Hello. My name is Mary. I'm crazy about fashion and I want to share with you article about difference between fashion and style. And want to add in advance - fashion is much more expensive, and I needed finance help in college to follow the trends.

So, fashion (from the French word mode and from the Latin modus - measure, the way, the image, a rule, a prescription): impetuous, windy, as a young girl in search of her one and only betrothed.

Fashion is changeable, fickle, but it is a kind of impulse to live the newness, to search and creativity. Fashion - a change of shapes and forms, its, even if temporary, but dominance in a certain period of time.

The expression to be dressed in the fashion (in French à la mode) originated in the 17th century, when the French court fashion has become a model for Europe. The exact time of the appearance of fashion historians have not found, and different countries continue to argue about where it was born the concept of fashion itself. Most still lean towards France.

No wonder they say that the success of any fashion designer depends on its ability to catch the mood of society. Dictate fashion in the first place is the mood of society, its dreams, ideals and desires in a particular period of time. Remember, any success was the fashion house Christian Dior after the war? Because society is hungry for beauty and femininity. And Dior caught this mood.

Many factors dictate fashion, for example, the ideals of the female body and beauty standards. Clothing that emphasizes these ideals, it becomes fashionable, it begin to massively wearing, it becomes popular. For example, if an excessive fashion women's thinness, it becomes fashionable tight clothing. If the fashion feminine curves, fashion styles are different. Fashion also dictates the morality of society. Ultimately, fashion - is a kind of mirror reflecting society.

Fashion dictates a desire to imitate someone authoritative and take their place in society, where we evaluate by clothes as well.

Some sociologists and philosophers such as Georg Zimmel, studied fashion in terms of a social phenomenon. In particular Zimmel believed that fashion is a human desire to avoid social inequality. For example, in primitive society there was fashion in the form in which we know it now, and the degree of division of people into higher and lower classes was low. Later, in class society, fashions had the right to wear only the elite. By law, no one had the right to imitate them. For example, it was in fashion jewelry and furs, and the merchants had the means to acquire these things, but they were not allowed to wear them. These things were only nobles and priests. Later these restrictions were abolished, and that's when the lower classes began in full follow the fashion, so that at least superficially to be similar to the elite. Zimmel believed that it was after the destruction of taboos high society now permanently forced to invent a new fashion, to stand out from the crowd. Such a scientific point of view.

Fashion, as is known, is repeated and returns in  decades. Language of fashion can be mastered and learned, studying fashion trends and seasonal collections, reading magazines, watching the work of designers from year to year. Fashion helps develop the taste, experiment, look at all the variety that is right for you. With the world of fashion, you can develop a sense of beauty, and has sharpened the taste will decide with their own style.

It is no secret that with the style is a little more complicated. After all, what style? The first style - it is a conscious choice. And to make an independent choice is often much more difficult than to follow the mass fashion. Style - a way to choose among a large number of possibilities is what is consonant with the internal state and outlook. The style reflects the way we see ourselves. Style - is the perception of myself, and it concerns not only clothes, but also our behavior, our reactions, our life as a whole. Being stylish is fashionable at all times.

If fashion expresses the worldview of someone else, the style - it is a way of self-expression, personal handwriting touch to your portrait. Style - this is your story about yourself outside world by means of clothes, manners, behavior. Style - is what distinguishes you from the other person. This skilful and accurate underline its uniqueness expressed in the external manifestations. Style - a sense of self and the manifestation of personality through appearance. No wonder they say that the fashion in clothing and style - in the person who wears it.

The style is made up of many factors, as the basis of style it is important to take the features of your personality, so it looks harmonious. Style form clothes, manners, lifestyle, age, human tastes and more.

Style - the value is much more stable than fashion. Of course, people change throughout life, but much less rapidly than the changing fashion trends.

The exact dictionary explanation of the concept of style is as follows: "The style - it is a historically constituted, stable community with respect to signs of imagery, tools and techniques of artistic expression, due to the unity of the ideological content of art. This community appears simultaneously in all the arts (architecture, literature, painting, etc.), as well as costume, objects of labor and life in and out of the economic, political and psychological life of the community. "

Find your style - it means to find harmony between inner and outer, is expressed by means of clothes, and more.

What helps you find your own unique style? First of all, the study itself, listening for his inner self, his ideals, character.

Fashion can complement your style, make it more versatile.

Style is usually dictated by personal taste, character, age, the era of the life of society, ethnicity, lifestyle, religious affiliation, individual characteristics, social status. The style is different from the image, because the image still associated more with the profession and some mask, that is, the person who creates the image, mostly focused on what to feed themselves properly (as required by the profession, communication, etc.) . And style comes from within. Although the style of play in the creation of the image is not the last role.

Style has its own unspoken rules, lighthouses, landmarks that help to see the inner and outer look, whether there are in your way of aesthetic unity, which is expressed in the general idea and handwriting:

• Whether in the image proportions complied?
• Whether combined components of the image of each other?
• Matching outfits, hairstyles, accessories, makeup and setting time
• Is a sense of proportion in the image observed?
• Style carries information about the person - check with your inner self: this is what you want to convey?
