FASHION, TRENDS AND LIFESTYLES

Do we wear things because they are popular or we make them popular?


We dress up because of the climate, the tradition, the personal 
expression and intimacy. In this international and modern world, everything is always changing including the tendencies and styles.

Everything designers say and make up can create new trends that will change many people style. They work hard, day by day and perfectly synchronize to sell and  get a lot of money. Sometimes they make macro trends which influence in a massive quantity of people, micro trends only affect a part of the society and there are also fads which don’t get many people’s attraction and have little potential. How we see people dressed in the streets sometimes lets us know how their way of life is.

CUTE DRESSES, FOR ALL KIND OF STYLES


Around us, different urban tribes walk through the streets. We can see with their clothing that their life style is different than ours. Our society has a rich variety of styles. In Barcelona, in the same street we can find posh people, hippies, punks, snobs, gothic people, etc.

HIPPY PRETTY TEENAGER!

For example, we can identify gothic people by their dark clothing and spikes necklaces which show their need of being different and rebel attitude. That’s their personality and we can’t judge it.


GOTHIC PEOPLE ON "BCN" STREETS!

We can find different styles depending in our surroundings. In our school, we wear uniform, which helps us not to judge each other by our clothes. In the other side, our families styles change by the age, older people usually wear more formal clothes than teenagers who have lots of different styles but publicity fools us with marketing and makes us believe that their trends are the best.

ALL TYPES OF STYLES, WHAT'S YOURS?

Nowadays some trends can be really high-lighted for example; a lot of people wear wide sweaters, skinny jeans, t-shirts with elbow patches and “panama jack” shoes.


"BCN" TRENDS, MOST TEENAGERS
WEAR THEM!

  3. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for this blog in general! I think it's pretty cool right now, but I would like it even better if you added more extra pictures! About the post... I would like to add that not all Gothics are like those you pictured in the photo above, those are a little extreme. I agree with you that the style can give us clues about a person's personality, but it never tells everything about them.
    Keep the posts going! And if you did more of them in English, it would be awesome for me!
