Hello my lovely readers, sorry i have been away for sometime...
The last time we talked about Heels and Sneakers, Today we will be talking about Fashion and Style..
..
Fashion is commonality ie;Something that is everywhere.Style on the other hand is Individuality(Personal decision or inbuilt).
You may be fashionable,but out of style. There are fashionable people and they are those who follow fashion without any regard to whether the fashion suits them or not.
Differentiating between fashion and style can be quite difficult because it is unexplainable,but is meant to be seen, heard and experienced.
Just like Oscar de la Renta would say ''Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable while style is more about being yourself''.
Fashion is the relationship to the external.
It is concerned with “what’s out there” (fashion items, in the stores). It’s a matching process between what’s out there (fashion’s primary interest) to what I’m wearing. Is what I’m wearing a ‘match’ for what’s ‘out there’, to what’s been deemed ‘in fashion’?.Fashion is useful for refueling of style and is the flavor of the day.Fashion maybe the most democratic of all the art forms because we all have to go through the ritual of dressing up daily.
Style is the relationship to the internal.
It’s about “what’s in here” (my sense of self, my identity, my perception of who I am). The matching process is between what’s in here and how that is reflected and expressed in what I’m wearing. Does my clothing ‘match’ my sense of who I am, at least for today?
Style is something that belongs to no one, and to everyone.People with style dress in harmony with their inner most authentic selves.
A fashionable person are always following the current fashion trends.Even if the trend is ugly or doesn't go with your personality,If the color that is in season does not go with you at all,one must conform to it,and considered to be Fashionable.
Style on the other hand,is considered more permanent and timeless as it doesn't need change.Style is unique to everyone. A stylish person often doesn't care about what is in fashion.They are always more concerned about what suits their body etc.
In conclusion;Style however,can be considered as an extension of Fashion as you can use what is in fashion and incorporate it in your own style giving it an altogether different touch.
