Fashions

Fashions are the style of human behavior. Popular during a usually short period. If during a certain period. People begin to put on bell-bottom trousers wear spectacles with large discs like glasses or keep their hats titled. They are following fashion. The peculiar charm of fashions consists in their instantaneous popularization and their quick fading into oblivion. They are born quickly and they die quickly. Why nobody knows for sure. Fashions perhaps originate in man’s age-old wish to look distinct and attractive. Naturally, they are more popular with women. It is said that the chameleon does not change its color as quickly as a woman wears out a new fashion. But men too are not innocent in this matter. It is they who desire to see that women are in fashion. Indirectly therefore men are responsible for women’s fashions. This means that the psychology of fashions is twofold. People want to be individualistic and to be acceptable to the opposite sex. Let us look at the popularity of fashion from another point of view. They are popular with the youth. Because in young people the urge to show themselves off is the strangest. Children are too small to be conscious of the thrill that fashion creates white the aged are too old to pay any serious thought to it. The young on the other hand find life enjoyable and want to enjoy it more by adding to its colorfulness. They adopt all sorts of devices to look different. Fashions are popular in cities rather than among backward villagers who cannot afford to indulge in such luxuries. On the other hand, the rich level and advanced city people are tempted to luxuriate in fashions that have a glamour of their own. Fashions can pertain to any aspect of human behavior to walk limping after Bryon smoking a particular brand of cigarettes or reading a particular type of novel. But the most popular fashions are those that can relate to dress. Apparel proclaims the mom said Shakespeare and the world has taken Shakespeare too seriously. Thus we observe that man’s pants change in size and shape every six months and their shirts every four months that women’s petticoats change in design every four months that women's petticoats change in design every two months and their shirts shrink or grow every fortnight. It is to be noted that it is the west that is the home of fashions. We in the east only copy of our western overloads. To come to the moral point fashions reflect the character of a nation. Western fashions represent a culture devoid of any moral values. Similarly, fashions prevailing in various countries amongst various races or tribes give us a clear idea of their respective ways of living. What are the uses of fashions mainly they create a colorful variety in life and add to the culture of a country. Their demerits are that they usually imply a waste of money and time and often lead to immorality. We the Muslims of Pakistan should pay heads to two things.
