The Influence of Social Media on Fashion: From Insta Reels to Rishta Pics
Intro: Yaar, Instagram Ne Toh Fashion Ka Scene Badal Diya
Yaar, you ever notice how one viral TikTok dance outfit suddenly becomes the “it” style for shaadi functions? Or how your cousin who couldn’t match shoes with shalwar kameez is now suddenly a fashion blogger? 👀
Social media influences fashion by making trends go viral, shaping public taste, boosting influencer culture, and making fashion more accessible worldwide.
Social media is basically that over-smart cousin at a mehndi, loud, everywhere, and somehow setting the vibe.
Why It Matters
Social media has turned fashion into a game of speed. Before, trends trickled down slowly from ramps to shops. Abhi toh:
- One viral reel → whole Pakistan wearing it next week.
- Celeb airport looks → suddenly every guy in university wearing joggers with kurta.
- Online brands → no more waiting for “sale season” like in the 2000s.
For example, check out how clothing’s evolution works globally in Tartan and Kilts—same fast-shifting vibes, bas thoda zyada plaid.
The Pakistani POV 🇵🇰
In Pakistan, social media fashion is its own drama serial.
- TikTok Trends: Oversized T-shirts and sneakers with shalwar? Viral!
- Insta Shaadi Pages: Every bride now wants that “Pinterest mehndi look.”
- College Fashion: Boys went from wearing best T-shirt brands to copying K-dramas overnight.
And let’s be honest—half of us follow influencers just to roast their OOTDs, not copy them.
What Nobody Tells You
Of course, it’s not all Gucci and Prada. The social media-fashion marriage has side effects:
- Fast Fashion Pressure: Log samajhte hain har week naya outfit lena zaroori hai.
- Fake Standards: Perfect Insta pictures hide the fact ke kapray andar se uncomfortable hotay hain.
- Copy-Paste Culture: Everyone looks the same—like “Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V” weddings.
Same as how cricket memes expose truths, remember Who is Chota Don in Cricket?—social media fashion also hides its funny realities.
