Fashion changes fast. More and more people are browsing the internet for fashion blogs on the latest trends and then ordering their clothes online.

It's not just women that are interested in fashion, men also want to look good and believe their appearance matters. Individuality and creativity are key. Clothing can be a way for young people to show that they belong to a group, to express their taste in music, sport, or their ideals and particular tastes.

In Germany, athletic wear and outdoor wear are always popular. Many people, regardless of age or gender, wear sneakers and all-weather jackets. It is important that attire is functional.

Have you noticed that things that used to be fashionable are "in" again? This is called "retro".
