Factors involved in setting fashion and trends.

Factors involved in setting fashion and trends….

When we think of fashion, we always think to look good, using anything that we can to depict our personality in more impressive and elegant way. The body shapes, physique and structures are different of anyone in the world. So as the fashion has the same amount of diversity in the world. Most of the people try to look good in one way or another. The cultural and traditional diversities in the world influence the fashion for the different demographics of the people.

The first and the most important factor influencing the fashion are demographics. It includes the geography, class, age, gender and ethnicity and other demographical factors. The people related to fashion keep in mind the demographics of the target customers to introduce and practice fashion among them.

 Have you thought that why the fashions and trends are different for people living in different parts of the world? Why for an American a trend is exactly be opposite than the Indian? These are the cultural values which makes them think different from the people of other cultures. It is commonly noticed that the brides in West use the dresses of white color mostly on their weddings, whereas, in India white dresses are used at funerals and at mourning situations. Similarly, the fashions and trends are highly dependent on the cultures, traditions and values.

The other factor can be the climate and conditions. The climate of a place is also important in the determination of the fashion and trends. In the cold areas of world, the jackets, over coats and the other garments designed and used specifically to tackle the cold climate. Similarly, for the hot areas, the apparels and garments are designed keeping in mind the convenience of the people living there.

Different events and occasions are also considered while dressing up and similarly the fashion designers and professional focuses on the clothing to be designed and prepared for specific events and occasions. In this regard, the simple classification is formal wear and casual wear. This is very important to know that what styles of dresses are formal and what are the casual wears. Trends and fashions for formal events and occasions are entirely different from the fashions and trends of casual wears.   

What is Fashion? Fashion Defined

What is Fashion? Fashion Defined…...
Internationally fashion industry is claimed to be a very big industries of all which made a lot of entrepreneurs. Just in Italy there are 100s of brands which came to be famous and popular in no time. Italians are said to be the kings and the initiators of the world’s fashion from decades and before that, the world was not really aware of fashion, styles and trends. This actually starts a few decades earlier, when the mankind became civilized and stared paying attention to what they wear and how they look.
The fashion belongs to every person of the world. It is not the ownership of anyone and no one even claims it. Everyone in this world has a unique personality, and fashion plays a vital role to depict it to others. Being owned by everyone, the density of fashion is equal to the number of people in the world which have their own eyes to view the fashion and own ways to perform it and practice it in their daily lives. It is just a wrong perception of everyone about the in and outs of fashion. The ins and outs are only associated with the trend, not fashion. Fashion simply can be defined as “Whatever you wear regardless of style and everything”, that is your fashion. Yes on the other hand, trends are the styles and outlooks, which are related to the seasons, colors, special wearing and likes and dislikes.
 Fashion industry is also at its boom, till the word fashion was introduced among the human civilization. Professionals around the world are much focused to maintain and standardized the fashion. When we talk about fashion “industry”, it involves monetary issues exactly as the other industries are related to. Fashion symbols, fashion celebrities and all the stake holders of fashions are only promoting fashion to create a demand and supply chain for the fashion products. This is nothing but a way of earning on the name of fashion. The brands are earning at a huge percentage for all the different products they introduce. They cost is said to be nothing as compared to the price, and they call it the cost of the idea to create a fashion product. The same idea can rest in your mind too and you can also create the product f your demand and need. But to avoid hassle and looking out for the materials and supplies you need, you are bound to purchase costly products saving the time and effort.

2.            Pakistani and Indian Fashion for women: What is trendy?


Many people in India and Pakistan are concerned with ins and outs of the fashion. They are conscious to look awesome and updated with their outlook. India has a very big fashion industry having many names renowned in the world so as the Pakistanis are not that much familiar around the world in this field but they have much in this regard. In Pakistan the fashion among girls is all about shalwar kameez. In India the sarees are more common than anything else among women. There are several other categories and styles which are customized by designers, in shalwar kameez and sarees. Like in Pakistan anarkali, pishwas, long Kameez, short kameez, patyaala shalwaars, pajamas and other different styles of shalwars and kameez are in fashion. Remember that trend changes not the fashions.

Fashion designers all over the world set the trends for the people. Mostly for the fashion and trends in the world, Italians are the trendsetters. After them all the designers of their own countries are responsible to set the trends. Indian and Pakistani fashion is influenced by the Italian fashion up to some extent, but having their own cultural values, they have to set the trends for themselves. On the other hand, it is quite obvious that for the western style and fashion, the whole world follows Italians.

Indian fashion industry is at boom because of their charming film industry the “BOLLYWOOD;”. They are highly professional in their aspects and as the bollywood industry is one of the largest film industries in the world they have all the ways identified to influence the fashion around the world. There are many provinces in India and similarly it has diverse cultures which have their own fashion standards to follow.

Fashions and Trend: What is the Difference?

Fashions and Trend: What is the Difference?

What are your views to differentiate the fashion and trend? In my view the fashion can never be outdated where the trend can be. People always talk about the fashion in a way that what fashion is in and what is out. Actually they talk about trends not actually the fashion. Everything your wear, can said to be a fashion. Whereas, you have to wear the trendy apparels and desi garments according to the season to depict your trendy sense of wearing and your fashionable outlook. This is not a big deal to wear the trendy garments. You just need to have a little trendy dress sense with the knowledge of the seasonal outfit and colors.


It is simple to know about the seasonal colors. All the light colors are the summer colors and the dark ones are winter. Spring and autumn seasonal colors can be both the light and dark color. Despite of all these standards, you can wear anything you want and of any type you with the colors of your choice at anytime of the year. It is your look, and will be always be your look, just wear what you like.

All over Pakistan, there is blend of fashion and trend with the culture and traditions. Pakistani fashion and trend revolves around these traditions to give it a unique status. Although, it is also very influenced with the Indian fashion and trend because it is a very big industry as compared to Pakistan. Still the culture and traditions of all four provinces of Pakistan are also influencing he fashion and trends. It is not only the culture inside Pakistan, and the Indian fashion trends, the western trends and fashion also play a big role to set a trend for the people of Pakistan about their clothing.

Trends and fashion costs a lot of money. You need to spend more on brands and the trendy cloths to make or buy for yourself. It is not an easy task to become a fashion designer for yourself, but you can be one with the passage of time, using branded cloths. But this will also take a lot to do, if you want a dress to be designed by you for yourself. You will not be able find the material and cloth of your requirements soon. The easy way is to find some dresses of your choice, from a variety of outlets having a range of garments.
