People also utilize fashion as a way to be judged or not be judged. Some people dress in high-end, fashionable clothing to show that they take care of themselves and want to stand out in a positive way. Others may wear clothes that allow them to hide such as plain jeans and tops or normal salwar kamij that allow someone to blend into a crowd. This shows that both making a statement and trying not to make a statement actually do end up making a statement although trying not to make a statement states that we don't want to be noticed. Some people utilize fashion as a means of self definition. For example, for some people, brand names carry intrinsic value. A person may wear Polo Ralph Lauren t-shirt frequently. There are reasons as well. The brand makes a person feel connected to the fashion that they love. It does not matter that the person could by about ten shirts at Ecstasy for the price of one Polo Ralph Lauren t-shirt but the Polo Ralph Lauren piece gives a person self esteem and pride in their appearance. On the other side of the coin, some people do not care about fashion, and while this is fine, does not necessarily serve the person well. People are often judged by their lack of fashion sense. Even though people may not judge others by bad fashion sense on the surface, the issue does come up in the matters of job promotions and future success. If a person does not dress and carry themselves well, it shows a lack of pride in themselves, which may portray that a person will not care about other things as well in their job!
Thus, we can conclude that fashion is very important as it is a way with which people can freely express their thought, ideas and opinion by just wearing clothes that sums up who they are and what they love. As we know, not everyone is confident, so fashion allows these set of people to be who they are without needing to explain themselves in any way. This fashion can include or exclude people in modern society. Fashion allows us to fit, or not to fit, in a way that we desire.
