Media influences style trends so much. Media influence is basically when you see a celebrity wearing a certain item of clothing. If you see it more than once, the general population begins to think that it's okay to wear that. Designers see that, and then they start to create a whole line according to what is shown on television. That then creates a trend. I always say just pay attention - if it doesn't look good on you, it's not for you.
