The Importance of Fashion | by Toluwalase Ayomide Bismark
- Fashion is important because you don’t just want to walk out of your house looking unreasonable.
- Fashion expresses oneself physically
- Fashion leaves first impression. The way you dress to an interview determines if you’d even be interviewed or not, let alone get the job. How you talk too is a form of fashion.
- It helps to identify you, who you are, or help locate you in the crowd by how you are dressed
- It can be used as a form of escapism (Movies taught me this) like after committing a crime and changing your outfit for disguise not to be identified
- It builds conference, self-esteem and power.
- It helps to create your own look
- It reflects your values and taste, so that not just anybody can walk up to you if you look good
- It is a form of communication that brings respect
- It is a window into how we live as a culture
Fashion is not what you see worn by supermodels and designed by famous designers. Fashion is you, your lifestyle, your belief, your religion, your desire, and your creativity. Sometimes you need not to pay an arm or a leg to buy brand wears in order to be fashionable.
