With standards for fashion changing at a rapid pace, we see more and more people in society become more inclusive in the trends, Courtney does not go with the crowd and would rather be comfortable in clothes she likes but when it comes to special occasions such as wedding she agrees with society that people should dress appropriately to the dress code. Another student at Roosevelt University, Eric Kron, 23, says, “ I dress for myself all the time, but sometimes when I’m going out I do get social anxiety and shift through my clothes because I cant decide what will look good…I guess that might be because of societies pressures or standards”.

​

       While Eric did seem to say he dresses for himself, he also is pressured when going out with friends to wear fashionable clothing. Vincent Long, 22, has a slightly different opinion than the other two, Vincent is very fashion forward and likes to feel good in nice clothing and even if society’s fashion standards changed, he would still wear noticeable/ nice clothing. “I like fashion and trendy clothes, but they have to appeal to my eye, not everything in fashion is appealing to me but I am open to various styles of clothing”. Fashion is a very opinionated trend , and usually when enough people agree something is “fashionable” then it becomes acceptable in society, if this taboo were to be taken away then maybe social anxiety might decrease, but who is to say what is noticeable clothing or not.
