Are you green wearing only cotton, silk, wool, and leather? Are you covered with professional sports team logos in a jock motif? Perhaps you're laid back with jeans and tee shirts or you're darth in basic black. Maybe you're a rebel and pick clothes that are intended to shock and assault the senses of the establishment. Whatever it is, you have style and even though you may not be trying to make a statement, however you dress, you do. Fashion and our fashion choices change faster than anything else in society. Yesterday's hippie might be seen lounging in a business suit today. Some people change their style daily depending on their mood when they wake up in the morning. There are fall fashions, winter fashions, spring fashions, and summer fashions. Last year's bell-bottoms and sandals make way for this year's mini-skirts and high heels. Fashions that disappeared 30 years ago come back into style. It is truly amazing that, with bodies that are similar, there are so many different ways to dress them. The way we dress, however, is not the only thing that fashion affects. Hairstyles, cars, our political causes, the technology we use, management styles, our religions, our architecture, the sports and games we play, the personalities that we portray, our and even our speech come into and go out of style. The desire to be viewed as up to date causes us to make these changes. In many cases, it's as if we are dressing for and acting a part in a play or movie. Someone with absolutely no need for a blackberry will carry one around. All of this is partly a result of boredom, more a result of social pressure, and mostly a result of the media. When we get bored and feel like we need to make a change, our fashion or style is the first thing that gets revised. The people we come in contact with are constantly asking us if we saw the new BMWs, have a plasma TV, rap, or heard about the endangered Tasmanian devils. Of course most of us would never hear about these things if it weren't for the media. An entire generation of girls can be heard mimicking Paris Hilton's speech and who doesn't want the rugged unshaven look of Indiana Jones? All of this is, of course, fun and preoccupying, but whatever fashion you choose, make sure it works for you. There's something odd about a 70 year old runway model and a 75 year old man hot-rodding around in a Ferrari with an open shirt underneath a sports coat rolled up at the sleeves. Don't become a fashion victim.
