Fashion has always been something that most women look forward to. Many fashion trends come, and they transform after a certain period. Different fashion statements are always changing. The reappearance of previous style statements is also a common phenomenon in fashion. Fashion trends are limitless and they are not bound by geography. This article presents an overview of the various factors affecting women’s fashion. 

Several factors influence the clothing sense, choice, and preferences of women across the globe. Clothes often become the fashion statement for women. While comfort is paramount in determining fashion sense, a number of other factors also play an important role. 

• Fashion trends
  The choice of clothes is highly influenced by what is the current style statement and what is worn by celebrities. Women generally follow television, fashion channels, red carpet events, other celebrity shows, and acquire knowledge about what the current fashion trends are. They then attempt to emulate the clothing, hairstyles, and accessories that are in trend. 

• Modesty and culture
  Modesty has a strong impact on clothing. Women still have some restrictions on what they can wear in some areas. These variables influence the fashion statement of women across the world. Apart from this tradition, culture and other factors within a particular country also affect the fashion statements of women. 

• Events and ceremonies
  Another important factor that defines the fashion statement of women is the events and ceremonies. Occasions such as office parties, weddings, evening parties, and informal parties play an important role in the way women determine their clothing sense. There is a tendency for preferring a different set of outfits for different occasions. Clothes that are used for very special occasions have a special meaning. The approach toward wearing traditional dresses is also seen, which gives an elegant and unique look. Ceremonies and events also necessitate special ornaments, accessories, and jewelry that is otherwise not used commonly.

• Status
  Status is another driving factor for influencing the fashion statement and clothing style. Status can be defined by income groups, job profile, career positions, corporate culture — all these factors determine the clothing sense and other fashion styles seen in women. 

• Climatic conditions
  Climatic conditions are another factor that defines the fashion statement across the globe. For colder regions, different types of warm clothes are preferred. But for tropical region, shorts and denim are preferred, and they come in different trends that define fashion.

• Psychological factors
  Psychological factors affect the clothing sense and fashion statement. Happiness and pleasure are symbolized with bright and sharp colors, whereas dull colors represent sadness and depression. Another important factor for a fashion statement is age. As a woman ages, she prefers comfortable outfits. On the other hand, teenagers are interested in wearing trendy and unique outfits. Surrounding locality is also an important factor for determining fashion statement.  

These are some of the significant factors that tend to have an effect on women’s fashion sense.
