    When I was a kid, I had a little pencil box which had these four buttons which gave the pencil box an operative use. When you press the button, the box would open up. When you press the second button, a little part of it would slide out. Basically it was just a little electronical and a fun thing to have and I owned it when I was in 6th. One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore.

    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.

    So the person I think has the weirdest dressing choice is the fashionista and Bollywood celeb Ranveer Singh. He is known for wearing attire that is ethnic in a way that you can't even imagine. He wore a saree with a red jacket and some ensembles that I haven't seen anyone wear with a saree. He has been known to wear very different types of clothes and his clothing choices are not understood by me at all. He dresses up like this to catch eye I think and that he is able to do as he is very eye catching and you can see him in a show or in a award show from anyone apart. He is a style icon in a very cult way because he wears things that you won't even imagine any celeb wearing. He wears colours like neon, yellow, red and light purples. You won't see anyone style these colours but he does that. The improvisation with his clothes is just very different from anybody else and he is a different kind of persona in the Bollywood industry.

    The person who wears unusual clothes according to me is my friend Chandan because he usually wear a skinny jeans and a skinny t-shirt. It doesn't suit on him because he has a very skinny body so it doesn't suit him, looks like weird. So I would say that it's very obvious, it's very looking weird and it doesn't suit on him. I usually recommend him to wear baggy jeans and a textured t-shirt that he could look good and improve his dressing sense.

    Meet Ellara, a woman who truly embodies the art of dressing unconventionally. Her outfits are a symphony of textures, eras and cultures, often defying any singular fashion category. Today, for instance, she might be sporting a Victorian-era velvet vest coat over a deconstructed band t-shirt paired with a flowing silk skirt in a vibrant geometric print. Her footwear could be anything from combat boots, a mug with a hand-printed flechelle mug to vintage embroidered slippers. Accessories are Ellara's playground. She layers necklines of various lengths, perhaps an ancient Egyptian ank alongside a chunky, futuristic pendant. Her fingers are usually adorned with an electric collection of rings, some antiques, some event cards. You will often find a brightly colored, perhaps even mismatched pair of socks peeking out from under her trouser or skirt. Her hair is another canvas. It might be styled into and elaborated up to with interwoven ribbon one day and droid of colorful braids the next. She is not afraid of experimental bold makeup, a splash of neon eyeliner or perhaps antique face paints. The paint that complements her assembles every piece she wears, seems to tell a story, meticulously chosen not for trend but for its unique charm and how it contributes to the large and narrated story.

    A person who wears unusual clothes is my best friend Neha. I met her from college and it was in 2020. She was my roommate also. So I only see her attire each and every day. So the very first time I saw her was on a college festival day. She was wearing a trouser styled with a Benarazi kurta. So it was a very weird combination. So at that moment itself I stared at her for too long and I felt like, Oh God, why is this girl wearing this dress without a combination? It looks so bad and awful. I felt awkward at that time. And even though we were not friends, I just went and talked to her and because I just wanted to get in touch with her and mingle with her. We both talked for a long time and we felt that connection. Then I came to know that she was my roommate. So we went there and talked for a lot of time. Then I asked her, why are you wearing these kind of clothes? At that time she said she always wanted to be different. She'll style basics with aesthetics, aesthetics with the traditional ones, traditional with the pop culture. So she always wanted to try the varieties, the patterns, the changing modular fashions. She always wanted to go behind the stuff that attracts people. She always needed that attention. So she went behind unusual clothes and she even stitched

    okay the girl back in my ninth grade there was this girl named Amaya and she was always made fun of for wearing unusual combination of clothes but on contrary if you ask me I always found it amusing and even inspiring because despite of all the hateful comments thrown her way I think she's been very strong in handling all the obstacles and even though it was tiring to hear all the comments by me I guess she has handled it pretty well and has still never changed her style for anyone in the class it was always her her choices because she doesn't think that others have a say in her life according to her fashion was always something that we feel comfortable we should wear clothes we feel comfortable in and that was her motto I believe she wore weird combinations like red with red white with white it was almost the similar colors like for example even blue with light blue or yellow with light yellow even though many people suggested her to wear a good different combination she always insisted on wearing the same old combination she wore to school every day I mostly never found it weird because she is doing what she loves and many people in today's world are incapable of it

    Okay, one such person I can think of is the and comes to my mind as celebrity of a Bollywood that is Ranveer Singh as his clothes are always very vibrant and I know him I mean he is a celebrity which I do follow on Instagram and I do keep up with his clothing trends as it gives a whole different vibe mostly his clothes are always in a vibrant color such as red, orange, green and he as far as I've seen he always goes or I believe he prefers the bell-bottom pants which are kind of out of style in this time and I don't find his clothing to be weird if I can say but it is somewhat outstanding and it keeps him separate from the crowd which usually follows the same clothing trend and he has a passion towards his own clothing, his own I can say comfortableness in the choice of clothes he is he made for himself. So yeah his vibrant colors you color usages in the clothings is one particular eye-catching trait that I can tell that he has a different clothing style and he has a different clothing preferences attire preferences so it really is an eye-catching view.

    The person who I think wears unusual clothes is a friend of mine. Her name is Aditi. I met her when I was doing my graduation. Earlier she used to dress up pretty casually, most likely like a girl next door. But in the third year she joined a fashion institute and she learned a lot from there. So after that she involved in a lot of activities that incorporated a lot of dressing up. She came to the understanding of knowing different trends that were going. Moreover, I like the attitude of her that she feels that she needs to dress up differently. She doesn't like to be or having fashion choices which are similar to what everybody else is doing. Whenever we are shopping she tries to pick up clothes that most of the other humans would just not look at. But it's different and kind of weird at the same time because I would never even think about wearing all the clothes she ends up wearing. She just would end up wearing a super huge extra large baggy top with skinny jeans which might look like a 2000s fashion. But she just pulls it off kind of like me, accessorizing it with bells and chains. I don't know what all the accessories she just pulls off. It's her style and it's quite unique. You won't find a girl like her walking down the streets too often.

    I have a friend named Tina who is a friend of mine from college. I find her clothes extremely funky and weird because she wears this very baggy type jeans and tight-fitted top which makes her look really bad. Like that's not personally my choice. My choice is something more elegant, something more decent. So I feel that what her looks are is unusual or weird for me. Yeah

    I have a lot of friends wearing unusual cloths but today I would like to say about the most close friend unable to wearing unusual cloths. Her name is Jeansy. She is a fashion designer working as a manager at one of the famous textiles in Kochi. Always she is wearing different kind of material and different kind of fashions. Not like jeans or tops as everybody wearing. It looks like very pretty and not that much costly.

    after completing my schooling I decided to join a college so over there I made some new friends and one of my friends was Northeastern and her dressing was quite unusual because she was wearing something different which normal people wouldn't wear like like a saree it was close to saree I still don't know what it actually is called but it is very similar to saree it's like a piece of cloth which is rubbed around the entire body and at the first time I saw it was quite fascinating because it was it had different different colors that are blue red white and it's like it's a it's a national dress of the people who are from Manipur so I liked the way she looked and if you talk about the weirdness she her dress was quite appropriate it wasn't weird but it's just that whenever someone wears something unusual then a lot of people stare at them so a lot of people were staring at her at that time
