Fashion is the word which is very often heard in our day today communication around the world. If you look at the synonym of “fashion” it wonderfully explains the meaning, which is a style, a way, a manner, a trend, or a craze. The media like television, cinema, social media and all the Mass Medias today stir the young generation towards a new trend called Fashion. Well you may wonder what does Fashion has got to do with education your question is justified. Yes it does has got a great link with education more specially with the students community. The recent survey clearly tells the effort of this particular field called Fashion has recently captured the hearts of young minds in a great way. I am sure the young generation caught up with this so much at times they find hard to judge between good and bad, following few thoughts are just exploration of the young.
- The young students
The students generally try to copy fashions from films and other Medias. The young feel fashion instills in them a sense of confidence in the mind and makes them look smart. Fashion should be promoted to enrich the life, not to degrade it. The normal feeling of everyone is that one wants to look beautiful and stylish. The youth of today wants to be different in their approach towards life. The elderly people would agree the dress code should be stylish at same time in the name of fashion it should not make people around uncomfortable. As the days go by the trend by the influence of media changes to which the young generation should be vary cautions about life style. In the name of fashion one should not deviate the culture of any nation.
- Fashion in modern society
In a past growing competitive world, everything has become new trend at times people forget the newness and richness of life lived. In modern society, the increasing number of advertisements on clothing imply that fashion is going to be an essential factor in our lives. Fashion is a popular style of wearing clothes, hair styles, manner in which you get in touch with people around you, etiquette in which you move with people in common place, habits that makes you look great amidst people. Clothes mark a man’s status. We cannot deny the craze for fashion is great among the students and youth all over the world. Fashion has spread all the sphere of life. When we talk about in the field of education fashion study has become integral part of education. This must make the child understand and learn to create a dress code, or life style based on value system. Be modern at the same time never forget to be modest.
- Sense of self esteem
One thing for sure as we all known “A perfect dress makes a perfect look’. It not only makes the individual look smart but also it increases sense of better self-esteem. Everyone should have a sense of self-esteem and self-awareness before deciding to follow any popular trend. Fashion designs primarily exist as a form of creative, artistic expression of the designer. If one ignores this important truth, they would likely be a victim of fashion.
From the perspective of individuality, everyone has his/her own personality, identity, and preference, which leads to diverse world. This diversity will significantly be lost if people follow the same trends and hence choose similar colours and clothing. This life style slowly creeping among young generation today, It is no wonder that young boys and girls imitate the celluloid heroes and heroines and their style of clothing. At time the media influence is so much the children live in the dreamy world and they try to do the same with life too, imitating false values in life, eve-teasing and assaults on girls even going to the extent of forgetting culture and values. Every boy and girl, youth of today must keep in mind all in the name fashion it should not deviate rich culture of one country but rather it should lead them to be better self-esteemed personalities.
- Fashion unpredictable
Fashion today has become part and parcel of human living, which can’t be doing away with life. It keeps changing as per the modern trend and fashion is unpredictable and keeps changing according to the moods, fancies and ideas of the peoples most. Young people spend a lot of time on their makeup. One becomes conscious of one’s being. Fashion also relieves the monotony of a mechanical routine to some extent. The students of today must learn to use this trend in a meaningful way. If they are guided well at the young age in school days they would learn to use and live it well in the future.
- Progress and growth of civilization
Any new change in the society today captures the hearts, minds and attention of the young. Down the ages fashion also reflects progress and growth of civilization. It is the mark of social progress, propriety and change for novelty. Our young generation need to be notified when fashion becomes harmful it turns into obsession then, it means waste of time, energy and money. The children right form young age onwards need to taught the line between fashion and modesty. They must understand how to choose the dress code, living style and how to conduct in common place. As the civilization grows the values slowly being sidelined in the name of new age, let the children not forget fashion should help them to be matured persons.
- Why need to follow…
It is unnecessary for the most people to follow the latest clothing trends in daily life. The only need to prepare several popular clothing for particular occasions, in terms of megastars, however, I believe their career requires them to put emphasis on current clothing trends and they work for business. But youth of today must understand that not necessary to follow them, because it will not suit for real life style. The use discretion is the need of the hour in the wise choice of fashion.
Let the children learn to know in school days itself, how to choose the dress and how to conduct themselves in public places. It is not true that only being modern and wearing fashionable dress would make best personalities it is rather values with modesty would make a young to be better personalities. So let us make the children understand at their young age it is not the dress which makes them fashionable it is good values, best of conduct and with best of dress code makes them fashionable and pleasing personalities.
