The Trend<br />

You Are<br />

Don’t you <strong>get</strong> tired? I mean all the without anyone making a fuss about it.<br />

time you open fashion pages and you read<br />

about what to wear and what not to wear? So, I guess popularity does influence the image of<br />

In a way, you let a stranger create your image. a certain brand into it being that seasonal trend.<br />

Question is, why do you follow trends? To be<br />

popular? To fit in? To make yourself feel better<br />

knowing that you own the latest item?<br />

Sure, it is ok to want to know the latest fashion<br />

and trends that are making the rounds, but, do you<br />

really have to follow every fashion trend that is out<br />

<strong>there</strong>?<br />

Last winter, Aztec prints were making the headlines.<br />

They became popular. Much to every fashion eye<br />

anticipation, the hype around them has died out<br />

and sadly, you no longer seem “cool” when you<br />

wear your Aztec dress, legging or tops that cost you<br />

a fortune. Sad isn’t?<br />

We all know how popular the Converse sneakers<br />

became last year. Every ‘kool keed’ had a pair.<br />

You felt different without Converse. Just before<br />

they became a hit again as they have done over<br />

the years, All Star was just a shoe you could own<br />

We typically don’t really know why we follow<br />

trends but we do it anyway, because that is how the<br />

human brain is programmed. But doesn’t the urge<br />

to be yourself and be unique kill you inside? The<br />

need to know that you can be different not just by<br />

how you look, but what you wear?<br />

The need to be unique doesn’t necessarily have to<br />

make you a fashion flop. You don’t have to start<br />

wearing ‘whatever’ you can put to<strong>get</strong>her in the<br />

name of being “unique”.<br />

That is totally wrong.<br />

Who doesn’t remember the Dashiki? Jogger pants?<br />
