Fashion -Latest Trends Influenced by Celebrities

Fashion -Latest Trends Influenced by Celebrities, But Make It
Your Own

Janice A. Karp

Is fashion influenced by Hollywood? When we see a popular
celebrity wearing an amazing outfit, is it the latest trend? The
editors of fashion magazines may think using famous people will
influence "what's hot and what's not." But what's HOT on a model
may be a NOT on many people!

I think there are many factors that sway us in certain
directions when we go shopping. Ethnicity may be an influence.
In certain cultures you have to dress a certain way. Showing a
lot of leg may not be appropriate. Obviously how you are built
is going to affect what type of clothes you buy. What a
celebrity wears and looks incredible in may look unflattering on
you. Money is a monumental influence when buying clothes. Most
of us don't make millions a year and therefore can't afford to
shop in the boutiques or stores our favorite actresses or actors
frequent.

Even if we like what the hottest stars are wearing, why would we
want to copy them. The marvelous, fun part of shopping is the
statement we make when we put an outfit together. It doesn't
have to be a loud statement; just a subtle one that shows our
individuality. If we dress just like Lindsey Lohan or Ashley
Olsen we still won't resemble them. When you see your favorite
star on the cover of a magazine, it's enticing you to buy that
particular issue, which is exactly what the company wants you to
do. Inside will most likely be a fashion spread featuring what
the "It Girls" are wearing. In my opinion, use it as a guide and
then tweak it with your own personality.

I like to be fashionable, comfortable, and not spend an absurd
amount of money. There are many stores that sell the latest in
stylish clothing for a very reasonable price. Old Navy, The Gap
and The Loft are some. You can buy jeans, T's, clothes for the
office and still have money left over for shoes.

I enjoy the magazine ads and TV commercials that feature
beautiful celebrities. Maybe on occasion I will be influenced to
buy a bracelet I see. But as far as clothes, I think I'll stick
with what looks good on me. Maybe my low-rise jeans with the
stitching on the back pockets and weathered longer length
t-shirt with flip-flops to match, will influence someone's
fashion style.

Shop ClassicCloseouts for famous makers like
Calvin Klein, Nike, Polo, Ecko Red, Perry Ellis and more!
