 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The importance of style and fashion in today's society is much underrated. The way that you look and dress is the first impression that people have of you. In order to give people a good first impression, you need to be dressed in a way that fits your style and does not look sloppy or messy, but one that does compliment you. **
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Personal style is a great way to express who you are and what you stand for. You can have fun with your own fashion statement but you should try and shy away from being too bold or it will make your outfit look like a costume. **
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">You need to have a good appearance to show people that you invest in yourself. Your clothes should not be too tight because this gives a bad impression and it is very uncomfortable for you. Your clothes should not be too loose or baggy because that makes you look slovenly. **
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Your hair and makeup are also essential parts of your appearance. Your hair should be nicely combed and your make up should be subtle and not too loud. You need to put time and effort into how you dress and style yourself. **
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Fashion and style let people know if you are serious or not. The way that you dress on a job interview tells employers if you might make a good employee. If you are wearing a short skirt and a t-shirt then most employers would not think to hire you because they think that you are not serious about wanting the job that they are hiring for. **
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The importance of style and fashion in today's society is very important so always make sure you look your best whenever you go because you never know who is watching. You could end up reaping many rewards if you invest in yourself because you will look great and feel better about yourself. Put your best clothes on and put your best foot forward. **
