Passion For Fashion


by Tate Smith

Do you know someone with a passion for fashion? Or is it you that has a love affair with haute couture? It is all too easy to dismiss a love of fashion as a trivial affair but for many people it is a lifetime's devotion.

The feel of a cashmere jumper, the intricate decoration on the lapel of a jacket or the sheer enjoyment that comes with wearing a bespoke suit cannot be beaten. And don't forget the accessories as well. An elegant, slim fitting watch or a skilfully designed pair of cufflinks all adds that certain something as well as being objects of desire in their own right.

After all, the aim is to look and feel your best.

Fashion statement

Fashion isn't just about clothes: that may seem like a nonsensical statement but if you stop and think about it for a moment you will realise that fashion is more than just what you wear. It is about defining your identity; standing out from the crowd; lifestyle and status; personality and not forgetting that oh so sticky issue - your age.

Let's be honest: what you wear says a great deal about you. People make judgements about what others wear which can work for or against you. Get it right and you look like a million dollars, get it wrong and you will wished you stayed at home!

Emotional response

Fashion elicits a range of emotions in its admirers which range from the initial endorphin rush when you spot that 'must have' garment: through to pride and increased self confidence when wearing that outfit of your dreams.

Fashion 'one night' stands

There are clothes which are bought on impulse that have the power to excite and frighten in the same breath. There is that initial frisson of delight when you have spotted an item of clothing which breaks all the fashion rules. And then there is that momentary fear because you have had the nerve to do so. It is never easy to be a fashion leader rather than a fashion follower but the risks are worth it.

Fashion staples

There are items of clothing which are always on trend. These include the little black dress for women, the crisp white shirt for men, the military jacket and the slip on loafers. These and many other items come and go but are still a fashion favourite.

Fashion is cyclical in that what goes around comes around so you can be sure that those straight leg jeans or plain white t-shirt will make a comeback very soon. Albeit with a few changes this time.

Fluid and evolving

Expect your tastes in fashion to change over time which is due to growing older and taking on responsibilities. You can experiment with different colours, textures and accessories when single and fancy free but this them makes way for classic combinations where simplicity and style are the most important aspects.

Fashion delight or fashion disaster: whatever path you choose a passion for fashion remains as strong as ever. This is not a brief encounter.
