Fashion & Shopping – Reflecting Our Lifestyle

Fashion basically means some popular trend or style especially in body, clothing, accessories, footwear, or makeup. Sometimes there are some trends which are used by some of the famous celebrities and become popular and they are then become the fashion of the season. These fashions are then copied or followed by many of the commoners. Fashion can be the way in which a person dresses. Sometimes some clothing styles become quite popular. Sometimes some materials become fashion. Some way of carrying a particular dress material also becomes trend or fashion. Fashion repeats itself. Means suddenly what is in, becomes obsolete after few years, and then come back to fashion again, after some 5-6 or 10 years. Hence there is no such fashion which keeps on going on and on. Fashion and latest trends tend to attract women more than men. There are fashions for men as well, but usually men of any religion, region, age, culture follow or stick to the same fashion every year, while women tend to change their fashion sense every one or two years. Aspects of trends or fashion can be masculine, feminine or sometimes androgynous.

The Backless Evening Gowns and the Ready-to-Wear Fashion of the 1930s:

The 1930s was the peak time for the fashion industry as it impacted the lifestyle of many people. There was a great change during that era. People during that era were bound to make less use of items and produce more in clothing, due to the economic hardship of the Great Depression. This trend, which is still popular today, made the fashion industry more accessible to the general public. These components have led to a more streamlined and cleaner look in fashion. But the popularity of backless evening gowns can be linked to the feeling of being desirable and attractive. The 1930s saw an upsurge in backless evening gowns, which transformed the perception of the ladies and their position in the public and society. The outfits acted as a symbol of luxury and sophistication while also being a way for the women to showcase their feminism and uniqueness. 

Why women love shopping more than men

Fashion is the term, which we can mainly relate with women rather men. Whether it’s about clothing or jewelry or most importantly shopping. Women love shopping very much. And some girls like to buy Mother’s Day gifts for their mothers. They love visiting malls, shops, more than anything else. It’s like their lifeline. Whenever you go for shopping you will notice that clothing stores and jewelry segment is mainly filled up with women. For purchasing one dress they will take much time. They judge the quality of the item that they may purchase. For purchasing one item, they will see some 100 items. They end up in buying the item as well. It is their habit.

Many of you will wonder why this is so. Why women love shopping so much. Well the reasons are explained just below:

• Peer Pressure: Women watch a well dressed woman more carefully than men do, and we always blame the man. Unlike men, women actually notices another woman’s dress, way of carrying the dress, material and colour of the dress, the jewelry she is wearing with the dress, whether the footwear goes with the dress or not, nail paint, lipstick and many more things. If a woman looks better than her, then she may either try to copy her, or will buy something more expensive or different from her. And if she fails in his effort, then she raises hand to the online shopping website toward. This may happen even if the better looking woman is her best friend. Hence peer pressure makes women shopaholic.

• To Impress Men: Women love compliments. And if the compliment comes from a man then it acts as icing on the cake. Compliments make women feel confidant, top of the world, etc. Every woman loves to become the centre of attraction.  She always wants to impress her man with her outlook, clothing, footwear, jewelry, etc. She wants to dress herself in such a way that she should get noticed in every occasion. A woman never wants her dress to be repeated in the occasions where some same types of persons attend. Hence, she prefers shopping over repeating dress.
