Conclusion
So, having analyzed the answers of all participants of questionnaire, I have come to a conclusion:
1) To be fashionable means - to be stylish, and follow the new fashionable
tendencies. But it is not necessary to follow the fashion blindly.
2) Every person has got his (her) own colour preferences in fashion.
3) The Victorian age has influenced the development of the English national suit most.
4) The person of today will feel himself (herself) more comfortable in the dress of
the Age of the Enlightenment or Renaissance.
5) The twenty century has influenced the new tendencies in fashion most.
6) For the present day fashion you could borrow cylinder, corset, crinoline dresses.
7) The dresses of the eleventh and ninth centuries suit the carnival best of all.
8) The clothes of twenty century suit every day life most of all.
9) the History influences a fashion: time is flyers and everything is being changed – both
opinions and values of people and fashion as well.
