The term 'fashion' usually applies to a prevailing mode of [[expression]], but quite often applies to a personal mode of expression that may or may not apply to all. Inherent in the term is the idea that the mode will change more quickly than the [[culture]] as a whole. The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for [[glamour]] and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal [[art]], through which a culture examines its notions of [[beauty]] and [[goodness]]. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for [[fad]]s, [[trend]]s, and [[materialism]]. | The term 'fashion' usually applies to a prevailing mode of [[expression]], but quite often applies to a personal mode of expression that may or may not apply to all.
