An Advertisement Bombshell

There are a lot of different styles of clothing out there. The typical trendy brands worn by my generation are American Eagle, Loft, Aeropostale, Gap, New York & Company, Banana Republic, A.N.A., and tons more.
Everyone typically has their own “style” of clothing. My personal style is cute, yet comfortable. I never place my looks over my comfort, so I can guarantee to you that you will not see me walking in heels.

Aside from the fact that I’m a complete klutz and can barely walk straight in flip flops.

I do like to wear nice clothes though. Everyone occasionally has those days where sweatpants, a baggy T-shirt and a sloppy ponytail are as good as it’s going to get and I’m surely no exception, but for the most part I like to look nice.

When building your personal wardrobe, how do you generally find the styles that you’d like to try? There are two ways people can base their wardrobe off what they see. Without actually going to the mall, you can easily build yourself a mental wardrobe by simply looking around at the people around you.

For example when I came to college most of my clothes were cute, but they were a few years old. When you get to college, you want new, fresh clothes right? But I’ve always been a super picky shopper; I had no idea what I would want to buy. So I started looking around at my peers.

I found myself taking inventory of the styles that I liked, the accessories I found cute, the layers of shirts or skirt patterns, differences in jewelry by metal, shape, size, weight, and then the shoes… Let’s not get started on shoes.

All in all, I was able to go shopping without going to the mall and I was looking at others outfits with the idea that because they wore it, it would be cute on me. Therefore, I base my wardrobe choices on my peers at college.

And what is the second way people create their wardrobe without going to the mall? You guessed it: media.

Hollywood is the epitome of projecting an image of flawless perfection, and the styles of clothing are no exception. The hundreds of actors and actresses are often shown in commercials, films, TV shows, interviews, the Red Carpet, and all the rest of the required famous people events, and what do interviewers and fans ask them?

What are you wearing? What company is it from? Who designed it?

Hollywood is a massive advertisement bombshell for numerous ideas and beliefs, and clothing affects people just as much as any content. Age makes no difference; people around the world look to their idols, the mere men and women who can decently fake an accent, and try to imitate them in attitude and in style.

Don’t get me wrong; I love many an actor, especially the ones who can pull off a British accent. Okay, I have a soft spot for any accent. And I have grown to love admiring people’s clothing.

But it is legitimate to say that the idols of Hollywood make a huge impact on people today.
