Has Fashion Gone Too Far??!!

Hay, I went shopping with my mum to get me clothes for my birthday, and I look at the styles and they're horrible - first see clothes from the eighty's - fluro shirts which are 10 times peoples size with huge letters - then we walk into another store which had shirts which showed most of gurls breasts - I only managed to get one shirt and one skirt and that was all - 3 hours and that was pretty much all we found

So my debate today is

Has Fashion Taken It OTT??!!!

 

No, I think it's just where you live? I have seen cool clothes where I live but also some people prefer different tastes to other people so I guess it could just be you.

 

It varies in the same way that different people's taste varies. Some people like the flashy loud clothes, whilst others prefer more formal wear, then there are casuals etc etc so on so forth.

The only way that fashion has gone too far is in the fact that you can now buy mini skirts and tiny tops for like 5 year olds. To me that is fashion taking it too far.

Variety is a part of life and you wont always like everything you see when clothes shopping xD but with 6billion people in the world it isn't as if the fashion industries can appeal to everyone's taste.

:P​

 

Yes, I think fashion is WAAAAY OTT.


It's not just about being trendy anymore. If anything, I think fashion screams, "Omg boys, liek, look! Look how big my boobies are! Don't you just wanna touch 'em? ;)" Same thing with guys...except their case is a bit different. I'm pretty sure trying to look like you're ready for a good night of sex is better than comfort, for most fashion freaks. If people keep it up, shorts and skirts will be up to the cracks of our asses. Yeah...that's kinda wrong.

Fashion = fail.

 

I remember going shopping with mother for summer clothes and being disgusted with how short the shorts are. Granted I did start wearing the camis since they were comfortable and easy to manage. But I wore them with loose capris.

To me Comfort > Fashion. I'd rather look good and still be comfortable than be uncomfortable and be fashionable. I don't think girls have the thought that they can still be covered up and be sexy. Heck, I've been complimented wearing oversized t-shirts and jeans.

Fashion is too over the top these days.

 

OMG. I have a shirt just like that [sans the '10 times people size' thing...] it's so very awesome. n___n It says 'last night a DJ saved my life'.. heh. Though I'd love a 'Frankie says relax' one. Anyways...

As for revealing clothes.. well, if people want to dress like ****s then that's their prerogative. And I think you're about 40 years too late to be complaining about short skirts/shorts, since minis became popular in the 1960s.

 

Hmm, about now, going to the mall, I can say I saw a variety of different sorts of clothes. Some were drab and plain, some were short etc, and some were goth/punk, while others were casual drab again, and some good office sorts of clothes.

I will say that really I think if anything, fashion is expanding in a way even if I am not crazy about some of the casual boring stuff out now. I don't like bright colors but also am just not into plaid or corduroy at all. I admit to having a thing more for darker clothes but even some of those fashions have been boring, or they are too obnoxious for me to bother with. It seems there's more of a variety though of clothes you can choose to wear based on what 'stereotype' you want to fit in. I tend to not believe in stereotype so I mix and match stuff how I feel like it.

I think fashion goes to extremes in ways, sure, but if there was not as much diversity, clothes would just be things you put on and don't think about. (Not that I don't do that any way cuz all I buy often are weird saying T-shirts and baggy pants). There are definitely things I would not let touch my flesh that is out now, but other stuff is alright.

 

Well in my opinion its not over the top as long as it needs to cover the necessary parts...aka doesn't lead to what is termed "indecent exposure"....though I would appreciate if "fashionable people" could wear pants that did the other function of what qualifies pants- which is covering your rear. As much as I love seeing the turd-slicer (thong) and cotton-rump Everests (boxers) each time the person in front of me sits down or bends in any direction, there is a time to draw the line. But that is my personal opinion.

Now as for the "being over the top" part of fashion, its the ridiculous price inflation of clothing I have the most problems with. Simple t-shirts cost 10-20 even 30 dollars is not logical at all.

 

It's really a matter of taste. Granted some of it looks ridiculous at times but if you're buying it you obviously enjoy the prospect of wearing it.

 

They're all types of styles. People's own taste.
Some people like comfort, baggy shirt and jeans, some like to look...'fashionable' as some would call it, mini-skirt tank top and leggings, some like to look 'scene', skinny jeans long top.

It's all just people's own taste.
obviously it isn't yours.
So I say no.

 

Whenever people are willing to pay 20 dollars to put on that, something has got to have gone wrong.

 

It's not the fashion itself that has gone too far; that will always be the same. It is the people who have taken fashion too far. It sickens me when somebody who wears a perfectly presentable outfit is deemed uncool becuase it lacks a seagull. Don't get me wrong, I'll admit I have a few clothes from Hollister in my drawer, but I don't think that people who don't wear it are uncool. It saddens me when people say the only way you can be beautiful is if you wear brand name clothes. That is the problem: The people who wear the fashionable clothes, not the clothes themselves.
​

 

Well people get their fashion inspiration from seing things. Maybe the designer wanted to relive the 80's. Maybe in the future we will be wearing 70's dresses.

 

Yeah, I do agree I think it's rather funny that someone would pay 20+ bucks for a crummy T-shirt that would cost 10 bucks if it didn't have some fashion logo on it. I always have bought clothes for the actual style and comfort rather than brand names and at one point people tried to make fun of me for it and I laughed and said "I'm comfortable and I bet this shirt and that shirt rip just as easily, bleed out colors in the wash the same and this one has style to it where as that has a crappy logo that will be out of fashion in 4 months where as this may be fine for a good few years." They stopped mentioning it. I think mostly for guys we hear it for shoes of all things. If we aren't wearing some 150+ dollar sneakers, zomg we are cheap.

I think you sum it up nicely by saying the people who wear the fashionable clothes are the issue; not the clothes themselves. If people make a big deal about something, they do. We buy the clothes and shouldn't push 'style' on others.
