Fashion is a word that itself has many hidden aspects. People follow fashion due to various reasons depending on their life style, personality and way of expressing themselves. Some adopt being fashionable as their profession. It is observed that most of the young girls are obsessed with fashion and spend a lot of money on fashion accessories. Let us discuss the reasons which make following fashion extremely important.
To prove your identity:
Following fashion is important to express your identity. When you are young, you want to express yourself in front of others and to prove your identity. Most of the girls assume this is only possible by following the latest fashion trends. They express their thoughts and lifestyle by following certain fashion trends. A persons dressing also expresses his way of living which is a part of his identity.

To be confident:
Fashion does not mean to wear something that is worn by the supermodels. You can combine your clothes according to your own opinion and create a unique style. This gives you confidence and arrogance. Women who are not dressed well also face problems of communicating with people due to lack of confidence. Dressing pretty and stylish satisfies your soul and you communicate with others professionally and confidently.
To impress others:
In these times of emerging fashion trendsit is required to make contacts with others. People who dress well and follow fashion and latest styles are more noticedthan those who do not care about their clothes and styling. This shows that they are least concerned about their appearance. People are impressed by those who have their own unique style.
To make successful careers:
Making a successful career is also a reason for following fashion. It is not necessary to wear some designer clothes but in every field there are some fashion trends that you must follow. Interviews are more successful if you are dressed in fashionable, elegant and stylish clothes.
Teens are very self-conscious as they develop and mature into young adults. Their taste in fashion is ever changing. What is considered popular or hot now might become passé next month.
o Teens are susceptible to the media as they are still trying on different identities. Movies, TV shows, music and celebrities all influence a teen's choice in fashion.
o There are far more magazines devoted to teen girls' fashion than teen boys'. Magazines about video games, sports or computers are more popular among teen boys. Magazines such as YM, Seventeen, Teen People, CosmoGIRL, Teen Vogue and ELLE Girl give you a glimpse into what trends are currently popular with teen girls.
o Clothing is one of the top purchases teen girls make. They might not be able to afford designer clothing such as Chanel or Prada on their own, but fashion-conscious teen girls are well aware of those brand names.
