The Elements of a Trend

Elements of
a Trend
1. Number of Participants
A trend may be started by an
individual but the number of people
who follow it becomes bigger as time
goes by. The group turns into a
community, swells into national and
international societies.
Usually, a trend catches
a big number of people
when celebrities wore it.
People copy these
trendsetters so a new
fashion trend develops.
A trend is formed from repetitive
actions of people. When something is
done by people in many times, it
turns into a cultural trend.

2. Pattern of Behavior
The act of taking
selfie is now a trend.
It is almost
impossible not to see
a person taking selfie
in any places.
3. Long Period of Time

A trend has a long time frame,

sometimes running in decades. A trend
may experience some ups and downs
in popularity, may fade away, and may
recur.
For many decades, the
telephone is the main line of
voice communication. It
revolutionized modern
living and newer
technologies allow it now to
have applications and
Internet connectivity.
A trend has a starting point which
can be an idea, technology, event, or
person. There is always a reason
behind every trend.

4. Cause
For example, people wanted to
listen to recorded music that's why
Walkman with
headphones/earphones were
introduced. It became portable CD
players, then came the digital audio
players where music can be
downloaded. Now, music
streaming apps were available.
5. Consequence

A trend makes considerable influence

or impact. It influences behavior of
people and changes how people view
the world.
Social networking has become
an encompassing trend that
tends to influence behavior of
online users. Users began
subscribing to platforms, post
their activity and status, and
communicate with other
people.
 Learners will apply their
Today's Task: understanding of the elements of a
trend by analyzing a certain trend.
Afterwards, they will create a
graphic organizer of their choice
TRENDS AND that reveals their analysis. Here is

 Trend: Baggy Pants

In my observation, almost all students in our school wears trouser

Number of Participants pants, especially the senior high students.

Because they always wear it, trousers became a part of their

Pattern of Behavior
style and wear it everywhere.

Baggy pants were popular before, and it revived again during the
Long Period of Time
pandemic era up to now.

I think baggy pants became a trend again because people are more
Cause comfortable wearing it rather than skinny pants.

Because of baggy pants, more people wear it with neutral colors thus became
Consequence a start of aesthetic style of clothing
