Common conclusions
Go ahead and follow the trends. It sure makes you look smart and attractive and is a great way to tell the people around you that you're always on top of the latest trends. This attitude can work particularly well with companies as you'll send a loud and clear message that you will follow the latest trends in the industry too and will adapt yourself accordingly.
If you feel obsessed with the latest trends and experience an innate compulsion to get to them at all costs, you should stop following it altogether. Remember, anything that consumes your life and your thoughts all day long is not worth the effort, so take steps towards moving away from the habit. This is all the more important if you feel upset when you can't follow the trends.
Many people tend to take the mid-path when it comes to following trends. They do stay on top of it and pick only those trends that align with their life goals and lifestyle. This is probably the most sensible and conscious way of choosing the trends and not following everything that comes your way.
The latest trends may not be worth a splurge. If you have a ton of money and have the financial flexibility to splurge on all the latest trends, go ahead. But if you have to borrow or dip into your savings, it's not worth it at all.
Understanding that trends are temporary and tend to fade over time can help you make balanced decisions. While it doesn't mean you should never follow them, use good judgment, and follow what suits you and your lifestyle the best.
No fashion trend is worth it if it forces you to do something that you don't like. Simply stop following fashion trends and get some peace for yourself.
If these trends add to your personality and make you look better and give you a feel-good factor, go for it by all means. Also, ensure that it within your means too!
There's no point in following a fashion trend if it tends to alter your personality or take away what really distinguishes you. For example, if frizzy hair is what makes you adorable, what's the point in straightening it even if it's the latest trend? SO, make an informed decision and ensure that it adds to your personality. Otherwise, let go.
