To what extent do you think the clothes
youths wear affect their future?

All I have to say is I hope they don’t let their children dress the way they do now.

I don’t think it does significantly. I think your color impacts your future way more. So does how you speak. |

It does. It goes with your attitude. The way you dress is the way you represent yourself. |

think it’s normal for teenagers to dress the same as the others in their peer group. But when they reach their 20s and go on a job interview, they have to change to business attire. |

The only way it affects their future is if they’re really into it — if they pay more attention to their clothes than they do to their education. |

I think the way the youth dress now is an indication of the problems we’re having with them in school, with poor performance and drop-outs. It’s terrible for their future employment and betterment in life.
