WHY EVERYONE HAS SOME SORT OF "FASHION STYLE"

      FOR THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE WHO SAY, "I HAVE NO FASHION SENSE" OR "FASHION IS STUPID" YOU ARE ONLY INSULTING YOURSELF. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK YOU JUST THROW SOMETHING ON, WE BOTH KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE. EVERYONE, AND I MEAN EVERYONE THINKS ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE WEARING. IF YOU JUST WEAR JEANS AND A T-SHIRT YOU STILL THOUGHT ABOUT IT. YOU COULD OF WORN SHORTS AND A T-SHIRT, JEANS AND A TANK-TOP, OR A SUIT, OR A DRESS, BUT YOU CHOSE TO WEAR JEANS AND A T-SHIRT. AND FYI, THEY CALL THAT STYLE CASUAL.
      IN MY OPINION I BELIEVE EVERYONE CARES ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK. IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOU HAVE INSECURITIES, BUT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, AT LEAST EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU LIKE TO REALLY LOOK NICE. MAYBE FOR THAT NIGHTCLUB, OR PARTY, OR EVEN WEDDING BECAUSE LET'S BE REAL, YOU WOULD NOT TRULY SHOW UP IN JEANS AND A SHIRT AT A WEDDING WOULD YOU? IF YOU SAID YES, THAT WEDDING BETTER BE A JEANS AND SHIRT TYPE OF THING!
      I CAME UP WITH A LIST AND NARROWED IT DOWN TO ABOUT 12 STYLES. (IF I HAVE LEFT ONE OUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT IT.)

      1. CLASSY
      2. PUNK
      3. GOTH
      4. HIPSTER
      5. EMO
      6. BOHEMIAN
      7. SCENE
      8. PREPPY
      9. CASUAL
     10. RETRO
     11. INDIE
     12.VINTAGE
   

WHAT IS FASHION?

            BASED ON THE DICTIONARY, "FASHION IS A POPULAR TREND ESPECIALLY IN DRESS, ORNAMENT, AND/OR BEHAVIOR." ON A BLOG FROM ABOUT.COM IT STATES "IT HAS THE POWER TO TRANSFORM AN IMAGE AND MAKE A SOCIAL STATEMENT." I BELIEVE THAT THESE DEFINITIONS ARE BASED ON SHALL I SAY, "POPULAR PERSPECTIVE" OF FASHION RATHER THAN BEING TRUE. I BELIEVE FASHION IS A WAY TO EXPRESS WHO YOU ARE AND FOR SOME PEOPLE, WHO THEY WOULD LIKE TO BECOME. IN SOME WAYS IT DOES PRESENT A SOCIAL STATEMENT, NOT ALWAYS A POPULAR ONE THOUGH.
              THERE ARE SO MANY "FASHION STYLES" THAT MAKE THE DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF FASHION TRUE IN SOME WAYS. THE "TREND" NOWADAYS ARE MUSTACHES, THICK RIMMED GLASSES, SEQUIN COLLARED SHIRTS, AND EVEN THE LATEST AIR JORDANS. MANY PEOPLE TEND TO DRESS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE POPULAR CROWD AND SAY, "THIS IS ME". I THINK BEING TRULY SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT MEANS YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT ONE THING THAT SETS YOU ASIDE FROM THE "IN" CROWD. AND NOT NECESSARILY JUST WHAT YOU WEAR BECAUSE FASHION INVOLVES(AS THE DICTIONARY DEFINES) BEHAVIOR, BUT HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF. ACTING ROWDY AND GETTING HYPED OVER DUMB THINGS DOES NOT MAKE YOU DIFFERENT BUT MORE AND MORE WHAT PEOPLE SEE EVERYDAY.
             FASHION DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN HAVING LOUIS VUITTON PURSES, COACH SHOES, AND THE LATEST ALLIGATOR BELT. FASHION IS ABOUT EXPRESSING YOURSELF EVEN IF IT IS NOT THE "POPULAR TREND".
