WHAT IS FASHION?



What is fashion???

Exact definition of fashion as given in Wikipedia is: Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body, or furniture. Fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behaviour and the newest creations of textile designers.
Fashion in Marathi : लोकप्रिय झालेले व अद्यायावत समजले जाणारे पोशाख
They also say Fashion is a Statement, Not a Style. Fashion does not have to be worn casually, nor outside the runway. Fashion is fit for all sizes, for all people of all ages. Fashion is an art of personal Self-expression, Not an excuse to be pretty, poplar and charismatic.



For Indians Fashion is what we see in the papers, magazines, movies or websites. All the fashionable items shown are really beautiful and stunning. But the thing is we can’t wear what we see as most of the clothes or other fancy items are very costly which are not affordable to everyone.

So what exactly is fashion for common woman (Common woman here i mean,  The one who stays in not so modern surrounding, the one who can not afford the "fashionable" items, the one who actually likes to wear the latest fashion but cant wear due to her social boundaries)???

- Is it what others are wearing???

- Is it what we see around the world...??

- Is it what other tell you wear??


there are many answer to that...

Meaning of "Fashion" is different for different people.

- For a college going girl fashion is to wear trendy and latest fashion to look pretty and be competitive with other girls in her surrounding.
These girls will look for cheaper but trendy places for shopping. Also some in college will only prefer branded clothes specially international brands.

- For married girls fashion is to look good for partner and in laws. They specifically prefer clothes which are good in quality.

But some married girls cant wear what they like as they have to wear the clothes preffered or selected by her partner or in-laws.
Some girls will prefer to wear clothes which are comfortable.

Some girls who are little big in size will have to purchase the clothes which are available in her size, compromising other factors such as latest trend or quality or money.

Some with the money will only buy the clothes or accessories in branded store, shopping malls or special boutiques which have trendy and latest fashion in clothing and accessories.

So as per my knowledge shopping of woman is divided as mentioned above.

In my next blog i will be talking about the different places of shopping in Pune.

Thank you
