Im very into fashion. I like keeping up with the trends, and buy certain labels like Diesel and Energie. I think they look good on me. I watch fashion Tv sometimes though and they have some outrageous things on there, designs that I would never want to wear, or see be born. Often I find myself thinking, why would anyone design it, who for? Do people really wear that kind of stuff? So do you keep up with trends no matter how ridiculous they are or are you more of a trendsetter ( meaning you do your own thing and create your own style?

Hi my friend... Nope. It really doesn't matter what the current trend is. I particularly like wearing my own thing... I don't try to create my own style. I just go with what I feel like wearing. I can be very girly or dainty one day and boyish or rugged the next. I don't buy designer stuff not unless it's something that I really like or it's a style that I know would really suit me. Aside from that, brandless clothes are fine with me. Sometimes those clothes are the ones that actually get a lot of attention from other people because it looks good.

I agree. I have lots of brandless clothes and they are gaining a lot of attention from other people.

well, i really am not so into the fashion fad thing! i buy skinny jeans that are currently "in" but doesnt really stop me from wearing bell bottom at times too! i try to mix and match new and old fashion and feel confident with it. for me, sticking to fashion and really stick to it is boring. we wear what's being said by fashion magazines that are in because we dont want to be out of place. for us to "fit in" so what i do is, thought i wear "in" stuffs and clothes at time, i dont limit myself to it and give a touch of "me" to what i wear. it's not really the clothes or the accessories that makes you look good, but rather, how you project yourself and how confident you are with what you're wearing. that's for me!

like to look fashionable but mostly wear things I like to wear and that I look good in. There are just too many trends going on right now that I just don't care for so I like to march to the beat of my own drum.

hi..i used to be a fashion icon in the office and setting trends..And I would really laugh when in a few days my office mates would be wearing the same trend....That was when i was still single and have plenty of money to buy those branded and signature clothes... When I got married and had kids, fashion has to take the backseat. Of course, money is so precious these days and i would really have to think it over many times before buying expensive things.. Nowadays, I buy what i like and what suits me the most,BUT,inexpensive and yet with quality. I only buy clothes when it's necessary like when the old ones really looks old or worn out..I only really spend more with undies. I want those branded ones because it means that I would be using it for a long time, and it really does last a long time...

I am very simple and use to wear simple clothing. It do not mean that I am against fashion of the day. When I see guys and girls in lovely outfits I really appreciate finding them handsome and lovely. It is a personal craze towards fashion. But I use to wear most comfortable cloths it cherish me and I love it. How do you feel please comment.

I buy what I like, what i think I look good in, and what fits correctly. I am a full size gal, so you have to be choosier with what you wear. Todays fashions arent necessarily made with the big chicks in mind.

having our own style of living really matters to me a lot n also for us to get denoted by other. i always look to it that whatever i purchase should attract me n when i wear it should attract others. i really want to look much better wherever i go , i want to get noticed by all my friends n relatives as its a passion for me n also adds to ur dignity. its not that i wanted to be very fashionable, i like decency n i would prefer decent clothings , n also other wears but at the same time i look to it they have to fulfill my likes too.

Everyone has their prestigious. They like to follow the trends not only in fashion but hopely can be anything that have relation with their daily life. I also want to have my own sytle or follow the trend. But not all trend I will follow, I will choose the trend that look good for me. I think their job is design a cloth with as attractive they could. Every people has their own apetite. I don't like the ridiculous fashion or strange fashion. But other people will think differently, they think they will look very good and famous, if they were something that very different with usually.

I don't bother much about fashion at all. I'm not too particular about the clothes i buy or the clothes i wear. You should see me when i go shopping for clothes. I don't bother to go about browsing the stores much if i see something that looks pretty decent i just pick it up, try out the size if it fits on properly and buy it straight away as long as its in my budget. I never keep track of the new patterns or designs that come out. Also i don't buy too many clothes just the amount that is required. When i go out with gals for shopping i literally go mad they just don't settle for anything. and i tell them first only please don't ask me if anything looks good as you'll would never take my opinion Lolzzz...

Hi, skenthal, as for me I usually buy and wear what I like, no matter if it follows fashion trend or not. I like when people dressed nicely, but for my opinion it depends more on persons taste and style feeling than on some common trends in fashion. It's more important for me that things come together well than by what label they produced. I would pay more attention to a lable when speaking about outdoor equipment - jacket or boots for example, but then it's more about quality, not fashion itself.

I have two opinions on this......First, Yes,fashion matters to me and a lot, it is so nice to go out and buy new stuff just like the stuff you see on tv and even better when you get complimented on it,I mean, it´s great when someone tells you you look good,but think about it, has anyone ever looked good with items out of style, no never!!!! And I think thta new fashions are created to benefit you and make you look better!.Second,,,,yes,,,some trends and fashions are nice but not for everybody, so maybe even if its in style but you´re too old for it or it simple isn´t you, then NO,dont get it.

I just buy stuffs that I like, something that would look good on me. I usually splurge on clothes, flip flops and bags. Those are the basic things I use on a daily basis.

Hi skenthal I am neither a trend setter nor a fashion follower. I wear whatever I feel comfortable in and whatever I think suits me!

Particulary, I just like to buy what fits on my own style, but that's comfortable to me also. I don't really mind about labels and so, 'cause these "labeled" clothes are really expensive for me. I just make my own style.. It's better for me and for my pocket, if you know what I mean. ^^
