How Popular Fashion Trends Is Shifting In A Market

The term “fashion trends” refers to the general characteristics of fashion products that are most in vogue at a given point of time. However, fashion trends tend to experience short product life cycles as fashion trends are cyclical in nature. As such it is important for consumers to be on their toes and watch fashion trends closely to gauge when they are about to hit an all-time high or a new low in terms of their popularity. Fashion, like any other product, is a sagging economy. As consumers become less willing or more unable to spend on particular items due to economic factors, fashion and product wear and tear will occur. If consumers can anticipate when this is going to happen, they will be in a better position to be able to weather the storm and buy what they need when it comes their way.

The product life cycle of a fashion item is its overall lifespan in the marketplace. There are several factors which determine the length of a product life cycle. Some of these include the fashion design, the type of materials used to create the product, its overall size and structure, the popularity of that particular item, its usage pattern and its price level, as well as various other factors which determine the product life cycle. Fashion trends tend to have short product lifecycles because consumers do not become interested in the items that they see being worn by celebrities and other well-known people in the media. When the product does not become popular in the market or within a specific market segment, then that item will not last very long. This shortening of the product life cycle is also partially responsible for the relatively short product life cycle of some fashion styles.

It has been estimated that the average fashion trend will only last about seven years if it is very popular. It is important for consumers to observe fashion trends carefully to determine when they are about to hit a peak in terms of their popularity. It is also important for consumers to understand the reasons behind why certain products lose their luster quickly. Once an item begins to lose its appeal, it is often too late to bring it back to its former status as “trendsetter”.
