I am a big lover of fashion. Fashion is what you make of it, trends are guidelines that designers have given you but you never have to follow them.
Your choices are up to you and what you wear represents your inner state. It is how you choose to reveal yourself to the world.
I myself would consider me an introvert so fashion is a huge deal for me. It enables me to show a certain aspect of myself without neccessarily having to talk. Which sometimes is really nice. And I feel like many people can relate to that.
If however you come across an article that tells you to stop doing what you believe in because guys don‘t like the trends many women are actually loving- how do you respond to that?
Women shouldn‘t rely on men. Women are indepent, they are an amazing species of mankind and shouldn‘t ever be told what to do and what not to do. We are living OUR lives. We are not living a life of some 30 year old guy. No, it is up to us to make something of it. We can wear what we want. If we feel like pairing a cute high waisted skater skirt with cut out shirts, maybe even some high heels that make you feel like you can touch the sky, we should wear that outfit. Because we feel cute wearing it and it boosts our confidence. Yeah, men might not like it, but who are you to tell us we shouldn‘t wear that? We are not telling men to stop wearing beanies because we might think it looks stupid. No, we find it endearing.
Style is personal but if you dictate what a person has to wear, you are minimizing their own individual value. They are losing a piece of their self, their voice. And that is a damn shame! Be proud to show of your clothes. Work it and never shy away because some dude might not like the way you are sporting oversized sweaters or high waisted jeans.
And if I may add something- women don't dress to impress men most of the times anyways. It is something for a woman herself to enjoy.
