Women often keep up with fashion a lot
more than men - looking at the latest trends and what will flatter their
figure. Women will buy fashion magazines to browse through the latest season of
clothing, and fashionistas keeping an eye on the runways so they can be the
first to wear the latest styles. However, many men don't take the same approach
and simply wear what they are comfortable in - buying any style of clothing and
sticking with it. Why are there differences between men and women's attitudes
to fashion; and does the male gender really care whether women wear the latest
styles?
The
emphasis on women's beauty has increased a lot over the past century or so -
and women keeping up with fashion have changed with it. In a media-ridden,
photo-manipulating world wear women are expected to look their best (and men's
expectations seemingly moving with this too) - getting the new style of dress
that hugs the waist or drapes over the shoulders is the way of beauty for
women. The fashion industry is also a lot more focused on women - many
magazines offer fashion tips and guides, or tips on where to buy the latest
maxi dress; whereas men's magazines do not put as much emphasis on this type of
article.
