Fashion is what You Can Carry with Elan

Fashion is not forever! If we talk about fashion, it generally means style, which in every sense is in trend.

The style and trends in terms of clothes and accessories and every other aspect keep changing from time to time. It is generally related to the trends in clothing that is followed in one season and then changes in the next.

For centuries now, fashion has been used as an indirect form of communication to highlight one’s class, wealth, rank, gender, occupation, group and sexual availability and locality. It is a form of free speech that is used in the form of clothes and accessories and other body adornments.

Fashion is not just about clothing. But it also includes other things like accessories, body art, beauty, hairstyles and jewellery. It is a subtle way to express one’s individuality and state of being to others by choosing to wear something, and also deciding when and how to wear it.

Fashion, if you think about it, is nothing but language of signs, iconography and symbols. It is a form of non verbal communication about the personality and status of the groups and individuals. It is a way to express one’s individuality and identity through different forms of iconography like body piercing and tattooing and also changing hairstyles.

Fashion also decides how you maintain and keep your body form. The female form that was painted by Rubens in the earlier centuries is no more in fashion. The female body form that is in fashion today demands something absolutely different. There are many people who live for fashion. Thus, they spend their life trying dieting, cosmetic surgery, exercise, and trying various other regimes. They are also always in search of the things which are in fashion, and spend most of their time looking for the ultimate fashion garb.

Fashion is one of the best and most popular ways of flaunting one’s status symbol. It is done in the form of clothing, where on the one hand, you find the obnoxiously priced Armani and Versace, and at the same time, a street wear which a certain strata of the society considered to be as much in fashion. Those who can afford it, try and be fashionable by flaunting different body accessories like their jewellery, watches and the glares to name a few.

Fashion is also flaunted in the range of vehicles that people own. So, the scope is enormous when it comes to showcasing fashion and your fashion sense.

But, there is another side to fashion. It is what you as an individual can carry and flaunt with confidence and élan. The clothes you wear need not be something that is worth thousand of dollars or belong to a brand or fashion house. It can be something as simple as what you make yourself at home or something that you pick up from a street shop.

As long as you are confident and can carry it off with style and elegance, it will remain in Fashion!
