What is fashion to you? Is it all about clothes? Is it about the trends? There is no right answer to this question; everyone can have a different view on the subject. But, for me, fashion is YOU.
When looking at various fashion brands, most of them have their own distinct style. The main reason is that they know who they are. They have their clearly defined brand image. What this says, is that: they understand themselves. Therefore, they are able to express themselves in the styles that suit them most. It is the same with designers. They tell us who they are and what their values are through the clothes they design.
Now, let’s go back to us: the consumers. Fashion serves the same function - for self-expression. Human beings are complicated. Each of us have different sides, personalities, and characteristics. Fashion is a medium for you to express yourself in the forms of clothing and accessories. It may take time to understand yourself fully, but you will find the style(s) that best represent(s) you when you do.
As for trends, they help us along the path of self-discovery. One can find themselves through trying different fashion trends. This process can be lengthy, but it is certainly worth it.
Let’s not follow trends for popularity...
Follow trends because they show who you are;
Follow trends because they suit you;
Stay true to yourself;
And be yourself.
Maybe this is not your typical fashion article, as it does not focus on any particular fashion trend. However, I hope you can get something positive out of it; perhaps some self-/body confidence. Stay tuned for the coming articles.
