A) cost B) appearance
C) comfort D) suitability

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability . They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right.
