Fashion gains and pains- pt 2

There are several problems associated with fashion and its world and also ways to curb them. (Read part 1 here)

I was watching television the other day and my friend said the problem of fashion is that it never lasts long. She had joked that she wasn't given enough time to wear her dress before it became obsolete and we all laughed. It seemed funny but it's true. Diligent and hell bent following of latest fashion trends is somewhat stressful and money consuming. Take an example the Hermes Birkin. It's an 'it' item for any girl who considers herself as a religious fashion trend follower. The least an original Birkin costs is $10, 000. Just one Birkin would put more than a lot of holes in the pocket of a student(if they can afford it) or a middle/low income salary earner in Nigeria.

Let's talk fashion! : Fashion gains and pains- pt 1

One firstly has to understand what the terms fashion and fashionable are to at least have a fundamental basis on the topic discussed. The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines fashion as a popular style of clothes,hair,etc. at a particular time or place.

 According to me, my own definition of being fashionable is the constant state of looking good. The definition of fashion infers that the style is only 'in' for a particular period and implies something that is transitory; something that would eventually change and pass away. You probably live in a cave if you do not know fashion is liquid and changes like the weather but it's normal as everything under the sun is subject to change(positive or negative), no matter how long it takes such change to manifest.

Thanks to celebrities like super model Kate Moss and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, the turtleneck, a demure fashion trend is back. I'm not a big fan of following trends, but I'm definitely going to incorporate this into my outfits. I honestly hope we don't see crazy versions of this trend. Imagine a turtleneck with cutouts that expose side-boobs.
