    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 know a person who is my senior at college, who dresses really unusually. Although unusual may be a very relative term, I say his dressing is unusual because his shirt is usually baggy, whereas his trousers are really skinny and he wears two different shoes with really flashy colors. If this is not unusual, I think any person dressing decently, which means a regular fit shirt, a good pair of trousers and a good pair of shoes, would really question such an attire. Although dressing is a personal choice, it is totally important to keep in mind

    So a person who wears unusual clothes, the first person who comes to my mind is Karan Johar. Please don't ask me why. Karan Johar is always someone unusual from all of the Bollywood. He is a very prominent director. He has done so many films and his fashion sense is always far behind the present world. The way he dresses, the way he keeps his standards, the way he begins his day with his fashion sense and ends it with a very different and unusual fashion. Ethnicity with a lot of ethnicity, with a lot of fashion, with a lot of creativity is what inspires me. He inspires me that no matter how unusual you are, it's always something different and different from the world, different from the society. He inspires me in a lot of ways and just not in the sense of fashion but in the sense of creativity, in the sense of stubbornness. I think that he is what a fashion god should be as.

    So, I have a friend, a friend of mine, whom I have known since the past two years. She studies with me in my class in college, and as far as I have noticed, I feel her clothing can be a little weird sometimes. She is this sort of person, who does not seem to care much about fashion or the way she dresses. It could probably be because she has to travel for a really long time to reach college, so maybe she chooses comfort over style. And there are times when I have seen her wear her brother's or her father's clothes and show up to college in them. According to me, her clothing style can be weird sometimes, but there are times when I have seen her come in really good outfits and complimented her on her dressing style.

    I feel that a famous Bollywood actor named Ranveer Singh wears unique type of clothes and we can all see him in reality shows and the movies and even the awards. We see him in a very uniquely styled clothing and it feels quite different from all the others. There is no matching of colors, he can wear a red t-shirt with a blue jeans or blue lower. He also wears high boots with colored sunglasses and I rarely see him in a decent or a normal clothing which we expect from a person. So his clothing style is quite unique and he wears quite unusual clothes. He is a very famous Bollywood personality in India.

    In my life, I have seen multiple persons who wear some unusual dress, a kind of weird dress. Here, I would like to talk about one girl who always wears some unusual dress in our region. I vividly remember that since I am a married person, when I visited my mom's house two months ago, I met one girl who was recently migrated to our region.

    Actor Ranbir Singh wears really unusual clothes. Whenever he is out and the paparazzi is taking his picture, we usually cannot expect what he will wear. You cannot define his clothes as a t-shirt or a pant or an ethnic wear. It's a mix of everything. The colour never makes sense and its hairstyle is always different. It's ecstatic at some times but not appropriate most of the times. His wife looks fashionably amazing and somewhere the pair doesn't match in clothing. Actor Ranbir Singh is not very fashionable. I feel fashion does not mean that somebody wears unusual clothes. I feel it's the star's idea of being different than the others to outshine, in this case downshine. I don't know whether that's a word but yes, I find his dressing quite unusual. Apart from that, I've seen him wear and copy Met Gala looks which does not suit him in the Indian setting. I don't know how he walks or sits in those clothes. They look very uncomfortable sometimes and sometimes they are very airy. But yes, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranbir Singh.

    I am not someone who is concerned with how other people dress. However, I occasionally notice others' appeal to their dressing sense. One such person who caught my attention was a co-worker. She is a co-worker I met at my workplace even though she is from a different department and works on a separate level. I have noticed her several times instead of dressing up professionally, she wears fancy dresses every day. She seeks out from the crowd, aside from her old clothes, she wears so much makeup that people can distinguish her from a distance. She is an attention seeker who always wears outfits that draw attention to herself. She curbs attention and would go to any length to get people to compliment her fashion sense. She overdoes her makeup and clothes most days in order to catch people's attention. Her clothing is strange because she wears them to work. People who work in an office must focus on their work rather than on the fashion of others. When we go to the office, we must dress professionally otherwise this can be a distraction to others. These dresses are appropriate for other occasions such as parties or festivals but not for work. People can dress according to their choice yet different clothes serve different functions As a result, as human we must know that type of clothes to wear on what occasion and place. But she remains popular among the public and seeks their attention due to her unusual clothes.

    Someone who wears unusual clothes in my opinion is Urfi. She is an actress and I don't really know her personally, but I have seen her on Instagram, like Instagram for you page, YouTube and a lot of like paparazzi videos of her. She is someone who gives chances to designers even though they are not mainstream and she wears a lot of like mechanical clothing I would say. So basically designers these days like to involve themselves with the engineering aspect of a dress and also the designing aspect. So when they combine both of those things to make something, it often turns out quite odd in my opinion. So I think all her dresses are considered to be weird not just by me but by a lot of people that I know of as well. And for example, one of the dresses that I saw her recently wearing is big gown with like big skirt and there was whenever when she presses, when a button was triggered, there were bills flowing out of her skirt, like the skeleton of her skirt at least, skeleton of her skirt and the bills were even reaching till the ground. So it made her into a, it made the dress a whole, the bills part because until then there was just skeleton and then suddenly there's a lot of paper that is covering her skirt and it made a good skirt. I mean the idea and the concept I can see but I wouldn't necessarily consider it like very fashionable. It's a very good way to represent designers and the minds of them but could have done in a better way. It could have been done in a better way so that it didn't come off as weird as well.

    Nowadays, I had seen a lot of people wearing unusual clothes and unusual clothes like fashion models and fashion enthusiasts. But if I had to describe about a person who wears unusual clothes and with the person who I am in touch with, I would definitely tell about a friend of mine whose name is Ashik. I met him in my college and he was one of my best friends. He usually wears trending dresses which would not be wear by any others. And I sometimes felt it very weird because the dresses which were worn by him is not seen anywhere and I kind of feel like it's so weird. I had said to him as well that the clothes feel so weird but he says that it's so trending and it feels unusual because it's only becoming to the trend. In addition to that, there was a time when I had seen wearing a baggy pant before the trend has developed when he travelled to north of India and he brought a baggy pant and some thrift dresses and one time he wore it to the college as well and everyone was looking to him like he was some angel coming from the heaven and some of them have already mocked at him but he never cares about that. He just wears the trending dress he loves and it makes him very unique as well. We will be able to spot him in a large crowd because of his unusual dressing also.

    We have many personalities who wear unusual clothes around us, but one of the key ones that catches my mind is Ranbir Singh. He is a famous Bollywood actor in India and he is married to the famous Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone. He has been notorious for catching or grabbing media attention by wearing some of the unusual combinations in his attire. Sometimes you will spot him in deep skin design coats and pants. Sometimes you will find him in flashy neon coloured clothes. While they are very odd to imagine when you think about those things, he somehow is able to pull them off with his own body language. He is very confident while wearing them. He will somewhere also turn out in big functions in award nights with funky accessories like big sunglasses or funky shoes and he will grab the media attention. And somewhere he amazes me by bringing it all together. Furthermore, sometimes he will have long hair, he will wear a ponytail. The way he accessorises his clothes is also a reason he is able to carry them. And media is crazy over his trait of unusual clothes and he has a huge fan following because of it. Many of the fashion magazines also cover him because of this and many fashion labels have signed him up for advertisement and other promotions because of this fan following that he has. This is one of his traits and no other actor in Bollywood, you know.
