May 27, 2016 Inquiry in a Nutshell!!
So… I forgot to keep track of my inquiry, but now i will start now. So a problem I had was that I didn’t know what to do for my inquiry, but some of the ideas I thought of were:
- Colour
- Inventions Of the Future
- Weather
- Flowers
- What Soap is made of
- Food
But the closest one I almost did was the history of the iphone. However, after a while, I thought it wouldn’t be a good inquiry for me because I don’t own any iphones.
But then I thought maybe I should do fashion, but someone said that it should be more specific, so I think I will make my inquiry about questions I have about women’s fashion.
I hope this turns out successful.
June 3, 2016 Why do people follow fashion trends?
I thought about why people follow fashion trends, and I wanted to know why. So this is what I found:
Why do people follow fashion trends? So, overall, I found out that people follow fashion trends because they want to feel confident or impress others around them.
By following fashion trends, a person is able to show their identity to their peers and also express themselves.
In addition to showing one’s identity, a person is also able to gain confidence by keeping up with the latest fashion trend. Confidence is sometimes determined by how a person sees himself or herself more than how other people see them. So, when a person wears the most stylish clothes since they are part of the latest collection, the person is able to be more confident about themselves.
By following fashion trends, people are also able to impress others.. This is because most people appreciate individuals who have a unique style. A person could impress someone else because they want to start a relationship with them just by following fashion trends.

Hey guys!! So I thought about some different styles of fashion, and wanted to see what they are. So I did some research about it. This is what I found:
What are some types of fashion styles? Fashion styles are a commonly misunderstood idea, which is less complicated than it often seems.
All outfits are grouped according to similarities in pattern, fabric, style line and color. Fashion style generally refers to the groups of personality traits that people have.
Fashion style is like a character sketch that describes a personality out of a fashion theme. For example, if you have arty fashion type, you may be drawn to arty themes in apparel.
So here are some of the different types of fashion styles:
- Bohemian— Bohemian style is characterized with artistic interests like arty style. However, the difference is that Bohemian style focuses on some exotic patterns and textures.
- Arty— Arty, as the name suggests, pertains to a creative thinker. The clothes an arty girl wears shows her artistic themes. Arty style avoids the conventional and chooses something unique.
- Chic— One of the popular types of fashion styles is the chic style. “Chic” is often synonymous with “trendy” or “fashionable”. People who favour this style prefer classic and stylish designs that are striking and smart.
- Classic— Classic style may express comfort, but actually it focuses more on quality and popular styles. It focuses on clean uncluttered lines and formal balance, which expresses a sense of stability.. If you have this type of fashion, you are showing simple elegance in your wardrobe.
- Exotic— Exotic style focuses on something very uncommon, striking yet excitingly different. A traveler who comes from another exotic land may show exotic style. Exotic style is often mysterious and fascinating.
- Flamboyant— “Flamboyant” is associated with “dramatic”. However, between flamboyant and dramatic, flamboyant is more energetic and outgoing. The main characteristic of flamboyant is being flashy., asymmetrical, and bold..
- Glamorous— Glamorous style shows a dazzling look accompanied with refined drama. Similar to flamboyant style, the clothes often get everyone’s attention.
- Sophisticated— People with sophisticated style are not easily satisfied. Similar to classic, these people want high quality.. Aside from high quality, distinction and culture polish which is beyond the elegance are needed. People who appreciate sophisticated style are often socialites or want to be one.
- Tomboy— Tomboy style is for a girl who wants to wear something simple and who doesn’t like to wear pink. Tomboy style focuses on graphic tees and distressed shirts from the boy section of department stores. This apparel is a bit baggy but it is not a bad thing..
- Goth— Gothic fashion is a clothing style influenced by Goth subculture. This style is characterized with dark and morbid style of dress. Common Gothic style includes black lips, black hair as well as black clothes.
- Punk— Punk style had started after the World War II but it became popular in the 1970’s. It had gone through different modifications and style twists but the main goal of punk style is to be edgy..
- Preppy— Preppy style is very popular among college students. This style is often girly but not too much frilly. The clothes are great to mix and match. In most of the time, the style may appear luxurious but actually people with this style do not have to spend a lot of money to get this look.

Hey guys! This is the final week I will get to work on my inquiry!! So, I am planning to make a poster to show what I’ve learned. I am also going to add some questions that I unfortunately didn’t get the answer to because I started my inquiry late.
My Other Questions About Fashion:
- What would fashion look like 100 years from now?
- What did fashion look like 200 years in the past?
- What are the weirdest materials that people once actually used to try to make clothes?
- Is there a shirt that goes with everything (does it look good with every outfit)?
