Keeping up with fashion
Nowadays keeping up with fashion become more than necessity, it become obligatory. What is name being fashion and different than others means to be “cool”. Originally fashion was connected with quality clothes of famous brands, but during the time point of view has changed and now we can add to this couple extra things such as: technology, sport, even particular type of music and many others.
There are many advantages keeping up with fashion. First of all being fashion makes us “cool” what means that everyone wants to be us and behave like we are. Due to that all friends like us and they listen us because everything what we say is the best. And what can be better than having big influence on our environment.
Secondly, owing new technology gadgets such as MP3 player or the newest mobile phone makes that everyone put attention to us. What make that we not feeling strange even more we feel better than others because of having this gadgets which are not accessible to everyone.
Another thing which keep us fashion is music. It makes that we belong to the particular group of people who listen the same music and represent the same style as we. Furthermore it makes that we have good mood and we feel respected by others.
On the other hand there are many disadvantages keeping up with fashion. One point of view against is that, we have to have enough money for expensive clothes and all other new things which also are not cheap.
Another reason is that we may become addicted to this and we may do not notice what happens around us. We become self-centered and other people may start turn out from us, so as a result we stay alone.
Finally keeping up with fashion means that you have to stay all the time on the same wave. It means that you can not be fashion for a couple days, so all the time you have to check new trends and that also is not an easy thing to do.
In conclusion, I think that keeping up with fashion is good for people who have a lot of money and who wants to boast about thing which they have. Of course we can be fashion but we have to know that is not easy thing to do and remember that keeping up with fashion not always means to follow new trends.
Do you think it is important to follow fashion?
Fashion was always one of the most important aspects of people' life. Many a time it was a kind of social delimitation. High society, when wanted to demonstrate its fortune, wears cloths, which were too expensive for others.
At present the situation is not much different. Wearing expansive cloths is nowadays mainly a feature of teenagers. They want to put on the latest heights of fashion, because they want to be admired by peers and opposite sex.
Contrasted fashion, hairstyle and appearance are usually particular for different society groups and cults. More over, it is fashion that creates and develops views of a group like that. It starts being identified with a way of living, convictions, opinions, and not a person as an individual. In the long run, that may destroy our singularity as human beings, and cause deterioration of our personality.
Today, on the fashion market, firms like Adidas or Nike started to dominate. They sell mainly sports wear, which is very expensive. But, from my point of view, these clothes became some kind of a symbol of snobbery. It's true that they are really excellent, well done and extremely comfortable, but they are no longer, what they were designed for. As far as I'm concerned, most of people wearing them nowadays are simply snobs, not sportsmen. Following this kind of fashion is just a way of imposing others and can just lay us open to ridicule.
To cut a long story short, we certainly shouldn't follow fashion by all means. In my opinion, everybody should have his own style, exact and proper for himself. I think that we ought to rely more on ourselves in matters of fashion. Maybe that will let the rests of our individuality survive.
