Fashion and Social Media

Celebrities shape fashion and influence fashion trends. Famous people have always shaped fashion trends throughout history and this is still true today. 

Fashion is just wearing what is considered popular or chic. Certain things are considered chic or popular because famous people or celebrities are usually seen wearing these things. So, celebrities not only influence fashion. I would say that they create fashion too. Celebrities are often our inspiration for what to wear.

Social media and television play a huge role in how celebrities influence the youth. Television plays a really big role in the way that celebrities can influence fashion trends.

The average young person spends several hours a day watching television. It is obvious that if people spend long hours watching television or be active on any social media platform, it will start to affect

how they think and what they do. This sometimes, can actually be subconscious. 

Celebrities may not realize their influence but their trend setting power is huge among shoppers
Celebrities set the fashion trends. They always have, and fashion trends are catching on faster than in older generations due to the rise of social media. 

Young people always want to know more and see more. Beauty secrets revealed by celebrities are a big deal. Celebrity style influence is undoubtedly powerful for today’s youth.

Fashion is art, and art should be admired and shared with the world.

Consider these 5 things Before You Decides on Color

Colors are difficult to coordinate

There is nothing more limiting than a wardrobe of separates that are all different colors. Ground your wardrobe in flattering neutrals so that the colors can easily be added as accents.

Color gimmicks are exactly just that.

It’s not about what “color season” you are, it’s about the texture, tone and how the color looks on you as a whole. How does it look on you that day?

Color dates itself.

Every year comes with a color-tone of the year to grace things in market and motivates people to buy new things. But want happens the next year? This circle is repeated and before you know it, you’ll be wearing the color of 2003 in 2017 and looking out of touch and irrelevant.

Classic colors like black, navy, white, gray or red as an accent always look modern. Always stay in the now, look rich and look relevant.

Combine high and low.

When you do invest in key wardrobe pieces be certain that they will last from a color standpoint.

Color tells a visual story.

When you want to look classical and successful you need to stay away from colors that say the wrong thing. Present yourself in a language that looks global, modern and relevant. 

What Colors Complement Each Other

What color should I wear is a question that comes to most fashion/style expert. Color is one of their biggest roadblocks when it comes to creating a chic and professional image.

Here’s the truth about color and style if you want to look professional, chic, rich, and relevant: wear classic neutral colors!

Have you ever looked at professional, rich, relevant or classic men? They build a wardrobe around black or navy. 

Have you ever looked in high-end fashion houses like DL Republic, DLC clothing or Dr.Legendclothing (just Google them to see), you will see plenty of black, navy or white.

Keep in mind that it is not about the price tag but about the elegance that the color conveys. Stay away from murky off colors that only suck up your presence.

By all means do add color to your wardrobe, but think of color as an accent rather than a mainstay of your wardrobe.

Fashionistas Spot

Still on rule breaking… Yeh! Happy to disobey your fashion command. Fashion is supposed to be fun, refreshing and expressive, not a bunch of commandment. We are going to play around some rules or rather customize some rules to our benefit.

Fashion rules are meant to be followed and taken seriously

As you can see, they’re not. Wear what makes you feel awesome!

Sneakers are only for the gym

Who did set this rule? Well, recently this rule has been proven wrong.  The right pair of sneakers can take you way beyond the gym. When rocked with great fit and styled with dressier pieces, sneakers can add a modern twist to just any clothing.

 You should always match your shoes, bag, and belt

Don’t those types of fashion rules feel wildly out of date these days? Its total a non-issue in this day and age. In fact, matching all your accessories perfectly can make you look out-dated and patronal, whereas mixing things up looks fresh and modern, and adds interest to an outfit.

Only wear one bold color at a time

If we've learned anything from the recent color-blocking phenom, it’s that a bold saturated hue can look even better when paired with another bold saturated hue.  Try a bold color with another bold or even bolder and I bet, you’ll look super-modern and striking.

Brown and black don’t mix

This has long been a fashion rule that’s made to be broken, as black and brown actually go together quite well.

High-waist pants are always unflattering

High-waist bottoms get a bad rap but when worn correctly, they can trick the eye into thinking you’re taller and leaner by elongating your lower body.

Fashion Rules Are Set for Men and Not Men for the Rule

Perhaps this year you’re looking to improve the way you dress? You've noticed over the last couple of years that the number of style conscious men has risen significantly and yeah! It’s called progression. When you first start out in men’s fashion and style, it can all be a bit too much to take in. Men’s fashion has seriously caught up with its female counterpart in the last decade.

How do you start?

Begin by understanding the fashion acceptable rules, embrace it, and then think of how to tweak around it. After all, men set rules, not rules set men.

Break the Rules

Red and pink Don’t go for men

Somewhere along the way, these two shades got a ‘No’ from the guys, but when paired purposefully; they can actually look quite modern and eye-catching. This is a great rule to tweak around. Keep the red true, and add any shade of pink.

Navy and black don’t go together

It’s time we break this rule.  Navy and black look super-chic together. Try pairing this combo, you will be amazed at what you have been missing.  It’s a rule worth breaking.

Mixed prints are too busy

False! Actually, mixed prints can look extremely fresh, and elevate your look from ordinary to street-style ready.

Horizontal stripes make you look larger

Horizontal lines making you look wider is a pretty cliché “rule.” Pieces that are made well and fit well flatters every man.

Breaking Fashion Trends Rule

You Want To Break Fashion Trends Rule?

Do This...

Do the opposite of what's in style. An easy way to tell when a trend has gone stale is how ubiquitous it becomes. If you start to see a style that was once quirky and unique become mass-marketed, it's safe to say it's no longer trendy.

Now, this is your time crack up those trends. People will think its uncool, but hey! Who decides what’s cool?

Established yourself as a popular, fashion-conscious person, you may find yourself starting trends without realizing it. Just wear whatever you want and think looks nice. Your peers are likely to adopt aspects of your personal style to be more like you. If enough people follow suit, a new trend is born.

One popular strategy among fashionistas is to be a contrarian. Look at whatever trends are hot in the mainstream and craft a look around something completely different. More people will notice your look and are more likely to think of you as a fashion trendsetter instead of a follower.

Difference between fashion trend setter and fashion follower

When it comes to style there are two types of people; The Trend setter and the Fashion Follower. 

Following trends can have strategic value, but setting the trend can be even more beneficial. 

Fashion trend setters are fashion crazies and freaks while fashion followers just love fashion.

Trendsetters are creative fashion lovers while followers are fashion copycats.

Trendsetters take time to discover their style while followers don’t know their style.

Trendsetters surround themselves with creative people who will help them unleash their potential while followers just wait for the trend to slay.

Fashion trendsetters set the dos and don’ts of fashion; they don’t conform to any fashion rules. They set the rules while fashion followers follow the rules set by trendsetter.

Trendsetters take time to experiment clothes, then put fashion pieces together  while fashion followers doesn't have time for experimenting.

Trendsetters are always the attention of others, they always look perfectly put together, while followers are everybody’s lookalike.

Trendsetters strive for originality while remaining trendy and classy without looking crazy and ridiculous but followers doesn't care about originality.
