FASHION CULTURES

 Fashion is ever changing and never constant for any of us; it varies from individual to individual and their taste. 
Fashion for some is a way of life which not only includes their clothing but hairstyles, there has been a drastic change in how in earlier times people used have hairstyles and how now men and women do not site in with their hair and not only that there have been changes in the way people used to dress back then and how they dress now like in the 1900s
women were more towards conservative clothing where as with the passing time women became more aware and started to wear pants like men and slowly evolved as fashion keep changing like today women wear both dresses or gown and at the same time they are professionals wearing suits.  Fashion is a way people wish to portray themselves to the
world and how they wish people to see them, fashion depends on many factors like the society we live in or the surroundings we have or maybe our culture.
Cultures are one of the agents that defines us and
our identity and one of those factors too that affect our choice if clothes at times there are smaller cultures formed within cultures which are known as subculture which affect the cultures and the society as they affect peoples lifestyle and clothing. Some of the prominent subcultures are punk, hippie, minimalistic and gothic, these are cultures that have become popular and spread around the world due to the affect of globalization, these cultures spread and they are opted by people who slowly become strong believer of this culture and relate to it and these cultures
then affect our society. Like the punk culture, the punk era still greatly influences the way we dress. Those who relate to it feel liberated in that fashion should be an expression of us, it’s their own personal style, it’s their own lifestyle and their likes and dislikes and this first occurred due to the punk era. The punk cultures not only are an effect on those who follow it but they also are an influence on that mainstream fashion today, the Ripped jeans, pinned garments, studded bags and belts, heavy chains, leather jackets, the list goes on.  Different subcultures affect different groups, cultures and subcultures and led to various changes in our lives and the society like the change in the jeans from straight fit to rip jeans.
