What is Fashion? In this post-modern era, it’s a trend, a popular practice in choosing clothing style, footwear and accessories. Fashion has been on the scene for a long time now. It’s been considered to date back to the 14th century. Though there’s a lot of difference between the then-considered fashion and the fashion that we see today.
Fashion has also differed according to the area. There are different fashion trends followed in the East than the West and there are different fashion statements in the West that may not be followed in the East. And there is a difference even in the fashion of people living on the same land. In the East, you may find different styles of clothes worn in China than in India. There’s also a difference in the fashion trends of Mexicans and Americans.
Nowadays, even occasions have a different style of clothing to be worn on. Fashion has grown along with the growth of humans. Fashion changes as the generations change. They need more variety of clothes and accessories to choose from. In this manner, women’s fashion is not behind. It offers a woman a great variety of dresses to wear.
Fashion has evolved, especially women fashion. There’s been a great change in women’s clothing. Today, we have a great variety of clothing styles in women fashion. From long-worn gowns and chopines and corsets to short skirts, high heels and tops, we have come a long way in women fashion industry.
A female wardrobe contains dresses ranging from party dresses to formal suits to casual wear. What surprises me is that fashion now offers different dresses for different times of the day. That means you have multiple dresses to wear. Day dresses, night dresses, and whatnot. Now that’s unbelievable.
And there’s a lot of variety in these categories too. For example, there are even different choices in party dresses such as short skirts, full skirts, etc. and even in formal attires too, you can choose between trousers and a shirt, and a strapless formal dress, high necks and many more. In day dresses, you can wear open-back tops, skirts (mid-length as well as mini), heels, etc.
I come back to my question: What is Fashion? Or I’d like to change it to: Why is fashion? That’s because today, clothes have more meaning than just covering the body. It’s now more of a statement; A statement through which you show the world what you are from inside. So women, go out and show the world what you’ve got through your favorite pair of jeans, a cool top, sneakers or whatever your fashion statement might be.
