Fashion is always changing, but whether what they’re wearing is trending or not, people love to show off their fashion sense to the public. While some may judge what others wear, clothing can be seen as a form of art.
There is no right or wrong way of expressing one’s thoughts or feelings, so people should be able to wear whatever makes them feel like themselves without getting any judgment from others.
Everyone has different reasons behind why they wear what they wear. For example, many love to wear styles such as baggy jeans and oversized shirts because they are a comfortable and effortless way of dressing.
Others like to dress up in styles such as street wear, coquette, y2k or denim on denim to show off what they have stored in their closet or their passion for these styles.
Regardless of the reasons behind clothing choices, choosing what type of clothing to wear can help someone express themselves. Everyone has their own style and way of thinking.
One reason people may oppose certain styles of dress, such as long jorts and skinny jeans, is because they aren’t as popular and may not seem as flattering on some people. But the hate for these trends shouldn’t be this way just because some people don’t pull it off as well as others.
Besides personal expression, people may also dress the way they do because of culture. Some people wear clothes that have been passed down from generation to generation in order to remember special people or special moments that have occurred or to help show others who they are.
Culture and fashion go hand-in-hand with each other, often reflecting a deeper meaning to the type of clothing and pattern being worn, highlighting people’s unique differences.
For example, in Chicano/Chicana culture, it is typical to wear a unique mix of street wear, bright symbols and elements of traditional Mexican culture. Wearing clothing like this inspires others to learn more about that particular fashion, and experimenting with different styles of clothing helps to open up a different cultural view.
According to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the late Antique period, decorative patterns on clothing often had apotropaic functions, bringing good luck to their wearers. Tunics were typically made of undyed linen with embellishments worked in colored wool threads. The medallions and ornamented bands, called clavi, were decorated with images from nature, Greek and Roman mythology or Christian themes. Worn in life and death, they were often wrapped around the deceased.
Not only does fashion play a role in culture, but it also plays a role in the religious aspect. Muslim women wear hijab to symbolize modesty and as a way to assert their religious identity, while other Muslim women wear hijab to navigate social and cultural factors.
Overall, fashion should be worn with confidence to express self-esteem. Don’t let negativity get in the way of showing it off to the public eye.
