changes i have seen due to fashion trends in myself |
|---|
As a simple person I haven't been heavily influenced by fashion trends in terms of my personal style. However I have made a few changes over time to keep up with evolving trends. for instance i have experimented with different hairstyles and colors to stay current with the latest fashion trends.
Additionally I have started wearing Pathan clothes which are traditional clothes worn by people from the Pathan community in Pakistan. These clothes are usually made from light breathable fabrics & feature loose-fitting designs that are comfortable to wear in warm weather . they also have unique Embroidery & embellishments that make them stand out from other types of clothing.
By wearing Pathan clothes I am able to stay connected to my cultural roots while also embracing current fashion trends. I believe that personal style is about finding a balance between tradition & innovation and Pathan clothes allow me to achieve this balance . They are timeless pieces that have been worn for generations yet they are also versatile enough to be adapted to modern styles & preferences.
Ultimately I try to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable & confident while also reflecting my cultural heritage and personal values . By incorporating small changes like changing my hairstyle and embracing traditional clothing I am able to stay true to my simple style while also staying current with fashion trends.

@hamzayousafzai amazing post! It's fascinating to look into how fashion trends affect society and how they might affect Pakistan's fashion industry in the future. The fashion industry in Pakistan faces unique challenges, including exploitation of workers, a lack of diversity, and environmental sustainability, which must be addressed.

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback 😊
It is always good to support and appreciate each other and the efforts that one makes in producing good work.
As for high heels, I think it's great that women are embracing more comfortable footwear options. However, I don't think high heels will disappear entirely, but rather, they may need to evolve to become more comfortable and practical for everyday wear. Overall, it's an exciting time for the fashion industry, and I look forward to seeing how it continues to evolve in the future.
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback
I am indeed happy you are shared your idea. It is really bad to know how women are subjected under low wage and most times child labor all to gratify the quest of fashion. I am also glad digital technology would be embraced by your country in boosting e commerce and developing the economy of your country. Fashion indeed aided you so much at least you can boast of creativity in general, providing employment and most developing you self expressions. Success in the challenge #steem-on
