Should we follow fashions?

Fashion is often associated with what pop stars or celebrities wear, but in reality it refers to much more than the exclusive and expensive clothing produced by top designers. Instead, it means clothing that is in fashion at a particular time and involves the process of innovation and change in clothing. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with following it as long as we like what is fashionable.

First, fashion adds flavor to life with its rich color, variety, and beauty. The fashion industry has been experimenting with a wide range of colors, patterns, materials, etc. and as a result, offers consumers a diversified selection of clothing. A bohemian chiffon dress can give office women a playful edge by freeing them from tight dark suits; a cowboy hat brings a little more masculinity to a routine shirt and pants ensemble. Different ways of dressing can help us to have fresh air, be in a good mood and fit in on various occasions. In fact, the world would be a boring place to live if people always wore clothes of the same design. Therefore, the change in fashion satisfies our desire for new and different styles.

Second, clothing fashions distinguish one generation or age group from another, as they cater to varied tastes for beauty. They have taken very different forms at different times, so we would look strange if we were to wear the styles our great-grandparents wore. In fact, most people follow fashion to some extent, even schoolchildren know that fashions exist and change. In a sense, the function of clothing is not just to keep us warm or cool; the way we dress also speaks of our activities and values, it reflects our attempt to differentiate ourselves from older generations

Third, mass production makes fashionable clothes cheap and available to everyone. Some people say that it is wasteful to follow the fashion due to its high cost and variability. However, thanks to the rapid development of the industry, many well-designed ones are now within our reach. If you have an eye for fashion, some of your offerings will stand the test of time and never go out of date.

Fashion has its critics, who have sometimes denounced it as irrational and immoral. A common accusation is that fashion designers speed up fashion change to create new business. Judging from the above analysis, it is not bad for the consumer to move with the times and enjoy new fashions.
