common hobby nowadays, especially for young people. Although this issue may have certain benefits, to me it is still a negative development.
To begin with, there are some
reasons why people, especially youngsters, are influenced by the latest fashion and hairstyle trends. Firstly, whenever they update the trend, they can impress others and show off their wealth. Secondly, no doubt, because of social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. When someone is planning to share their new picture on social media, they would want their outfits and hairstyle to look different from the previous photographs. And if their photograph becomes a phenomenon and people in social media like it, it would give them some kind of personal satisfaction and happiness.
Yet, there are more disadvantages
than advantages of this phenomenon. Firstly, people may take more time to research and update the newest trends. Then they will waste money on buying new clothes while these trendy outfits are often extremely expensive. Fashion changes so fast nowadays, so people who are crazy about fashion can just buy the newest trends while they don’t care about the usage and suitability of the clothes.This is very wasteful and costly. As a result, the environment may be more polluted because of their action. Secondly, following latest trend may distract people from studying and working. For people who have another concern, they wouldn't able to follow the trend. Finally, following the newest wrinkle can lead people to lose their personal identify. For instance, teenagers nowadays often would like to dress the same as their idols or fictional characters so that they will not have their own style, they cannot be unique, they are just the same as other people. They lose their personal identity.
In conclusion, people should
harmonize the demand for following the latest trends and know what they really need.
