With the advent of technology, pop culture has reached every nook of the earth and more and more
people
are being receptive towards the latest
fashion
statements and societal demands of being at par with
fashion
culture.
For instance
, as soon as a famous teenage artist sports tight leather pants, the
next
day a million of his followers can be seen imitating the style. It is conspicuous that
people
are more indulged with pop culture due to unprecedented connectedness of the world along with the social media accoutrements,
therefore
,
first
, they observe the global
fashion
trends and follow the same
subsequently
. I will try to analyse these clothing selection choices and their positive and negative developments in
this
essay.
Firstly
,
people
spend money in order to either facilitate the ease of their lives or they want upliftment of their social stature. Of late, a tsunami of fashionistas and trends has been observed over the internet and advertisements;
in addition
, famous personalities continuously make
fashion
statements through social media. Tremendous psychological manoeuvring and persuading have been done by these tools,
as a result
,
people
have accepted
fashion
clothing as the new norm of society. On a positive note, it has expanded the
fashion
industry and local markets,
accordingly
, the job demand along with the number of small businesses has
also
seen a steady rise in the
last
decade.
On the other hand
, the world has become one now and news travels like a wildfire; notwithstanding technical interconnectedness,
people
have drifted apart and social media has assumed the new societal role for these
people
.
Consequently
, there's a huge pressure of maintaining the latest trends, be it clothing, culinary showcasing or travelling;
people
want acceptance from their peers for their lifestyle and choices, resultantly, they choose what is popular and in-demand.
Additionally
, everyone seeks to add uniqueness to their nature and appearance,
this
desire
also
leads
people
to choose exorbitant and designer
fashion
clothing. Following
fashion
demands can be advantageous in order to maintain social inclusion and developing a cultural bond with neighbours and acquaintances.
To sum up, in my opinion,
people
want the approval of their immediate connections and
thus
they adopt socially accepted
fashion
clothing in their lifestyle and endeavour to follow the updates in it as well.
However
,
this
could be detrimental for
people
psychologically and economically.
On the contrary
, the positive sides of
this
fashion
following are
also
plenty and could result in increased social value.
Nevertheless
, a balance must be maintained.
