Why Fashion?
Every day, people wake up and wonder what they are going to wear. The suit and tie? The T-shirt and jeans? Do we ever really think about why we go to all this trouble? Why does fashion exist?
Fashion exists to provide information about ourselves, who we think we are and who we want to be. It describes our age, our sex, and often, our job. A man walks down the street in a business suit – and we gather information about him. A young girl wears a tank top and short pink skirt – and we form an impression of her.
Fashion has developed over the centuries. In cultures where people wear few clothes, body paint is used instead. In some cultures, the powerful decide what everyone wears. They use laws to mark the difference between different groups of society.
Today we tend to dress based on the way clothes appeal to our personal taste. If we like it, we like it. If we don’t, we don’t. We choose our style to express our personality. It’s nice to be cool and to dress with the times. But let’s be serious, what’s cool now is probably going to look silly in a few years.
