Singuar vs. plural
teachers,
I have two questions on this sentence.
Wearers can choose different top and bottom colors for their own look.
1. Does the word 'look' mean 'appearnce'? If it does, shouldn't it be the plural form 'look'?
2. I can't understand the use of 'for' in the sentence. Does it mean 'considering' here?
