who decides what is 'in fashion'?
who decides what we wear?
what does it matter if we go out in tracksuit pants and baggy, stained shirts?
why do we wear high heels even though they hurt our feet?
why do some – even most – people persist on following trends?
i think this has something to with seeking acceptance – we want to fit in, to look 'normal.' we follow everyone else, not thinking for ourselves. conforming. does anyone ever think; why? why i am i wearing this? because its easy. it's easy to go out any buy what everyone else does, wear what they wear, rather than thinking for yourself. it takes confidence and self-assurance to be different. it takes a certain sort of person to turn heads. She (or he) takes it in her stride. there is some amount of fearlessness to be able to do that without withering. to stand out – head held high. one in many. you have to believe in yourself. Which isn't to say the majority of the population don't believe – perhaps in themselves. however it appears, it would be unfair to say they are the social equivalent of clones.
i think that people should dress for themselves, rather to impress others. people should dress in clothing that flatters their body shape, rather than whatever everyone else is wearing.
come on people, show some originality.
