Fashion means style or manner of doing something. Fashion means something different. The manner of treating others, walking, talking, eating and dressing is fashion. A person who is fond of different style or manner is called fashionable. Fashion doesn’t mean just wearing stylish dresses and making show off. But now people have narrowed its meaning. They generally mean the manner of dressing.

It is not very much important that how one gets dressed up. Important is that how one carries oneself. Just by wearing fashionable dresses one cannot be called fashionable. Watching pictures and having so many luxurious items at home is not being fashionable. A person’s outlook or thinking should be modern. One should possess positive and scientific approach in life.

There are some advantages of fashion. Fashion reflects personality of a person. It is rightly said that manners and modes of life determine personality and character of a person. Fashion not only influences others but also makes the person self-confident. The person himself feels good. Everybody tries to look smart. Fashion helps them to look smart and impressive. Nowadays fashion is being treated as an industry. People of repute are coming into the field. It has cased a lot of scope for employment. Many people are getting jobs in this field.

As there are two sides of a coin the same case is with fashion. It has some disadvantages too. First of all it is wastage of time and money. It produces vanity in fashionable persons. A person who has vanity considers him superior and different from others. Such types of persons are restless. Most of the time they are in search of something new and different from others. They cannot tolerate others to have the same thing. Any fashion trend is not permanent. It gets rotated constantly. It is a race in which the quality of anything becomes poor because people specially women want whatever is in fashion. They don’t mind quality.

With the passage of time there is big change in our fashion trends. Many a times in the name of fashion we are adopting those things which are not good to our socio-cultural environment. Grace and fashion should go together. Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram should always be remembered.
