Once again, I need to quote a bad saying: fashion is perishable and style lasts forever.
Privately, fashion is actually more of a social tool (symbol) and consumer behavior.
There is a difference between fashion and beauty. It has three characteristics: popularity, imitation and blindness. So many times, it is not necessarily beautiful. Moreover, most people fell behind when they started to follow the fashion, because they just followed the media to complete a long-planned purchase. This is why fashion trends always rush by, but never last.
Many times, what kind of clothes you wear, what kind of shoes you wear and what kind of hairstyle you comb are actually showing which circle you are in, what kind of economic ability you have, what kind of aesthetics you have, what you want to advocate and what you don't like.
Therefore, when you are pursuing fashion, you are actually looking for your place in society according to this symbol-for example, a bunch of girls with sharp chins are drying famous cars and handbags in Weibo, hoping that they are celebrities.
So, if your soul is firm enough (forming a certain style, whether modern or not, gregarious), then you really have to lean back and dress up.
However, if you don't have a firm soul and style and a fixed position in society, you will still be shaken by other people's criticisms, so it's better to find the class you want to belong to and wear it according to its dress code, which is convenient for you to identify yourself and get recognition from others.
Many examples can prove that:
The clothing styles of politicians and members of the royal family have not changed much for decades or even hundreds of years, because their social status is quite clear.
Jobs wore pullover jeans for decades because his soul and style were independent and firm enough.
The modeling of Gossip Girl, the so-called residential style, and the preppy style of the American middle class that has remained unchanged for 50 years are the accurate basis for class division.
When can't I see an investment banker without a suit and tie? Either he is a Daniel or he is unemployed.
Military uniforms are often changed only once every ten years, but they have always been in a stable position in the fashion world because the positioning of the people wearing them is too clear.
"They spend most of their time and money on reading, skin care and fitness, but never step into the third example", probably because they don't understand or find the circle where they can belong correctly. (This is not derogatory. )
If you feel that you have always been out of step with fashion, it's probably that you haven't found the right way, because your aesthetics have helped you make a judgment in advance. For example, a girl who is a teacher or accountant wants to learn fashion from those girls who wear double C earrings, tights, blingbling and play nightclub fan. Of course, it doesn't feel right how to learn, and even if she learns, she can't persist. It's probably not good to study with Ruili and Li Meihui, but if you look at the OL-oriented fashion like CANCAM, you may find a suitable style.
