WHAT IS A DRESS
CODE

A dress code is a set of rules governing what garments


may be worn together. Examples of dress codes are
combinations such as "smart casual", or "morning dress
".
The dress code has built in rules or signals indicating
the message being given by a person's clothing and how
it is worn.
. This message may include indications of the person's
gender, income, occupation and social class, political,
ethnic and religious affiliation, attitude and attitude
towards comfort, fashion, traditions, gender expression,
marital status, sexual availability and sexual orientation,
etc. Clothes convey other social messages including the
stating or claiming personal or cultural identity, the
establishing, maintaining, or defying social group norms
, and appreciating comfort and functionality.
For example, wearing expensive clothes can
communicate wealth, the image of wealth, or 
cheaper access to quality clothing.

WHAT IS FASHION

Fashion is a term usually used in a positive sense, as a synonym


for glamour, beauty and style it is also applies to a prevailing
mode of expression, but quite often applies to a personal mode
of expression that may or may not apply to all.
Fashion is something we
deal with everyday. Even
people who say they don't
care what they wear, they
choose clothes every
morning that say a lot
about them and how they
feel that day.
Fashion is big business.
More people are involved
in buying, selling and
production of clothing than
any other business in the
world. Everyday, millions of
workers design, sew, glue,
dye, and transport clothing
to stores.
Current global fashion centres are London, Milan,
Paris and New York, but other cities like Rome and
Tokyo are also becoming well known.

Why is it important?
Fashion is a means of self-expression that allows
people to try on many roles in life. It's a way of
celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in
which we live. Fashion is about change which is
necessary to keep life interesting . At the same time,
fashion shouldn't be taken too seriously or you lose
the fun of it.
