Are you tired of the same old streetstyle on Instagram? Today, I want to talk about this super cool subject – the evolution in street style and fashion choices.
Street style was once synonymous with authenticity and uniqueness. Photographers captured moments on the street that were full of personality. With the rise of social networks, street style has become a “performance”. Have you noticed how many “street shots” actually involve careful planning? Models walk the same route repeatedly to get a “perfect photo”.
This change has slowly made street style lose it’s soul. This is no longer about displaying your personal style. It has become a template which can be copied and bought.
ASOS has a wide range of “copyable street looks” and there are also countless articles on fashion sites that show you how to purchase these items. Street style has become so stereotypical.
This phenomenon reflects the gradual loss of individuality in our society. In today’s globalized society, we are increasingly pursuing uniform standards and ignoring each individual. This trend is reflected in the homogenization of street fashion.
Do we really want to dress as street style stars? It’s probably time to rethink our fashion choices. Fashion isn’t about following trends, but finding your own style, and expressing yourself.
“Fashion is about being yourself, not following the trends.”
