result, my sister got the job at the company.

  Paying too much attention on personal appearance is a waste of time and money. This attention will only make people waste energy, which could have been used to do other more important things. My brother cares a lot about his appearance, especially on his hairstyle. He goes to the barbershop at least four times per week, not only to cut his hair, but also to wash, curl, and dye it. These extra events cost much more money than a common haircut; however, my brother doesn’t care. He spends almost all of his money working on his hair. Eventually, the attention that he pays on his appearance will badly influence his schoolwork. He will fail many tests and probably not finish his homework.

 It is necessary to care about your appearance, but we should not place too much attention on it.
