I don’t think people truly realize the importance of fashion throughout our tiny blue world, so I’ve compiled an easily understandable list to educate those who view it as a frivolity that should be done away with.
First and foremost, fashion is an expression of individuality: It distinguishes you from those around you and can also define your culture. Whether you’re the gothic girl in jet-black parachute pants, a cheerleader in a ruffled miniskirt, or an Indian immigrant wearing a handcrafted silk Sari, you participate in fashion.
Secondly, fashion is an extremely potent presence in the global Economy: The clothing industry provides jobs to millions of people around the globe. Retailers, designers, factory workers, and distributors are all under the payroll of the fashion industry. Fashion’s Night Out, an international shopping day dedicated to supporting large retailers, small retailers, and pushing a human rights agenda creates large sums of economic activity as well as charitable donations.
Finally, the fashion industry is a powerful political entity: Fashion is a major player in American politics. Vogue editor Anna Wintour was an essential piece to both of President Obama’s campaigns, raising millions of dollars. Runway to Win, another of Wintour’s creations, has helped to fund campaigns for countless members of the Democratic party. Fashion also enlists many lobbyists, pushing for political reform.
Now that you have a better understanding of how fashion affects your life, I hope your can better appreciate what you throw on your back.
Clothes influence how we look at someone.They help create an idea of what we think about their personality. Wearing what makes you comfortable is a statement, and people will respect your individuality. This is an essential detail of why fashion is important.
Upon wearing such nice clothing, you will feel more confident to do things and present yourselves to others freely. Putting on the right set of tops, bottoms, and shoes can make a person feel more powerful and attractive. This will set the mind into something optimistic.
In many ways what you wear is unimportant, except for the fact that it can affect how you feel — which is important. There are articles galore on how to 'dress to impress' — but there a number of reasons clothes are important for you and you only. Fashion is psychology, it is about behaviour, mood and self-identity.
The new fashion trend makes even an ordinary person into a special person. It gives an identity to the wearer, or else people get unnoticed. Last but not the least, it is an opportunity to amalgamate different cultures and traditions.
“When we wear clothes, the associations we place on them have the power to alter the way we feel and even impact the way we act,” Forbes-Bell says. “So, for example, if you associate a particular dress or color with joy, then you will embody that feeling of joy when you put it on.”
For this reason, people sometimes buy brands because they believe the brands will contribute to greater social acceptance. This is especially true in fashion. Consumers often buy clothing brands that are either perceived as fashionable, trendy or high class, or that fit into a particular subculture or peer group.
Listed below are the three reasons why we wear clothes: Clothing provides physical safeguards to the body. Clothes Can Be Worn for status, modesty, adornment and identification. Clothes protect us from occupational hazards, weather, heat, dust, rain and cold.
