Pop culture has always been known for influencing fashion. The Beatles were a famous group this. Everyone wanted to look like them.
Even though many things have an influence on fashion these days, such as economy, beliefs, geography, and culture; Pop Culture is by far the most influential.
Apparently some TV shows in Briton have created a top hat trend. To be worn with a (suede) suit jacket and jeans. This isn't the first time this trend has been around the block though, and it most likely won't be the last.
I'm a fan of this though. I do enjoy a well-dressed man. By enjoy, I mean, attractiveness can go up by as much as 3 points on the 1- 10 scale, if a guy is wearing clean, properly fitting apparel. It shows when you take the time be easy on the eyes, and it should pay off as well. I don't mean spend an hour in front of the mirror, I just mean spend some time in front of the mirror at least.
As far as trends go, everyone wants to look like their idol, or role model do they not? In Canada that usually means donning a jersey with your favourite players name on the back, but that's not so much a trend or even pop culture, that's just ...culture.
Canada hasn't ever started too many trends, fashion wise, I think it's too cold for that . When we spend most of the year bundled up it's hard to really care what you're wearing as long as you keep your extremities from freezing off. Even looking around the classroom now, it's not uncommon for people to continue to wear their toques, hats, or scarves inside.
The 2010 Winter Olympics did start the red mitten craze though, hence the need to keep our extremities from freezing off.
It all leads to the age old fashion questions is it better to be practical or fashionable, or can you be both?
