I find fashion bewildering. What makes something 'in'? I don't have a problem with people wearing what they want, I simply can't understand why what some people 'want' is dictated by fashion designers and magazines. Is it a desire to fit in? If someone genuinely likes their clothing, I don't really have a problem with that, but when people just start following trends for the sake of it, it can have nasty results. Eight-year-old girls with fake tan on their stomachs anyone? While not an item of clothing, it goes to show what happens when trends are blindly followed. I'm not saying that anyone wearing 'fashionable' clothing is a blind sheep, but some people won't suit the current trends at all, but still follow. If people only wore clothing that suited them would the designers still have such power over the clothing choices of the public?
