Is fashion a show or a change?

Nowadays, fashion as well as changes in people’s lives are common topics among the
society. It is said that fashion reflects changes in how people live. Recent research by
scientists has confirmed that there are opinions both for and against this statement.
Although, I believe that this statement is true, the question is: is it that big of a change?
For years fashion has changed drastically, almost unrecognizable. New trends set by the
young people crowded out the old ones. For instance, just over 40 years ago, when my
grandparents were teenagers, fashion looked completely different than it does today. First
of all, there was not so much variety both in colors and types of clothes. Over the years,
both quality and production have increased making them more accessible.
Speaking of increased availability of different clothes, there has also been increased
competition and jealousy between people caused by the variety of clothes, what I noticed in
my country. Some people cannot afford every clothe, especially these from well-known
brands. Clothes are often an element of showing off and showing your wealth, which leads
to jealousy and often many misunderstandings in the society.
Despite the difficulties and annoyances associated with fashion that people often
encounter, it is an extremely important element in the lives of each of us, because it
introduces changes in society. Thus, fashion can be seen as the beginning of something new,
a new, fresh beginning.
