Fashion is a hot topic today in the media and among small groups. It has a powerful influence on appearance and slang, it even defines a country. Each culture determines its fashion statements and trends.

In fact, it controls what people eat, the places they visit, the latest informal expressions, clothing and hairstyles. The term manipulates an individual’s time and investment in worship. That is, many spend time following the news and magazines, to see the latest trend.

Worshiping or magnifying trends means overspending or doing whatever it takes to achieve it. Once that flavor of popularity is lost, tastemakers strive to recreate or invent something new and emulate the following. The term is highly addictive, and while fun, it sometimes causes harm.

Incredibly, when someone says the word, many automatically think of women. This is not far from the facts, but men also associate themselves with the term. Men scramble to find the latest jackets, t-shirts, tech gadgets, and games, while women love the latest hairstyles, dresses, and wedding rings.

The term is often used as a reservoir of positive information, where role models on celebrity blogs and television describe to the public what is hot versus the opposite. For that reason, people stay on top of the trend and realize the do’s and don’ts. The media marketing team also helps convey that relevant information, which can extend beyond one country.

Before one knows it, numerous cultures become fans of the style. The stores take the opportunity to earn money, selling fashion-related products, but only for a while. Once the style fades, there is a chance to reform it at a later time.

So this is a simple cycle and a resurgence of the latest trends. A trend is immediately caught, it appears in the media including marketing, and then people imitate the style.

Musicians are also very influential when it comes to setting trends. The various genres, ranging from rock and roll, rap, hip hop, and reggae, determine a person’s mood and association. For example, people who listen to reggae suggest to others their affiliation with a Caribbean country.

Likewise, many label rock and roll music lovers as wild and dark. Recently released popular music albums motivate people to buy. This helps them keep up with the times and have a sense of belonging. Despite the fact that the style industry has positive characteristics, it magnetizes the drawbacks. These include the following:

Stylish men can be called gay or homosexual. The beliefs of the older generation are contrary to the modern ones, where men were seen as breadwinners, aggressive and unconcerned about appearance. Any man who seemed sensitive and invested time in his appearance was classified as gay. Although it is fading, that concept still lives on today.

Teenagers experience peer pressure. Adolescents feel the need to continue, to be accepted by popular groups. If they can’t do it, their low self-esteem grows. This is especially when influential teens make fun of them for their appearance.

Credit card charges. Face the facts, this is a money making company. Enticing advertisements simply stimulate the imagination and people fall in love with them.
