Moda - Vocabolario

Leggendo questa lezione imparerai alcuni vocaboli legati al mondo della moda.

A fashion is a style of clothing or a behaviour that is popular at a specific time.

If something becomes popular, it comes into fashion. When something is no longer popular, it goes out of fashion.

There are different words used to define people who pay attention to style, or things that are very popular or original: fashionable, trendy, stylish, groovy, cool, hip, funky.

Trend-setters are those who create a new style and make it popular, whereas fashion victims or trend victims are those people who want to be fashionable at all costs and spend a lot of money on trendy items, even if these don’t suit them.

Fashion designers are people who design clothes and present them at fashion shows, where models wear them.

Come evitare di essere vittima delle mode? Scoprilo leggendo la lezione di oggi

Are you tired of looking like (somigliare a) everybody else? Here are a few simple tips to avoid being a fashion slave (schiavo della moda).
First, don’t pay attention to every "What's hot" (cosa va di moda) list that you find on magazines.
They are mostly part of marketing strategies used by fashion designers (stilisti) to boost (incrementare) sales.

If you follow these fashion forecasts (previsioni), you‘ll end up looking like all the people who read them too!
Don’t spend a fortune on a plain (comune), grey cotton t-shirt from a designer store.
If you are going to splurge on (spendere una follia per) some designer item, make sure it is something that you can’t find anywhere else.
Don’t buy expensive blue jeans; they all look the same (uguali). Look for plain vintage (d’epoca) jeans, then add your own personal touch.
Be a chameleon (camaleonte)! Let your style change with your mood (umore). If you put your personality into your wardrobe (guardaroba) you can save (risparmiare) a lot of money, and no one else will look like you.
