Fashion is defined as the ability of an individual to express themselves, at times it is influenced by a mix of cultural, social and economic factors. However, particularly those that are considered “ugly” typically receive strong and varied reactions from the public.
It is said that fashion evolves. So, what was trending this year, chances are that it won’t be in the next. There are always new ideas and constant developments in the fashion industry.
Another way of looking at it is the difference between wearing and styling your clothes with examples below:
