Fashion - Self Expression Tool
Fashion is a tool that for many years has been used as a mode of self-expression. We drape ourselves in items, which we feel close to. Have you ever thought about why few friends refuse to get out of their pajamas while the others are always decked up irrespective of where they are? Well, that's because how they dress up, becomes a part of their personality. It enhances their inner world and helps them connect to themselves. Fashion can help evoke emotions, generate a sense of confidence and make us feel good about ourselves on a bad day.
Race and ethnicity play such a huge role in fashion. With the help of clothing, people from different backgrounds and ethnicities can showcase their history and culture. Even in India simple clothing such as a saree is worn in different ways across the country. By looking at the way a saree is worn one can identify to a great extent where they come from. The fashion industry has caused the unification of cultures, countries, and nations in ways more than one imagines. Hence, fashion has not only turned out to be a mode of self-expression but also a way to get people closer. You can adapt styles from cultures around the world that feel close to home and discard the rest. Also, the way a person looks is a rebellion of the true self against the boxes society tries to put it in.
