Fashion wasn’t always a huge part of our lives. Back in the old days you didn’t have to care if your pants match your shirt, or your shoes. It’s not like people were not into fashion. But your choices were limited, or awful. When you look at these new fashion trends it really makes you wonder.
Is this how we’re going forward? Is this the feature of clothing?
Let’s take a look at Kanye’s sense of fashion for a moment.
This guy suppose to be obsessed with fashion. Fashion is the reason why he publicly asked for money from Mark Zuckerberg (using Twitter). But then again, we shouldn’t use Kanye as a fashion icon, and this is why…
“People could say, ‘What do you mean you want to help the world and you’re so concerned about fashion?’ It’s illegal to be naked. It’s not illegal to not listen to music. That is a very high opinion to have. That is something that is extremely important.” – Kanye West.
But even if we take Kanye West aside, we still have a pretty absurd trend going on.
Is someone really going to buy and wear this? We don’t think so.
But men fashion wasn’t exactly great in the past as well.
So it’s not a surprise to see that the present men fashion is far away from what we’ve expected. Of course, we’re only talking about the trending fashion shows that present the newest ideas.
The ideal solution to this sort of problem is to simply wear what you want. That’s exactly what 22-year-old Holly Foster from the United Kingdom did.
She decided to to dress differently than other women her age.
“I think if girls dressed more demurely they would find they would be treated more as adults particularly and treated like ladies,” Holly told Barcroft TV. “If you compare a modern-day woman with a vintage 1950s lady, the difference is just that: she’s a lady.”
The 22-year-old believe that her original way of dressing will result in more “respect.”
“If you dress like a lady you will be treated like a lady. A short skirt or perhaps more a see-through top, may attract unwanted attention,” she said. “You walk into a room all the guys are looking at you, just up and down like you’re a piece of meat and I think if girls had longer skirts they would feel more confident and safe.”
She was raised by her grandparents in her formative years, watching a a ton of old movies. She started to adopt the 1950s style when she was only 17 years old.
“What is really interesting is when you look at vintage magazines, the 1950s really embraces all shapes and sizes because young women were told how to dress for their shape,” she said. “Young people would concentrate on wanting to look nice rather than being as thin as possible. It would be about the clothes and not about the size of them.”
Holy’s friends are not into the vintage 1950s look, but she doesn’t mind. She has all the support she needs from the vintage community she’s a part of.
“I think I love the vintage community because it embraces more than just wardrobe; everyone is very respectful and well mannered. It has old-fashioned values which have been lost in our society today,” she said.
