Fashion is a mode of autonomy and self-expression in a certain cultural and time-period and at a certain context, of dress, shoes, lifestyle, makeup, hair style, and personal body posture. The word itself signifies a fashionable look defined as what is trendy at a certain point of time. It is about dressing up with the latest fashion trends. The use of certain symbols like the mac, the Y-shaped triangle often used in men’s wear, or the plaid worn by women, both imply a certain fashion style and is considered stylish.
There are numerous other factors and aspects that are associated with fashion and its various trends and fashions such as the effect of fashion on the economic structure, fashion design, and social class, the impact of celebrities’ fashion, the impact of the media on the beauty consciousness of the public, the impact of fashion on the political structure, and so on.
