As we have all become conscious of improving our appearance, we have found myriad ways to do it. We try to look good by wearing make up, dyeing our hair, getting breast implants, spending on clothing and several other ways just to modify our looks. Even if it seems not necessary, these are definitely interesting creations.

Many times we must have laughed at the characters in old movies. The glasses that they wore, for example, were hardly anything stylish. That is, from our view point. Today, people abhor wearing such spectacles. Perhaps, in those days people used those glasses because they needed them. We may assume, looking good was secondary to being practical and meaningful.

We see the modern day boys and girls sporting a variety of trendy glasses. These young people have no vision problems; for them it is fashion. They believe it gives them a fashion image. One question arises on my mind. Did or did not the people of those decades see glasses as something fashionable? Even if they did not link it to the fashion of the day, I wonder why they did not think of an alternative to the thick big lenses that they wore. Why did they not think of contact lenses. That would have made a lot of difference.

Having said all this, it is interesting to just imagine what the young ones coming after another 20-30 years will say about our trends. We know for sure that what we have today is the fashion for all times to come or this is the best of all times. This said, it is possible that what we see of sixties must have been the fashion of those times. If you think talking about this issue is waste of time, I do not dispute. The idea is just to muse over the issue and keep our minds active. Above all, it is fun too.

We are living in a world surrounded by numerous things that are either related to the technology, the latest gadgets or the latest fashion. And Fashion today has made its significance felt in almost all sectors of life. Fashion can be termed into two groups: One group which follows fashion trends and adopts them and the other group who create fashion and style statements for the others to follow them. It can also be extended to another set of people who rarely have anything to do with fashion trends but yet follow their own style to create their own unique personality; adding one more style to the fashion world.

Fashion is not just about cosmetics and make up or the hair-do. It is a sense of creating the charisma of looking good in anything you wear and this magic is created with the right kind of accessories going along with the foot wear and the clothes, making up a pleasant picture to view. Many a times, people who do not afford to buy expensive clothes look their best in their casual wear, just by presenting themselves in that manner of sophistication and creating an aura around them with the confidence of looking good.

There are myriad forms of fashion, and trends keep on changing with the seasons. From the early 60s and 70s to the present millennium, there has been an immense change in the forms, looks and thoughts about fashion trends.

In India, much of fashion has been influenced by the Hindi Film Industry, popularly called Bollywood. The trends that have changed through time can be fairly seen in the movies made during the 60s and 70s and how they have evolved in various forms bringing about a style that can be followed by the general public. People have aped the west from very early times and this was no exception. The clothes made in the 60s and 70s were very much influenced by the western countries and given a traditional touch. The Bell Bottoms, scarves and the hair style was very much prevalent in those days as an icon of style. Later in the 80s and 90s, Fashion world sizzled like never before. There was a craving by the people to look different, stylish and modern and this could be seen in their outlook towards their outfit, new styles of hair, makeup, accessories like purses, earrings, necklaces, matching footwear etc.
