Do you always follow fashion? Why or why not?

Is it a must for you to follow what's new at all times. Of course who would like to be so late in fashion. People will mock at you if you were dressing like an 80's today. But what I am trying to ask you is, is it important to you to follow fashion at all times. Personally I don't really follow what's in if I find out that it's not appropriate for my personality, I only follow those appropriate for me and which I can also afford.And it's not a must for me to be in at all times. How about you? Do you follow fashion at all times? Why or why not?

First of all, I'm kind of thankful that no matter what you wear these days, you're still "in" if you look good in what you are wearing. As you can see, outfits from the 80's and 70's have made a comeback, as well as past fashion pieces. So as long as I look good in what I'm wearing, I'll stick to it and not follow what most of the people are wearing. The outfits that most women wear these days cater to the "thin" type, but I don't belong to that category so I'll wear what suits me best.

Yes I do agree with you because when I was slimmer I find it easier to buy clothes than today.

Today's fashions? No way!! I am not at all turned on by what some of these people are almost wearing. To be honest, I am very conservative when it comes to my clothing. Thankfully a lot of styles don't go out of style. If they did, I would just have to be out of style instead of exposing body parts that are nobody's business. Someone please call the fashion police.

I am an individual and have rarely gone with the fashion trends unless I really like something. I remember when I was about ten or twelve 'angel' blouses were popular and I got my mom to buy me one. I loved it! I always wants to wear the fancy unskirts too but my grandmother wouldn't let me. There have been afew things I like.

I used to follow fashion trends when I was younger but these days although I still like to look nice I prefer to be comfortable in whatever I am wearing so fashion doesn’t come into when I‘m choosing what to wear. I love denim skirts, jeans and t shirts and that is what I mainly live in. Working from home has its advantages...

Of course we don't follow the latest or the most popular fashion blindly. The way we dress, the hair style we trimmed and so on should be the most comfortable, neat and presentable for us in our daily living. The most popular, the latest fashion and style at the moment, do not mean good and suitable to everyone.

i don't follow fashion at all. it doesn't matter to me what's in and what's not. i only wear clothes that i feel comfortable in. if people mock at me, let them be. mocking doesn't hurt me a single bit. however, having to wear uncomfortable clothes all day certainly will hurt me. i do dress to the occasion though. i'd love to wear jeans to work but sadly i can't. so i wear pants to work most of the time.

Not so much any more. I work at home so there is not a whole lot of reasoning for me to go out and spend a lot of money on clothes. I have a couple of nice new things tha I wear if I have something more social to attend but for the most part I wear comfortable clothes because I work all day and I want to be comfortable and no one is going to see me anyways. If there is a special occasion though I will get something nice to wear for it.

Fashion doesn't mean a thing to me. Of course if I go shopping I buy what's available and I suppose they're fashionable; but I have clothes that are several years old that I still wear. If people want to laugh or ridicule me because of what I'm wearing, I'll just have to grin and bear it.

Hi mayrah I follow fashion my own way always have done it! why? I believe certain things fit some people and certain things don't I made my first dress when I was 14 years old. Nothing at the time quite fitted what I liked so I took a course in dress making and I usually make my own clothes I tend to go by the classic look it never goes out of fashion you can dressed it up or dawn, fit it with some fashionable pieces, like neck laces,or belts,a new hand bag, what ever is at the moment. To me being in fashion is to look distinctive, different,unique, what you are, and that will make you the centre of attention!

I am not always follow fashion. What for me is that whatever fit to me I buy it. It's not good to follow and follow what is in even if this is not fit on what we looks

I don't follow fashion very closely. My mother used to tell me I should wear certain things because they were in style. My response was that I really didn't care, and wanted to wear what was comfortable, and what I liked. Now I wear braces on my legs, and can't wear them with straight leg jeans, so if they are all that is sold because they are in fashion, I will be in trouble. That is probably the only way I follow fashion, if they just sell one style and you have no choice!

There are many many people that dress so differently, not just in the clothes that they choose to wear but also the colours they wear. I do like to have a mixture of different coloured clothes and like to have many clothes. I don't buy many now as i have a load, even many that have not yet been worn, yes they may be slightly out of date but they are still new and still look good. I certainly would not wear anything from the 80's or further back. I do like to have some form of style, but to others they may love to dress like that. I normally just buy what i think will suit me, as long as i am happy then that is all that matters.

Oh no. I wear what I feel comfortable in. May be a little here and there, but basically, what I want. Some of the fashion is a yuck...I wouldn't even think of wearing such outfits...

I wear dress according to my character either body shape, fashion clothing, and socializing factor.

i don't follow much either. i used to follow somewhat when i was growing up and in my teens. i wanted to be with the latest fashion. but not now. but i'm not out of fashion either though not always with the latest or newest or the hottest trends. i wear what suits me and that is more important. besides, i've been using branded products almost exclusively for the past many years so i guess that's about enough to put me in the game!

I am really not into fashion trends. I just wear the appropriate clothes for every occasion and I always make sure that I am comfortable with what I am wearing and I am looking clean,smart and presentable. And often times I wear clothes that matches my mood. Thank you.

As long as you are comfortable of what you are wearing there's nothing wrong with choosing the right dress for you. Don't base your fashion statements on what it the common trend in the fashion world. Do not let anyone tell you what to wear and what not to because you are the one who's gonna wear your clothes not them.
