What's in and out of fashion nowadays

What's in and out of fashion nowadays

Postby Pilar » Thu Feb 15, 2018 1:10 pm

I would like to describe a social behaviour that is considered to be “in” nowadays: the art of collecting likes in Facebook. Many people like to show-off on the net, for instance: to show their abilities practising sports, dancing or even to show how attractive he or she looks wearing a specific outfit or how happy he or she is clubbing with friends, lying on the beach or eating in a famous restaurant. People have the need to feed their egos constantly, the more likes they get the more self-esteem they have. In my opinion, the fact that everything revolves around appearances is very disappointing, and that seems to be the mainstream of our society nowadays.
Another important “in” thing these days is to be fashionable, and that means to follow the latest tendencies regarding clothes, hairstyles and shoes. Influencers and personal shoppers have arisen over the last two years. They are people devoted to know everything about the latest fashion trends and they are willing to give their advice on how to enhance the personal image. In conclusion, nurturing our inner self is something that currently seems to be a little bit “out” of fashion.
