Sports Brands

One thing you should know is that generally speaking, sports brands never go out of fashion. Whether it’s Nike, Adidas, or Fila, there will always be people wearing them. Out of all of them, Nike is considered the best and always the most popular. Every generation since at least the 1980s has been obsessed with the brand. You can pick up new lenses for your Nike sunglasses if you own a pair. Vintage Nike is extremely popular right now so if you are fortunate enough to own a pair of old Nike sunglasses, replacing their lenses and keeping them in action is definitely worth considering. Bear in mind that you can pick up vintage Nike very cheap online so even if you don’t own an old pair, you can get one for next to nothing. Professional lens replacement services can send you new lenses, or you can send your glasses to them, and they can change them for you.

Social Media

In the introduction to this post, reference was given to the undeniable fact that in order to stay ahead of trends, you have to watch people on social media. However, you do not have to devote all of your time to watching people on social media. A good way to ensure that you know what is going on in the fashion world is to follow some very influential models, actors, or celebrities and pay attention to the brands and types of clothes that they are wearing. By doing this you will begin learning about what is hot and what is not.

Reading Magazines

Magazines can be good for finding out what is going on in the fashion industry too. A lot of people overlook magazines, choosing digital information sources instead. However, most magazine providers don’t just offer print copies these days, they also offer digital copies. Signing up for their service means you’ll get a digital copy of their magazine sent to you once or twice a month via email. Fashion magazines can give you a lot of tips and guidance and give you the chance to find out what is going on from people whose job it is to know what’s popular in the industry.

Understanding Brands

Before you can begin looking more fashionable, you have to understand which brands are most popular. Today they are easily Nike, Balenciaga, Gucci, and potentially even Versace, though Versace’s relevance is quickly fading. One mistake you need to avoid making if you want to look fashionable is wearing the wrong clothes. If you do not have a lot of money and cannot keep up with the latest brand trends, buy timeless clothes, like bespoke ones. Bespoke clothes never go out of fashion and they look great.

Fashion Trends

If you want to know what the latest fashion trends are, consider following big design houses on social media. All of the major fashion labels have their own social media pages. It does need to be noted though, some labels only catch onto trends when they are on their way out. One brand that consistently stays ahead of and creates them is Balenciaga. Following Balenciaga on social media will definitely keep you relevant and aware of what is going on, even if you do not personally like their clothes or find them excessive.

Watching People

Finally, if you want to know what is going on at the ground level, go to your nearest city and watch people. The clothes you see young, trendy adults wearing will likely be the ones that are most popular right now. Using strangers off the street as style inspiration is not uncommon. In fact, there are thousands of social media pages devoted to the street style of random strangers. Watching people is a good way of finding out how to wear clothes, too. Simply buying a nice top doesn’t necessarily mean it is going to look good on you, as you have to wear it the right way.

Fashion is hard to follow. However, just because something is hard to follow doesn’t mean that it is off-limits to ordinary people. If you want to know what is going on in the fashion industry then this post’s guidance will help you to keep yourself relevant and aware.
