Where to find the latest fashion trends and why you SHOULD follow them!?
We're all well aware of how much globalism and the evolution of fashion overall have impacted our daily lives. Not limited to clothing, fashion is a form of self-expression through jewelry, accessories, or any other way we carry ourselves! We often see different "trends" come in, stay and leave. But...
What exactly is a trend?
A new way of satisfying a desire, need, or values of a group of people that is big enough to be visible. The needs and desires of the consumers are constant while the way they’re getting satisfying changes. That change is the trend.
Before knowing about the latest trends it's important to know why we follow them in the first place. Is it a conscious decision every time?
Well, here are some interesting insights:
- It’s fun! And literally a form of self-expression, in case of fashion, it is through our garments and designs.
- A trend subconsciously pushes you out of your comfort zone and motivates you to try something you wouldn't normally wear.
- Needless to say, when you get out of your comfort zone, it brings a change in your personality and even your wardrobe. It feels good to try something new.
- It gives you a sense of belonging. Now, I know it isn’t talked about much openly, but as humans, we like to belong to a certain space, a group of people that feels like home. Following a fashion trend is the best way to do that.
- Lastly, Staying updated with the latest trends gives you so many new options to try and follow what feels most comfortable!
But Who sets these trends?
Global events, cinema and even international or national politics inspire or influence a lot of the latest trends because of their strong impact on people's daily lives.
