The word fashion applies to a prevailing mood of expression, as well as a personal mode of self-expression. The great debate of fashion of course, is that in one minute something is called fashionable or “in”, while just a short time later the same subject becomes unfashionable, or as the kids say, “so 1980s!” The term has both positive and negative connotations. It is affiliated with an aesthetic and stylistic lifestyle, but also has negative connotations due to people's perception of fads, trends and the pursuit of materialism. Fashion is also used as a synonym for the words glamour and style.
