    Sociological Aspects of Fashion

    Fashion is an inseparable part of daily life that people meticulously follow trends in clothing, food, behavior and more. While hard to precisely define, fashion is academically defined as an irrational social mechanism that exists under the rule of constant change for change's sake. Fundamental principles of fashion include striving to make trends lose popularity quickly, being inconstant by nature, and ending when a trend becomes too widespread, with new seasons and phases of fashion taking over. Sociological perspectives view fashion as providing a way for individuals to express themselves, with elites governing trends that then circulate down through lower classes.

    Sociological aspects of fashion

    Lizzka
    For a start, in our highly hectic and contemporary world, such a
    curious phenomenon as fashion has managed to become an
    inseparable part of our human's daily routine. It has been gradually,
    but steadily and unavoidably implemented religiously in every sphere

    Fashion how it is
    of our life: we tend to meticulously observe and follow all the most
    advanced tendencies in our clothes, nourishment, behaviour, way of
    studying or working and so on and so forth.
    However, hardly anyone could define their understanding of fashion in
    precise and straightforward words. Moreover, contemplate it from a
    scientific point of view.
    And that's exactly what I am going to take a closer look at now.

    First and foremost, how do we academically
    define fashion?
    Exists under the rule "change for the sake of
    Fashion is irrational by nature change."

    Social mechanism Irrational Change

    Circularity Current fashion

    Its root trait is circularity. Current fashion: advertisement with some


    severe art ambitions

    Fundamental principles
    of fashion
    • Fashion itself strives to make its object lose the
    trendiness as soon as possible.
    • Inconstant by its core.
    • When it becomes widespread to a certain extent –
    it ends, and the new generation of fashionable
    things takes over.
    • Recent fashion is mostly seasonal: it can be divided
    into autumn/winter and spring/summer phases.

    Why do we follow fashion so closely?
    POSITIVE NEGATIVE
     We tend to imitate the newest  On the other hand, we are deeply
    fashionable customs, which, subjected to the social pressure of

    George Simmel’s Perspective
    • Fashion provides people with a theoretical
    possibility to assert themselves and display their
    individuality, in particular.
    • The elite governs fashion.
    • Eventually, the conception, called "Tickle-down" –
    lower strata endlessly tries to do an impression of
    the upper-class fashion tendencies. High class, in
    turn, fiercely guards their uniqueness, therefore,
    changes their manner of style when it becomes
    too over popular – this is how the circulation of
    fashion works.

    Fashion is a collective
    groping for the expected
    future – both lower and
    higher classes play equal
    roles in forming fashion
    trades.

    Another evenly recognized attitude to


    fashion.
