Here we will study and learn about:
1. The Types of Fashion
3. Stylish Trendy and Fashionable Clothing Designs
Generally, fashion is divided by garment manufacturers into three categories as following:
1) Haute couture: Until the 1950s, most of the fashion clothing was specially designed and manufactured on a made-to-order, made-to-measure or haute couture basis. At that time each and every dress/ suit was created for a specific and individual customer. Examples such as Fashion Designer-Made, Tailor-Made and Custom-Made. However, those dresses/suits were very expensive but they were very important from the point of view of chic style, high-end quality, status and publicity.
2) Ready-to-wear: These types of clothes are like a cross between the haute couture and the mass market. Ready-to-wear clothes are not created for specific and individual customers but these clothes are exclusively and authentically made in small quantities with extra care, choice, artwork and cut of the fabric, so they are comparatively very expensive. For example Winter Collection, Summer Collection, Spring Collection etc.
3) Mass Market: Nowadays, the fashion industry is mostly dependent on mass-market sales. Today mass markets are catering for the widest range of the latest, stylish, trendy, hand-made, hand-tailored, machine-made clothing to customers across the globe. They are continuously producing readymade and ready-to-wear garments according to fashion trends set by well-known fashion names. They are using cheaper fabric materials, simpler modern production techniques, manual machines, digital and automatic machines in order to decrease the cost of their garments. So that they can sell their garments at even cheaper prices in the market across the globe.
Along with time, these categories had been split into additional various types of fashion styles. We will discuss them in detail in our forthcoming blog Post.
Fashion Trends mean a particular style or expression in fashion or clothing or accessories or entertainment which becomes very popular or hugely viral among people in society across the globe during a particular time or period. We can say it is a general direction or tendency or development or change in a scenario that people are liking and behaving accordingly. For a better understanding of the concept of fashion trends, we can take these few examples like the style of jeans, bell bottoms etc. Further, we can also include it in some distinct and extraordinary shell fashion jewellery, bamboo fashion bags, oversized fashion hats, embellished fashion belts, tie-dye, print patterns, sequins, fringes and puffed sleeves etc.
Further, fashion trends are like physical looks, appearances or expressions of trends and they are generally based on social-cultural influences, mostly by means of visual and haptic characteristics applied to fashion clothing, garments, apparel and accessories.
Fashion trends play a very important role in today's fashion world because it allows fashion industries, brands, designers or businesses to break the boundaries of the market. It encourages the fashion industries, brands, designers as well as businesses to put forward new ideas, concepts and opportunities. As a result of this, they can communicate their values in a proper and diverse manner.
The setting of a fashion trend means to do something that becomes popular, hugely accepted or fashionable, and copied by most of the other people in society across the globe. There are various variables that impact fashion trends in the extreme, for example, films, actors, actresses, celebrities, fashion advertisements, fashion magazines, fashion designers, fashion models, fashion bloggers, leaders, personalities, season, climate, customs, traditions, cultures, social, political, technical and economic influences etc. Most fashion experts assume that the trend's lifespan is very long.

Normally, fashion trends are spread or get viral by people. Everybody plays a very important role in this activity of making an idea and converting that idea into a reality. On the other hand, Innovators bring an idea to life, thereafter early adopters also have a significant influence on it. Thus this trend becomes a reality in society.
Fashion trends are basically divided into three parts as follows:
1) Long-Term Fashion Trend
2) Intermediate Fashion Trend
3) Short-Term Fashion Trends

Now the question arrives in our mind who sets these fashion trends? Actually, the people who are the most responsible for deciding what is actually trending are known as trend forecasters. They mainly pay attention to two particular points or types of fashion trends i.e. macro trends and micro trends.
Actually, fashion trends are a little slower-paced but represent it occurring on a very high scale. Isn't this surprising!
1) Macro Trends: A macro trend's age is typically from five to ten years. Here, the adoption of social media by us can be considered one of the best examples of previous global macro trends.
2) Micro Trends: A micro trend's age is typically from three to five years. Microtrends refer a smaller change in consumer behaviour which is changing business scenarios in a short-term period.

Fashion trends are very important because they provide us new ways, of learning, know-how, tools, events and opportunities in order to experiment with a lot of new things in our day-to-day life and helps generate new ideas, concepts and perception.
On the other hand, along with a lot of good and positive impacts of fashion trends, there are some negative impacts of fashion trends on some young minds has been seen and experienced by some fashion experts such as Extreme or Keen Competition, Guilt, Addiction, Workload, Work Pressure, Low Self-Esteem, Mental Illness and Copying Others etc.
As people start copying and adapting new things, those things become very popular, get viral or spread by people so fast and this activity converts into a mass fashion trend in society.
