Clothes are a great way for people to express themselves. They allow people to show their personality.

Clothes also have a practical purpose. In the winter, when it is cold, we wear clothes to keep us warm.

Clothes can be very expensive, especially designer labels, for example, Versace. Clothes can also be cheap, but usually, if clothes are cheaper the quality is not very good.
