    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    We had a farewell party. Okay. So, in my daily life, I come across several people whom I consider have very unusual clothing. But here particularly, I would like to talk about a girl. She is my classmate. Her name is Kashwi. The point of view here is not judging someone on their styling, on their clothing. But actually, I just want to convey that how her clothing is quite unusual. Basically, she is not aware, I think, that what type of clothing suits her particular occasion. Like, we had several programs, several, what we call that, particular events in our school, which I consider I got to know about her styling, which I do not really much admire about. Her clothing was quite weird. She was not aware about the styling. She is not, she do not actually know the trend. She had quite collection of clothes but is not aware about the particular trend or the style which is currently going on in, on the, on fashion. And I really think that she needs to improve a lot in her styling and that would make her really look much better than she actually is. And besides from that, I personally will not like to point out someone according to their, it depends on person to person actually, that it depends on their style. But, yeah, that was my point of view about her styling. So, yeah, I could not say something about changing.

    It's my best friend. He always wears unusual clothes. He kind of looks very funny and his outfits are mostly weird. His outfits lack harmony. They kind of are always mismatched in my opinion. He looks dull in his outfits because the jeans he wears are not at all at the same wavelength as his t-shirt or shirt let's say or his sweatshirt. They all look all over the place and it's generally not a very good outfit. But recently I've been giving him tips about how to improve his fashion. He does listen at times but at times he fails to listen to me and keeps on wearing those weird fits. Although I've told him countless times that he doesn't look good in those fits, I still don't know if he'll ever listen to me or listen to my advice. He never takes my advice seriously. Those outfits make him look, I would say, outcast. He's an outcast and at the same time he looks very out of place wherever he goes. I hope that he changes his outfits and his dressing sense.

    One of my friend, she got me introduced by other friend called Shreya, and this friend name is Nandu, who wears unusual clothes all the time, she won't match or pair up with correct things. I know, according to me, she has good collection of clothes, but she don't know how to pair up them, and even if we suggest also, she disagrees with our thing, and she tells, I know the correct pattern of styling, but not that, but she don't know. She always style up with frequently dressed styles, she repeats the dress code most of the time, and she dress very simple and with minimal things, but she looks very pretty even though, but still we expect a lot from her.

    In the recent past, I know of a person who wears some unusual clothes. She is Urfi Zavid, who participated in a reality show called Big Boss. Two years back, she was on the news headlines for her unusual dressing. Her name is Urfi Zavid. I got to know her through Instagram, especially after she started wearing some unusual dresses. The themes of dresses were, they are so different, unique and peculiar, such that she used to, almost all of, the real content about her used to be only about her dressing and nothing else in her life was considered as to be something which is very catchy. Her dresses were unusual because she used to wear, she used to make dresses out of some unusual elements like cycle chains, plastic, sometimes even glooms, clips and whatever she finds. So whatever the material that we use in our daily life, she used to make, design her dresses based on these themes.

    The person I believe who has a typical fashion sense is Ranveer Singh, who is known for his acting in different Bollywood movies, apparently he is a celebrity for over a decade, in the recent years I find his fashion sense very unusual and awkward, he tends to wear a mixed clothing of different genders, for example wearing a nice blazer on top and a lehenga which usually females wear as a bottom wear, which I find is very disturbing, additionally he preferred that kind of fashion which has been a recent trend, many people started following in his footsteps in this weird fashion sense, I believe fashioning is something that needs to be very simple as well as authentic, it should not make others feel awkward or different,

    Today I want to talk about a person who wears unusual clothes. The person who is one of my close friends from my degree college time, his name is Ajay. And we met at the time of admissions of my degree college where I first saw him and just thought that his dressing sense is not that good as he wears torn clothes, torn shirt or torn jeans that not looks good on him but he used to wear when our college started. And from that day he used to wear a different weird clothes like sometimes he used to wear half sleeve t-shirt which is torn by one of the side or torn pocket or jeans which is torn at the thigh or the lower part of the jeans and his sense is not as that good. I told him that you should wear a plain shirt or pant which suits you better and as we were in the college you should wear a good clothes that will maintain the discipline to the college and I have suggested that

    There is a friend of mine who wears unusual clothes, his name is Arjun. He usually wears baggy and tight fit t-shirts, that is very much uncommon in this society which we live in. So I would say it's unusual since the style and the trip that he wears is very much connected to other countries such as Japan, Japan and US. So that's why I think he is wearing unusual clothes. Wearing unusual clothes makes you more uncommon and makes you differ from people who mostly wears same kind of outfits. I know him since my childhood, he is my childhood friend since 5th grade. He is wearing this, I asked him one day why are you wearing this kind of outfit and he replied me that he feels very much confident in this outfit and makes him more productive and stylish in the society. It also increases his attention and always some kind of people look at him and admire him. Mostly kids admire him for his style who is also our coming generation. So

    So the person I am going to talk about is a woman whom I have witnessed wearing some unusual dresses in public. So I know this person through an online platform called Instagram. I think mostly people are aware of this online platform. So she is an actress who has acted in several web series in Hindi. So I find her dress to be so weird because it is not publicly accepted by many people. So the sole reason is that her dress appears to be too much of exposing and it has never been ethical to wear in a crowd of 100, I think. So she has worn a dress with a fan, I think. I am not sure what it is about. But I suppose it to be a fan in the back side of the dress. So this dress has looked so weird on her. It was not something a person could wear outside to a public gathering or something like that. So I feel these kinds of dress should be avoided in a public place so that it will be too much easy for people to find that to be a disgusting thing to do in public.

    So, once I met a guy in the railway station while I was travelling and I saw him wearing loose pants and oversized shirts. After researching a bit, I got to know that this is the latest fashion of the Generation Z as we call them, the latest generation or the latest generation of the people. After looking at him, I was so astonished that his fashion sense was so intriguing and visually so funny as I think these kinds of clothes are not very practical in use. We have traditional clothes, we have western clothes which are well suited for our environment but those clothes were not very well suited for the climate that we are living in and I think that these kinds of clothes should be refrained from wearing as we have many other great options available.

    Band 6

    So I think fashion is a way to express oneself and I have a friend Rohit who dresses quite unusually and I don't say unusually but has a unique sense of style and he is currently pursuing fashion designing from fashion institute of Delhi and he wears uncommon combinations of clothes like short plus formal shirts or quarter lowers plus blazers and I don't find it easily, I don't find these clothes very commonly wore by normal people and I think that Rohit has a unique sense of style.
