Journal #50 High-vis fashion
[Summary]
High-vis jacket is usually worn for safety by people
like pedestorian and by workers who're
working in the are doing road
maintenance or directing traffic. But now, some people choose to wear them to be on trend. According to Hannah Marriott,
she is the a Fashion Editor of the Guardian
newspaper,
this reason is social media the reason behind this effect is social media.
For example, nowadays Eeveryone
’s is using social media such as Instagram, and are busy all the time scrolling down their mobile screen. Additionally, people want be attractive and get noticed,
scrolling down their Instagram screens at high speed and people want to attract our attention and be noticed, so they wear eye-catching item
s like high-vis jacket. Though these types of fashions looks odd,
Even if their fashions are said as odd, wearing something different creates a talking point.
Therefore, And people are becoming interested in
such kind of fashion and
are accepting these kinds of trends. Hannah points out that there's obviously some thorny class issues there.
It is not a good idea to make a uniform as a fashion item as it could be expensive for this purpose. A uniform that somebody might be wearing who doesn't actually make that much money, but it will be expensive as fashion item. It
is stood out the fact that some can afford clothing for fashion while others can only afford
clothing for work.
[Conclusion]
I suppose growing use of social media, especially in which people can upload their photos, has dramatically influenced the today's fashion. The clothes that were worn by the workers during their work are also worn by general people as a new way of fashion. In today's world drawing other's attention has been an important point. Wearing such clothes just for fun might not harm oneself, but it is a bad habit. I suppose spread of Instagram made grow people's photo technique and awaked their awareness as models. Originally, cloths were work wears and became fashion as the way to express oneself. Now, how can get attention from others has becoming most important point. I think it is easy thinking to wear flashy clothes just for standing out. It’s dangerous habit to decide just looking surface.
