What You Need to do in Order to Manage Fashion Influence

Many people will of course be consumed by pressure and worries of many serious things in life, such as money troubles, loss of family, debts, workloads, and more. However, an ever-increasing and more concerning pressure, especially within teenagers and young adults is the whole pressure of fashion and being in trend and season.

Manage Your Influence

It may be hard for certain people to understand, but fashion pressure is a really concerning issue and one that does need help and support from the younger generation. This basically makes some individuals feel far inferior to others as they are not keeping in line with the latest trends and fashions on the market. Overall, you really shouldn’t feel bad, as fashion has not been created by gods or the likes, fashion is simply a way for individuals to express themselves through clothing.

We are here to take a deep dive into how best to handle fashion pressure.

Trends are “trends” which basically mean they have a ‘best for date‘ which ultimately means… they don’t last forever. This is key to remember here when handling fashion pressure. This means people can dress for themselves rather than a trend that will soon be on its way out anyway. Trends can last long times, yes, don’t get us wrong, however, trends work in a cycle strangely enough. They will emerge and then boom and then quite quickly be replaced or ignored for a newer fashion trend which is more appealing in that current time than the existing trend. Sometimes trends within the fashion industry return, however, this is hard to predict and not all trends do. For example, shell suits from the 70s and 80s recently came back into fashion but again quickly disappeared once something else arose that was deemed bigger and better.

When the pressure of the new trend does get to you, remember that the trend will not last forever and will soon be replaced or ignored for something else.

Create your own identity

Creating your own fashion and identity is key to overcoming fashion pressures. You are your own person, so wearing what makes you happy and what makes you, you are really important here. Fashion is a way for you to express yourself, whether that’s through bright colors, or toned-down subtle wear to be in line with the seasons, it creates that unique identity about you that makes you, who you are.

Also, remember that trends come and go, meaning you don’t need to be following trends all the time, you could become a ‘trend setter’, meaning your personal fashion and identity, people will begin to replicate and wear as well as you.

You’re not alone with a trend, other people also follow it. Meaning dressing to trends could mean dressing the same as many other people. And the idea behind fashion is to truly shout about your own, personal identity, not what others are wearing.

Trends & Happiness

Not all trends bring happiness, and this is something to often remember when pressured about fashion. Trends may make you feel good and feel happy about yourself however they don’t always, this is down to your unique fashion and your own personal fashion choices.

Dress for you and your budget

Sometimes fashions and clothing can be quite an expensive purchase throughout the trend lifecycle and not everyone can afford it. If you become stressed that you can’t purchase the fashion trend don’t think of the cost that this will bring, plus the joy that that one item will bring. Are they in correlation? You can always look to purchase the items later down the line when your account or cash flow is more positive and makes the purchase of the fashion more affordable.

Overcoming self-conscious

Many people become self-conscious about how they look from a physical point of view or visual (what they wear). Some people have been fortunate enough not to experience this, however, those who have, know that it is more about feeling good about yourself rather than how you look. This means fashion pressure isn’t the cure or help.

Sometimes, feeling happy and good about yourself will help radiate positivity and confidence which in turn irradicates the self-conscious thoughts you have.

Conclusion

Overall, there are several steps to reducing fashion pressure and coping with the pressure to keep up with the latest fashion trends throughout the year. With fashion changing season to season, even month to month it is almost impossible to keep up with trends, meaning more important than ever, investing and working on yourself and your confidence is key.

Adapting your own fashion and wear to items that make you happy and confident is the easy solution. Once you feel confident in yourself the pressure of fashion massively reduces.
