The passage delves into the modern trend of acquiring new and often extravagant clothing items for various occasions, such as festivals, ceremonies, or events like weddings. This trend is described as a "fashion craze" because it involves a strong desire or obsession to obtain new clothes, even if they are rarely or never worn after the specific event for which they were acquired. The passage highlights how this fashion craze affects different groups of people. For example: - Fashionable ladies and gentlemen acquire strange and quaint clothes that are seldom used after the initial event that prompted their purchase. - Parents, despite facing financial challenges such as school fees for their children, still indulge their children's need for special clothes for important events. - Newly employed youths often find themselves needing new attire for occasions like weddings or special ceremonies. - University students also participate in this trend, making new clothes for events like matriculation or club induction ceremonies. The passage also touches on the consequences of this fashion craze, such as overcrowded living spaces filled with clothes that are rarely worn. It mentions the problem of choice, where individuals have so many clothes that deciding what to wear becomes a significant challenge. Overall, the title "Fashion craze" aptly summarizes the theme of the passage.
