Fashion is in demand for all walks of life, young and old, male or female, and rich or poor. Fashion is a way to express one’s self and also a way of showing off. Fashion is being who you are. For most teens, image is important. Despite the provocativeness of much of today's fashion, it is possible for teen's to dress appropriately while keeping up with the latest trends.
In 1970's the latest fashion trends included, disco look, tie dye shirt, and fringe. The Disco look was one of the fashion styles in 1970’s because of the disco music station was introduced on New York radio. The Disco look is most often remembered by it's hot pants and spandex tops. According to Diana Monkowski of The Ultimate History Project, “Discos are nothing if not a fantasy world, where people can change your identity by changing your costume.” (Davis). Tie Dye T-Shirt continue to be one of the most trendy fashions. The tie dye shirt experience started with the hippies in the late 1960s. Tie Dye T- Shirts are bright and colorful clothes, one can even create your own unique style. During the 1970s, people create their tie dyed shirts at home in bright, colorful designs without any patterns or print. Tie Dye T- Shirts were worn with bell bottom pants and could be matching with tie dyed headband. The 1970’s, Fringe style was a quite possibly the greatest piece of layering gleaned from the 70s. Fringe style is a old fashion. In 1980’s the latest fashion was jumpsuits, oversized tops, and Mini Skirts. Jumpsuits were everywhere in the 70s, with their wide, flowing legs that made it fashionable to look like they were wearing long flowing dresses. In today’s jumpsuits are a lot more jump and a lot less suit. They engage less fabric than my batwings or E.G. Dail...

...and casual. Overalls was the hit because it covered your body comfortably. In the 21st Century, the transition from suitable to inappropriate began to emerge. For example, although high-wasted shorts covers the midsection of the body, the legs up to the buttocks are more exposed. Ten years after, type of pants include, ripped jeans, skinny, and low wasted. Type of tops include bare midriffs and tubes that expose the chest. Dresses are made of see-through fabrics and often short in length. Now even more influential are the celebrities who dress up provocatively, like Miley Cyrus. It is not wrong to follow latest trends but teenagers must be aware that what they wear can tell a lot about their personality. As a teenager, I recommend that we need to think wisely when it comes to dressing up because we are the future leaders of society and we want to become successful.
Men's fashion became more bold and daring throughout the 1970s. The hippie influence of the late 1960s crossed over into the fashion of both sexes. For men, this meant wide, colourful ties and bright, fitted shirts with big collars. Many men grew short beards, sideburns or moustaches and let their hair grow long.
Although the teens of the fabulous fifties have come and gone, the teens of today have stepped up to the plate to instill their own fashion trends, music, slang and history. The teens of the twenty-first are said to "be the future", although the future may not look too bright in some elders eyes. In contraire, that is what may have been thought to be said of the teens of the fifties. With their endless rock and roll and rebellion the teens of the fifties are very much different but very much the same of the teens in the twenty-first century. It is amazing to see what the world has become, from bobby socks and roadsters to mini skirts and vipers.
Why is our dress code so up tight and hard to follow? The dress code law started in the year of 1969. Over half (58%) of the schools in the U.S. follow a dress code and 155 wear uniforms. Some believe that dress code should be very strict in schools, but kids have their own style; the weather changes year round, and if we didn’t have dress code you could see the kids true personality. The truth is dress code is too strict and shouldn’t be a thing in schools.
The teenage years are a time when adolescents try out various personas, often trying out different styles of fashion. Adversaries argue that uniforms suppress an individual’s freedom of expression. However, the clothes that people wear, or can afford to wear, often classify the group by which they are acknowledged. As a result, many teens are outcast due to the fact that they cannot afford the latest trends in clothing. This rejection can lead to a number of problems for the outcast teen: depression, inability to focus on schoolwork, or just a general feeling of inferiority. School uniforms put everyone on the same level. According to Karin Polacheck (1995), “Uniforms help to create balanced diversity by alleviating racial and cultural tensions and encouraging values of tolerance and civility.” School Uniforms permit students to relate with one another without experiencing the socioeconomic barrier that non-uniform schools generate. More importantly, students are not criticized on how much they spent on clothes or how fashionable they look, but rather for their talents and their
The styles at the beginning of this decade were influenced heavily on the music. With the invention of iPods later in this decade, music was making an imprint on fashion. Rap music had a major influence on the dress of this decade. The Pop Punk look included low rise jeans, crop tops and trucker hats. Accessories included bellow button rings and piercings. Most of this style came from the previous decade and filtered into the beginning of the 2000s. Hip-hop dress took the influence from artists who dressed in baggy clothes. This transformed the fashion world by celebrities wearing Ugg boots and tracksuits. Near the end of this decade the hit television show Gossip Girl aired. This created the trend of private-school preppy to hit the
What is fashion and what importance does it have in people’s life? Is it hard to create fashion and who are those people who manage people’s mind and declare what is fashionable and what is not? Fashion started when people began to wear clothes. It was between 100,000 to 500,000 years ago. The way how people dressed indicated social status. Because of this fact fashion trends was established by royalty. In the 20th century when movie industry started to develop quickly, people began to watch how movie’s stars and celebrities wore. Despite this fact, people was mostly inclined on world leaders’ way of dressing. For example, princess Diana was setting the style although she wasn’t a fashion designer.

A famous designer called Mary Quant created mini-skirts and they became the most popular fashion style around that decade (Tracy Tolkien, 2002).

The world of fashion is an exciting one and people have become a part of it (Jennifer and Kim, 2010). Fashion is a word that can mean different things, to some people it means what celebrities or models wear on a public event. To others, fashion means the dressing style that people can wear it for their daily basis. Understand the definition of fashion is a basis of discussing the luxury consumption (Jennifer and Kim, 2010). Tortora and Eubank defined fashion as a way of behaving or some things and must be accepted by many members of group (Tortora and Eubank, 2005). For instance, the way of behaving include a wide variety of activities, such as the words people speak, the clothes people wear and the lifestyle people have. The majority of a
Adults make their own choices and have the freedom to express themselves through the clothing and appearance. Restricting teenagers this opportunity to make their own choices leave them unprepared for the adult world. According to Erik Erikson, “Adolescents see clothing choices as a means of identification, and seeking an identity is one of the critical stages of adolescence.”5 Advocates of the school uniform argue that students can still express their individuality with their hairstyle, makeup, and accessories. The outfit someone wears is not the only thing they can use to express themselves to those around
When you think about the word uniform, what’s the first thing that comes to you? You might think of a police officer, nurse, doctor or maybe even someone in the military, but what about uniforms for school? Today, there are more schools that are now considering switching to uniforms to keep things professional and equal to all students, but, is it really fair to make restrictions to students on wanting to be able to express themselves personally? Students might feel that they are being restricted on the freedom to be able to express who they are but schools believe that the safety and security of the student’s body should be more important than just expressing their own styles. Now, the school systems are struggling more each day to try to
Fashion is a style, which changes along with time. Fashion is mainly valued by females. Girls are always on the run to the mall to buy new stuff, which suits the new fashion. Whenever, something new comes to the mall, which is related to the fashion, girls will certainly crave this item. Fashion has changed as time passes but the girls will always crave clothing that is related to the current fashion. For example, in this collage a person shows that females like fancy shoes and heels. However, males are not addicted to fashion. Males are never interested in going to mall; they feel that this is boring. Males are more interested in formal clothing such as suits rather than buying fashionable clothing. For example, in this collage a person put a picture of a suit, which is not part of the newer fashion. Males understand that clothing is just a materialistic joy. This knowledge has helped boys stay away fro...
All things considered, I firmly believe that people devoted to fashion clothing could earn self-esteem and make them more confident. Nevertheless, it is significant to be original and capable of deciding what to wear by ourselves instead of following the trends without consider our personality. Needless to say, no one should discriminate someone because of not being in fashion. It is our responsibility to give the right importance to

Tight clothes are the status quo. It is popular in American culture to show off curves and allow women to express themselves and show off their bodies with tight-fitting jeans and crop tops. While girls should know what is and is not appropriate for school, sometimes it is hard to meet dress code standards with the fashion trends of today. Loose-fitting or non-skinny jeans are hard to find for teens and pre-teens anymore, and leggings com...
In former times teenagers find themselves expressing who they truly are by methods society sees as rebellion or protest. The beginning of this new era of rebellion began in the 1920’s with the United States reaching their industrialized peak. This rebellion was most found in the women. Women began to see and explore new fashion and styles rather than sticking to their mother’s old school ways of dressing. Womens hem line in dresses started to become shorter and shorter inventing the modernized skirt. Society found this absurd and schools began to fill with this new idea of fashion. Moving forward into more modern years, fashion was seen everywhere throughout the United States and mainly in public schools. Students began to experiment with their limited choices of appare...
