Fasion of theContinents

This week I am going to talk about the main fashion trends in some of the world’s seven continents. The climate in each of the continents is hugely varied so it is obvious that the fashion would be too.

Europe:

There are very few countries in Europe with that have traditional clothes that they wear every day. Europe has a very high rate of people wearing designer clothes and the latest catwalk trends. In the hotter countries such as Italy and Spain people often wear light clothing all year round whereas in places such as Ireland and Norway they get much colder in the winter and therefore our wardrobes change with the seasons.

North America:

North America is home to some of the world’s top designers. Tommy Hilfiger, Ralf Lauren and Karl Lagerfeld are some of the most well know of the bunch. What you wear in North America very much determines your social status in school, college and even the workplace. Teens are especially put under a lot of pressure to have the designer everything in order to be accepted in school society.

Asia:

Out of all of the seven continents the fashion traditions of the countries in Asia are definitely the most spectacular. In India women traditionally wear beautiful sarees which are seen in a variety of vibrant colours and are decorated with beautiful beads. Then we move to china where dresses such as the cheongsam are commonly worn by women. These are traditionally decorated dresses and are sought after in countries other that china.

Fashion and the Four Seasons



With each new season our wardrobes change. We change the colours, styles and lengths of our clothes to suite the weather the seasons bring. In the months of spring we turn to fresh new colours to bring us out of our winter shells. Colours such as pinks, blues, yellows and oranges come out in the spring months. People also start to wear lighter clothing such as skirts and blouses to accommodate the changing weather. In the summer months we tend to use even brighter colours and the pastel colours also come out to play for the summer. Due to the much warmer weather people start to wear shorts, short skirts, t-shirts and kami tops to keep them cool during the hot summer months. When autumn comes round again people turn to rusty oranges and reds to match the changing weather. People start to cover up again and start wearing jumpers and tights. Then in the depths of winter people turn to dark colours in most cases but still bright colours such as reds can brighten up those dark days! Long coats and trousers come out of our wardrobes along with the gloves on the cold days.It is very clear to see that the seasons have a huge impact on our wardrobe and that fashion in built around accommodating people’s needs at certain times.
