store can increase the chance of finding your own style at the end. I feel that nowadays there are still many people, especially young people, who feel quite lost in life and simply don't know who they are. In this case, these people want to be someone else, for example, someone they look up to like an idol. So when a celebrity posts a cool photo of their new sweater, they immediately want to buy it to look and feel like their idols. Fashion can give these people therefore a sense of identity that can help overcome self-doubt or identity problems. Even though celebrities are usually the trendsetters, social media in general definitely influences your fashion as well. This is because they are one of the few platforms where people from all over the world can connect and talk about these topics. Also if you post about fashion on social media, chances are that you can join a fashion community where you can share your latest fashion ideas and further improve your look by benefiting from the style tips of other fashion community members. Aside from the many benefits, there are also some problems associated with this concept. One problem with following fashion trends is that it can simply be quite costly and time consuming. So if you always want to follow the latest fashion trends, you will spend a lot of money on new stuff because your old clothes will soon become outdated. I mean, if you think about it, trends change so fast that over time it can probably even feel like real work to keep adjusting your style. Another disadvantage of following fashion trends is that it can be quite harmful to our environment. Because when you follow fashion trends, you have to buy a lot of clothes that are only used for a relatively short period of time. And with each additional material that has to be produced, we cause significant pollution and this often contributes to global warming. In general, fashion trends can also lead to rather superficial social values. When people only pay attention to their appearance and no longer care about inner values, they get into a state where they become very self-centered and therefore lose compassion for each other. Many people also lose their own character by following fashion trends. Especially young people are often at high risk of suffering from anorexia and sometimes depression. This is because most fashion trends are meant for women who are quite thin. This would also mean that if you want to be like your idols, you may have to lose weight, which can lead to serious mental and physical problems in the long run. Beauty knows no pain. This is also true when it comes to following the latest fashion trends. In fact, many clothes are quite uncomfortable and you have to suffer quite a bit over time just to look good. So we can conclude that following the latest fashion trends has many advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I have nothing against fashion trends. I find it quite entertaining and exciting to see what's new or what has been made trendy again. But I don't really rely on fashion trends because I prefer to set my own instead. I like to buy things that I like and feel comfortable in, and I don't spend money on clothes just because they're in trend. I also think it's fun to express yourself through clothes, and I like to do that actually myself. In the end, you have to decide for yourself if it's worth the pros and cons of following fashion trends or not.
