One day my friends and I were talking about clothes and one of them asked, “Where did you get your pants?” They all agreed that expensive brand names were better. I didn’t blame them, they were just chasing trends. It was this question on that day that got me thinking about style. So many people are worried about wearing brand name clothes like Lululemon, or Roots, but is that really style? No, they are trends. Trends are short term and normally very expensive. So then if those are trends, what is style?
Your Dictionary defines style as “to form or arrange something in a particular way.” Style to me is the way you express yourself through clothing. People will always follow trends, but you can have style and not dress like everyone else.
So, where did you get your pants? Were they a thrift find, a family hand me down, or did you buy them new? Maybe you don’t even remember. Are they trendy, are they new? Have you asked yourself whether your new pants were worth the money? Should you be spending that much? Would it be better to get your clothes at a thrift shop? It’s your pick, but next time you think you’re going to buy 80 dollar pants, think about this article.
