    Answer

    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.

    I want to talk about a person I often see in my neighborhood. He is a man who usually goes to the local park in the late afternoon. I don't know him personally but I can recognize him easily because of the very unusual and bright clothes he wear. For example, he often wears neon green or electric pink jackets sometimes with matching shoes or hats. He usually pairs this with simple jeans or trousers which makes the bright colors really stand out. I feel intrigued and impressed whenever I see him because it takes a lot of confidence to wear such bold clothes with that color without worrying about what others think. I think his clothing serves to express his personality and confidence. It makes him stand out in a crowd and brings a cheerful lively feel to the area. Seeing him also inspires me because it shows that fashion can be a form of self-expression. In a way, his unusual style brightens up ordinary days for people who notice him.

    I believe that clothes are the thing which can replicate our personality and I have met a person who wears completely unusual clothes which can boil someone's mind as well. Last time when my brother came back to India on my birthday, I was just over the moon because I was meeting him after 6 years. But he also brings his one friend with him and I was little confused at first meet but when I saw his whole personality, I got so curious that how a person can wear such a typical and little amazing clothes and after then we went to our home and we celebrate my birthday. At night, I decided to have a talk with that person and I went to him and I asked him that why you are wearing a little weird clothes because it's not something usual. He said that those are the clothes which I have designed by my own self. I am a student of fashion designing and I am certainly still have completed my third year. So these clothes are one of my imagination. So I got so amazed and I saw another design of him and the whole was breathtaking. I just got amazed that how a person can think such a weird and yet amazing thoughts or designs of a clothes and I requested him that can you please design.

    There was a girl in my college who used to wear really blingy clothes. I won't say unusual or I found them weird. It was just that she had a good sense of fashion maybe. So, she would like to wear those kind of clothes. Unusual fashion or weird fashion is a subjective term. For example, for me, wearing a green pant with an off-white top is a fashion, is a contrast. I would love to wear it. On the other hand, a girl from a village who doesn't have a fashion sense, she would say so blingy color the green is. She would just wear a black pair of jeans and a white top. So, it's really subjective. Likewise, wearing a fashion sensed clothes is a kind of a choice. Now, for instance, in my office, I am the one who is kind of able to wear all different type of clothes like I wear jumpsuits, I wear one piece, I wear all color of clothes. On the other hand, my friends will hesitate wearing those color of clothes. For example, neon colors, those red colors or light pink shades. They would just wear these soft colors like navy blue ones and all the formal wear clothes. I won't say my clothes aren't formal but they are unique because I know the fashion sense, I know the market but on the other hand, they don't. However, the fashion sense is really a terminology one must learn in their career to what kind of clothes he or she must wear in the office.

    So, there is this girl in my class. It's very funny to have her come in late every other day. She wears quite funny clothings, and I don't really mean that in a sense that I find it weird, but in the sense that those are quite flashy when I talk about them. Hot pinks with hot blues, with purple shoes that shine. Maybe this is all about following an aesthetic that you often find on social media, but I think it really reflects on who you are and what you do and what your personality is. So, I think all in all, it's quite weird to see her wear all of that, but it's also kind of fun to, you know, look forward to each and every outfit every Monday morning when you're tired and you're only running on a coffee. It's funny actually. It's that you can never anticipate. You can never know what's coming, because it's all just a surprise. It takes you out of nowhere, and it sometimes also, you know, when you hope so much, it does slap you in the gut. It punches you right there, and it forces you to confront with what today's fashion has come to.

    A fascinating person who I know wears a bit extraordinary clothes is Komal Pandey. She is an influencer on Instagram. A fascinating personality on Instagram named by... A fascinating personality on Internet, especially on Instagram, who is named Komal Pandey. Komal Pandey wears clothes a bit different from others. I wouldn't call it as unusual but definitely she dresses in a very different way. A person that I know dresses in an unusual way is Ranveer Singh. He is an actor, a Bollywood actor. I have seen many pictures and videos of him wearing bright colors, bright pants and experimenting with his clothes. I have seen him in dupattas. I have seen him wearing frocks and dresses which is not very common from what I have seen at least. His dressing style is a bit loud, a bit too loud for me. But it is interesting. I don't want to be judgmental and say it is wrong. If he likes it, he should wear it. But I think he misses the spot sometimes. My personal opinion when it comes to dressing would be dress according to the occasion. I think he misses dressing to the occasion sometimes.

    So, a person who I know that wears very unusual clothes is actually my professor in college. He has been teaching me subjects like biostatistics, embryology and genetics since two years. And as a person, he is very great, he is very heartwarming, and I've had really great conversations with him. But one thing that amuses me the most is his styling sense. He actually wears shirts that are printed with dhotis. So he's actually combining and having a fusion of Indian wear along with western wear. And his shirts also are printed in a manner that is not very usual to see. Some of them have very bright colours, and some are neon. I have personally never seen someone wear dhoti with shirts, and that's why I think that these clothes are something very weird to see on an individual. But what I admire about him is that he wears this trend with so much of confidence.

    As for my personal encounters, a girl from my class during my engineering wore the most funkiest clothes ever. Usually on a daily basis we had quite strict dress code, therefore she didn't have the freedom to wear such funky clothes but often during fests or any events she made sure that she wore the most unique clothes ever. She would often wear bright bold colors with very vibrant prints which made her stand out amongst all of us. Her pairing was quite unique and quite not normal. She used to pair different kinds of prints which used to not match and she used to pair traditional jewelry with western clothing which she thought she aced it. She was quite interested in fashion and from her clothes we could straight up see that. I didn't quite really enjoy the way she dressed but I was happy seeing someone who was comfortable expressing themselves confidently.

    I found I find my colleague Anirudh outfit to be quite unusual and weird. I know him through my workspace and he also stays quite near to the place where I stay. The reason I find his outfit to be quite out of place is because he wears a lot of casual and out of the box fits which doesn't suit the professional setup. Also, another reason is his fits are quite absurd in the sense that they're either shorter in size or they're oversized. So

    You know my friend, her name is Deepa, she's been my close friend for a long time, since childhood. I prefer her style because she always tries to come up with some new fashion trends, which I'm not really sure. I'm not much aware with these fashion trends and all these clothes, accessories. So I don't have much idea, but how she sees the things really amazes me sometimes. Like the way she imagines which top goes well with which trousers, skirts and how this scarf goes with that. Top, corset, corset, so even her jewelry style is literally amazing. To have that kind of imaginations in fashion sense, I think it is really a unique talent. I don't think that is a Viet style, but I'm really pleased that she gets to try all the new things and that really fits her very good. I like to wear really normal clothes, which I'm comfortable with, but she likes to experiment different kind of new things that are unusual. But yeah, when she tries out, she makes it come out really good. I wish I had some kind of fashion sense like her, but yeah, everyone has their unique style and I really admire how she does it.

    I am going to talk about a film star in India, that is Ranbir Singh. He is an actor from Bollywood who appeared in many blockbuster movies and films. I want to talk about his unusual dressing sense which is what I feel very attractive to someone. He dresses like so colourful and so extravagant and he also uses some props or accessories like watches, glasses, necklaces, bracelets etc. to enhance his look. He carries his unauthentic fashion style with dignity and his personality matches with his vibrant dressing style. We have seen Ranbir Singh in many reality shows or talk shows or even on award functions dressing up like a bit unusual and carrying it with very grace. So I think I like how he presents himself in front of the public and how he carries himself with unusual dressing sense that is very attractive to me.
