Are you a trend setter or do you follow trends?

Hey guys,

How are you all doing today?

I came across a few articles in a magazine at my workplace in which there were a whole lot of pictures which consisted of completely new fashion styles and clothing. I was bit taken aback because I had never seen such kind of clothing before. It was oddly designed and in the most radical colors I had ever seen. Below these articles were posts and comments from people who have purchased these products and have worn the same. The only thing was when I turned the page I saw their pictures and it was a horrendous sight to see. Half the styles that were worn by locals did not even look good. But because it was in trend they purchased it. I would say out of 10, only 2 were actually able to carry it off.

Coming back to my title of this post. Would you do the same? Would you just go out and blindly purchase an item just so that you follow the trends that show up on magazines? Are you even comfortable in what you’re wearing if you do?

Or are you the type to set your own trends and be your own stylist? Do you wear what you like and what you feel comfortable in? Do you spend money on items that are prices at reasonable rates and that makes you look good?

I for one, am a trend setter. I do not follow magazines and fashion trends as per what’s happening around me. Yes I admire them but if I am aware that I will not be able to carry off something then I wouldn’t even bother. I wear what I am comfortable in, what makes me look good (according to me) and what I feel I can carry off.

Why follow others when you can be your own fashion diva!

 

What about you guys?

    • As for me, I never follow fashionable trends. I just feel comfortable having my own style. There are some people who are so fond of buying trendy clothes. The mere fact, it is not suitable for them.

      • Yes thats right. I know a whole lot of people from my college who try to do exactly what is in trend but somehow and unfortunately they end up looking ridiculous. Some people should realise that not all clothes suit you. You just have to find what you are comfortable in and what makes you feel good.

    • When I was in my teenage and young adult years, fashion was sort of important to me. But as I got older and started having kids, all I wanted to do was wear comfortable clothing. I've never been a trend setter. Nobody would want to dress like me. :) But if the fashion trend leaned toward comfort, I'd probably follow it. :)

      • Yes I can say the same. I am not a trend setter myself. I too follow the use of comfortable clothing and not fashionable. Most of the fashionable wear you may find nowadays are uncomfortable and I dont see why anyone would want to put themselves through all that trouble right?

    • I don't follow fashion designs nor do things because others are doing it. I do things because it Worth's doing and because I like doing it.

      So if I should go in what others are doing I may not feel comfortable doing it because am not others. I am myself and I like doing things in my own way. I like being myself. Setting the pace.

      • You could not have said it any better. Doing what you love and what makes you happy is the key to being comfortable and leading a pleasant life. Yes we should do things our own way. I dont really get why people follow magazines for hairstyles, clothing styles, shoe styles even eating for that matter.

    • Trend setting or following is not restricted to fashions alone. Trend setting can be seen in so many areas. I did set a trend growing Papayas in my garden. I did away with the thinking that Papayas are grown only by poor people.

      • Yes you are absolutely right but in my post here I am mainly focusing on beauty and style but then again what you say is right. trend setting can be related to many different things.

    • I have seen some follow tends and some set trends according to their metal traits but trend settlers are a few and trend followers are more all over the world.

      One problem with trends is that by the time they're identified, they're usually already old news. Many professionals are reading the same trade publications and articles as you are, so you'll be behind the curve if you simply copy what you read. It's important that you read about current tactics that are working, learn from them, and use them as jumping-off points for your own creative strategies.

      Consumer habits change; when that happens, unprepared businesses crumble. For lasting success, business owners must not only know the market but create a product that addresses a long-term need. A particular smartwatch app may be successful for a while, but an app that can work across a variety of platforms, from wearables to phones, is more likely to endure for the long haul.

      When a small business seeks funding, potential investors will often research the market to determine whether similar ideas are already in motion. If an investor is copying a trend, chances are someone is already out there doing the same thing effectively.

      Unless the startup can show differences in what it will offer the market, it will likely fail to get the funding it needs. Even if it can secure funding, if the competition has established a place in the market, it'll be more likely to overwhelm the new company's attempts to get attention.
