Shopping From My Phone

Welcome back fellow followers!

This weeks topic will be on technology, yes technology. Every individual is entitled to different opinions, whether they believe technology is helping us grow and make amazing things, or whether it is impacting us negatively. There are many different pros and cons regarding the impacts of technology on society. You might be asking yourself what technology has to do with fashion, so read and discover the many ways it benefits the fashion world, you could be amazed! 
 

Through a bit of research and some personal experiences, I came up with some ways that technology relates to fashion in a sense of bettering it. Technology has allowed to share trends through social media in a very quick way, which is amazing because we know that the speed of fashion is also moving quickly. Another way it is an advantage for the fashionistas of the world is that it influences others to wear what celebs are wearing;if it wasn't for technology of taking pictures and printing them, we most likely wouldn't be able to see what the Hollywood stars are wearing, in other words, whats in. But what I found technology had a huge impact on was online shopping! 

Online Shopping
Online shopping is a fashionistas best friend, the possibilities of finding the perfect piece are endless. Thanks to all of the fascinating technology that has been created and prated over the past years, we have been able to take the world of a fashion t a whole different level. I don't see why anybody would disagree that technology has increased the things we can do for our personal style and taste. Online shopping benefits us in many ways, some examples that I believe are saving the time and hassle, a way to compare, saving gas, avoiding the salesmen, and a wider variety of sizes. 


Save Time!
Being able to save the time and the hassle of actually getting yourself out of the house, driving through traffic, and going to the mall for something simple can be irritating.I find people will actually rather not go out because they don't want to spend time getting pretty just to go out and buy a couple pairs of socks. Online shopping saves us the time we spend getting ready to go out in public and the time you would be stuck in traffic. Not only would it save you that time, but also the time you will be spending in line to pay for your items, especially during the holiday season. They say, time is money, and if you're losing time AND money while shopping, you're not making a smart choice,so why not spend money but save time? 


Comparing
One of the many benefits of online shopping is that it makes it so quick and painless to compare prices and style. Many times people will be looking for a certain item, when they have found it on three different on lie pages, they can easily compare price without having to drive around to all three departments.
Another reason it is easy to compare clothing, shoes, or accessories so easily online is because they usually take a couple different shots of the item looks on a mannequin, they give you many different views, and some times will even give an example of an outfit that you can put together.  
Yes, comparing is something that would've been done without technology, but who are we kidding? Who actually takes the time to drive around town to try to compare prices of a shirt ?


Variety!
The times that you find the perfect shoe, but come to the counter just to find out that the retail store has run out of your size are endless; not to mention, frustrating! Another amazing benefit of online shopping is that we have a huge variety of items whether it's the color, size, price, and brand. Usually, it tends tone easier to find the item you want in different color online, if your at your local store, they just have whats out, you get what you get. Finding a certain size at the actual store you have walked into is often near impossible, there is always something that has to go wrong in order for you not to have what you fell in love with. If you're shopping online, chances are that you will have more size options because you are directly ordering from the company; if the product isn't on that wen page, there are always many other cites that are easy to find by punching a couple of key words of the item you are looking for. 



There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the way that we in the fashion world are influenced and impacted positively thanks to the use of technology. 
Online shopping is only one of the many examples that we can use in order to convince society that technology has improve many things that we benefit from. The possibilities can go on forever, although some all read through and still disagree, I can't help but be convinced that technology has truly done an amazing job of promoting and serving the fashion world and many other things.
