Our individual tastes are heavily shaped by our life experiences, age, culture and even physical faculties. This makes it extremely difficult to come up with a definitive definition of beauty, as our particular appraisals and judgments of it are so varied. A general consensus may be agreed upon for certain qualities, but what one person considers beautiful, another may not. Our ability to appreciate beauty is an important factor in understanding it..

[Audio] We all have our own ideas of what is beautiful or attractive, and those ideas will often differ from the prevailing styles of the present. Personal style is something that reflects one's individual aesthetic choices such as clothing, accessories, hairstyles and the way they put together an outfit. Fashion, however, is what is popular among the public and is constantly changing. Although fashion and style can be separate, they can also merge when a trending item matches with one's own sense of style..

[Audio] Concepts of beauty in fashion and style are continually evolving. Popular fashion trends can begin from a shared vision of beauty in the design, often in pieces that may appear unappealing.

It’s important to recognize that beauty does not exist in the tangible item, but created in our minds. We’re also aware that fashion trends evolve as beauty standards shift, but each of us still possess our own personal style. At the end of the day, no one chooses to wear something they consider to be abhorrent and only when something is regarded as attractive by the fashion industry, celebrities, or media, can it attain fashionable status..
