Fashion is basically a style of dressing and self-expression in a certain time and place and at a certain context, most often in a social setting. The word itself implies a precise look determined by the fashion industry as what is fashionable at the moment. This is not the same as popular culture or popular taste that people tend to copy or follow, as a result, what is fashionable today becomes out of date very quickly. Instead it’s a more consciously considered approach to dressing. It may refer loosely to a current fad or style, but more often than not it refers to something you wear or aren’t comfortable wearing or isn’t appropriate to your personality or situation.

The fashion has many definitions, but probably the most common one is the “American Style.” Basically this means that dresses are usually preppy or sporty, tight-fitting, with a bit of elbow room for growth and usually lack pockets. Jeans are classic American dress pants and are almost never worn for work unless they’re blue jeans. Most girls’ outfits are centered around this particular style of dress. Boys usually prefer baseball caps, basketball jerseys, or other casual apparels.

The “Lifestyle” is another broad term, often used interchangeably with “fashion,” that pertains to how people live their lives. Basically it means that this is all about what you wear, who you dress with, what you eat, and how you feel. It’s all about having a good time. If you feel bad about it then you just can’t wear it, period. If you think it’s cool you should be happy, and if you think its trashy then you should be ashamed.

Fashion is an ever-changing thing. It may seem like all the latest styles have been created yesterday, but that’s not necessarily true. Trends come and go in a matter of months and years. Just because something looks good on your friend doesn’t mean it will look good on you.

So how do you know what’s “in” and what’s “out”? Well, if you have any sort of opinion about what’s out there, listen up because we are about to tell you. Do not try to copy anything that anyone else is wearing! Remember, you are unique and your fashion choices should reflect that. There is no need to make yourself look like everyone else, why start that trend? Instead, why not make your own style.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s discuss some of the fashions that are hotter right now. Remember, girls’ fashion is always changing, so you don’t need to be stuck wearing the same old thing all the time. Instead, let your sense of style dictate what you choose to wear and be willing to try new things from time-to-time. With some careful planning you can keep up with all the fashion and still keep yourself unique.
