Fashion Trends--Why Do We Care About Them?

So many times we see celebrities wearing certain articles of clothing and accessory items that we decide we just have to have them. But the bigger question is why do we care? Is it that the celebrity in all of us just needs some validation to our current wardrobe or style? Or does it make sense for us to follow new trends to keep our look fresh and updated?

Validating Our Wardrobe

As women, we are constantly being judged on our appearance, clothes, hair, and make-up. It's been said that women can judge a person in three seconds. That's a pretty quick assessment of someone, especially other women. When we see celebrities wearing something that is pleasing to our eyes, we want to duplicate that look because we immediately decided that we like it. If we do not like the trend, or fashion accessory, we will not duplicate the look because it is of no interest to us.

Fresh Looks

A lot of times we look to magazines and the celebrity world to see what the latest styles and trends are going to be so that our wardrobe won't get stale. It's interesting to see how many times styles and trends will come from New York or California, and then sweep across the country over several months. By the time most of us catch up to the trend, a new trend has emerged and the process starts all over again. This is not necessarily bad, because it keeps all of us on our toes to keep an updated look.

Those Who Don't Care

Some women have their own style and fashion cents who really don't care what celebrities or anyone else is wearing. These women tend to stand out and dress differently that the majority and they are happy with their decision to dress and accessorize according to their own tastes.

The great thing about fashion trends is that we can adopt the ones we like and enjoy, while discarding the ones we don't like and don't choose to follow.

The fun thing about trends is that we can see something in a magazine and laugh about it, and then we can be wearing it the next week. If we keep a sense of humor about fashion and trends, we can enjoy all aspects of it, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
