The English have a difficult and，generally speaking，dysfunctional (怪异的)relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules，and are unable to get along without them.This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly，but with specific areas of excellence，such as high­class men's suits, ceremonial costumes, and  innovative (革新的)street fashion.In other words，we English dress best when we are “in uniform”．

You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform.Surely the parrot­haired punks( 朋克摇滚乐迷)or the  Victorian vampire goths are being original，not following rules? It's true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的)  but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way.They are wearing a uniform.The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen，who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes，a kind of 1950s fashion，with no regard for anyone else's opinion.However，it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation's street fashion.We may not be individually eccentric，apart from the Queen，but we have a sort of collective eccentricity，and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.

Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously，to be able to laugh at themselves.However，it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.

The Goths，in their scary black costumes，certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously.But when I got into conversation with them，I discovered that they too had a sense of humor.I was once chatting to a Goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face，deep purple lipstick，and black parrot­hair.I saw he was also wearing a T­shirt with “Goth”．“Why are you wearing that？”I asked.“In case you don't realize I'm a Goth，”he answered，pretending to be serious.We both burst out laughing.
