FASHION FOLLOWER OR TREND SETTER ?

Whether we like it or not fashion is an integral part of our lives. It dictates what we wear, how we wear it and when we wear it. It’s in our face every day.  It influences the way we interact with people, because it’s first thing we see so in a way it influences relationships,  social perception and attitude. Coco Chanel said, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

When it comes to style there are two types of people; The Trendsetter and the Fashion Follower.  It is quite cool to know what celebrities are wearing and what’s in at the moment but should we follow these trends blindly or do we adapt them to fit our own personal lifestyles?  A fashion trend setter enjoys putting fashion pieces together in a way that is different, fresh and new. They always grab the attention of others because of their unique style. They are daring, creative, imaginative, but yet original when it comes to fashion. A trend setter always has followers as they are highly admired for their great fashion sense.

A fashion trend follower looks toward others for the next big fashion move. They appreciate the fashion ideas of trend setters and will create those same ideas with their own wardrobe.

Fashion trend setters set the do’s and don’ts of fashion while fashion trend followers look for the next fashion do or fashion don’t. Whether a person is taking the fashion scene by surprise with their interesting creations or wearing the latest pieces seen on their favorite entertainer is still their own form of expression. It’s okay to be either a fashion trend setter or a fashion trend follower as long as a person is comfortable, exude confidence and enjoy what they are wearing.

Street style is usually the mix of both but those who usually catch out attention are those who have their own unique take on clothes

Being stylish consists of a complete package and goes beyond what you’re wearing.  Here are a few pointers to know if you are a fashion follow or fashion trendsetter.
