Here we are to decode for you certain aspects of the online fashion hub. Just like on Instagram we brought to you the ‘expectations vs reality’ side of the online fashion hub.
Expectation: You are a fashionista. Being fashion forward gives you an indescribable amount of confidence. You are well aware and updated about all the latest trends revolving around fashion. You are deeply inspired by these new trends in fashion and try to inculcate them into your style statement. This fashion knowledge enables you to shop for all the latest styles and revamp your wardrobe. You breathe in new life in your closet. You adorn yourself with ensembles that make heads turn. You expect and hope this new fashion will bring newness to your look and wardrobe.
Reality: And that is when reality hits you. As much as you are excited about incorporating the current fashion trends into your outfits, you start missing the old fashion. We attribute this to various factors. Firstly, old fashion was comfortable. It was all about cotton or silk but nowadays, a lot of other attractive but uncomfortable fabrics are being used. Secondly, old fashion was handy and accessible by all. The colors and patterns were simple and not as complicated as they are nowadays. You start missing the simplicity of the old fashion and you start missing your old self.
Expectation: You dress up as your best self and your favorite person compliments you. Won’t your day be made? You can’t deny the fact that you sometimes dress up to draw people’s attention. It feels so nice to be the center of attraction and the talk of the party. You are very fashionable, well dressed and always presentable. You have worked a lot on yourself and the way you dress. You have done a lot of research and have come up with a fresh style statement for yourself. And you expect everyone around you will notice you and will appreciate your sense of fashion. You feel like everyone around you is staring at you and admiring your gorgeous attire. It is like you are the sun and all other planets revolve around you.
Reality: But, however bitter it may be, the truth is that no one has the time to notice your transformation and sense of fashion. You take great care in choosing the right outfit for the occasion. You take difficulty choosing the appropriate accessories and shoes for the same. But no one really cares about whether you are wearing the right color combinations or the right outfit for the affair. People have a lot of other things that demand their attention and time. Fashion, however significant it may be to us, may not be the same to others. In reality, in their busy lives, people neither have the time nor the energy to look at other people’s outfits. And this is not a bad thing. The only thing that matters is that you should feel good and confident in your clothes.
Expectation: Price acts as a measure of a product’s quality. High prices equal high quality and low prices equals low quality. In the same way, people tend to think that fashion with good quality, be it clothes, accessories, shoes, or make-up, demands a high price. And we equate low price with low quality. Some renowned brands, despite their high prices, attract customers for their high quality. And some brands with relatively lower prices with the same quality attract fewer customers. We blindly believed that a high-priced product is a one-time investment and will last for a long time. And people are willing to pay whatever it takes to be stylish and in line with the latest trends.
Reality: But later you realize some fashion is unnecessarily over-priced. High investment in a gorgeous saree or a statement necklace that is to be worn only once is inessential. Empirical research has shown that prices are not indicators of quality. Some fashion items are not at all worth the price they are sold at. You may find a better alternative to the same piece at a lower cost somewhere else. Don’t be pulled away by any posh or well-known brand name. There are several less-known brands that offer fashion goodies at affordable prices without sacrificing the good quality of their products. One such brand is the Maharani which offers exquisite shoes, accessories, and handbags at affordable prices.
That was our today’s dose of fashion knowledge. We bring down the curtains here. See you later!
