Fashion trends are a great starting point for people who are into clothes and use their personal style as a way to express themselves. Due to the fact that they’re trends, people who try them out can rest assured that their style is widely accepted and a lot of people think they look good. Of course, fashion is about personal expression, but getting positive feedback from others boosts confidence which is the key to doing anything.
The downside of fashion trends is that people can get wrapped up in what the masses think looks good and forget that personal opinion is most important when expressing oneself. When following nothing but popular fashion trends, people ignore their body type, what feels comfortable on their skin, what fabrics suit their style and most importantly, what makes them feel good.
Some silhouettes accentuate curves and some highlight slim figures while others hide the body and create entirely new shapes with how the fabric drapes and how certain textures lay against one another. Due to influencing being so visual, creators that meet the beauty standard set the tone for what’s popular every season and it leaves non-influencers scrambling to keep up regardless of if they like that style or think it fits their aesthetic.
It definitely takes practice and patience to build one’s personal style. There’s so many different styles out there that biting from one is normal, but adding even the smallest accessory or focusing on making an interesting silhouette using a popular trend as the basis is an easy way to begin learning what matters to the individual and making them stand out from everyone else.
