Looking good, feeling great, and doing good embrace what is analogous to an inside-out canvas kind of glow up. It’s great to glow on the outside; this is made possible with a variety of sportswear and grooming routines, complexions, remedies, cosmetics, allowing the outside to shine stunningly. True beauty, however, lies on the inside, and that’s what matters most. My suggestion is to nurture or pamper the inside as much as the outside. That means the fashion and beauty secrets are good for enhancing not only your extra but also your intra-human glow.
The Significance of Fashion and Beauty in Self-Empowerment
Emotions, behaviors, and symbolism related to fashion and beauty are dynamic, ambivalent, debated, and diverse, whether as a private, intimate, and subjective matter or public, collective, and cultural matter, representing enlightened and delusional, positive and negative, conservative and liberal, superficial and significant, inside and outside conflicts and connections. The contemporary dimension of fashion and beauty lies in a globally competitive, liberal, gross, accelerated, dysmorphic, and hedonistic era, paradoxically experienced along with increased consciousness and militancy, where we are invited to shine, look good, feel good, and stand out, and often conveyed in the name of self-acceptance, individuality, difference, and authenticity.
Fashion and beauty are powerful tools that have been utilized since ancient times for personal and collective expression, exploring, reinforcing, and rejecting cultural norms, and enhancing the human physical appearance and body adornment. They play a fundamental role in visual and material culture, social history, heritage, and contemporary issues. The significance of fashion and beauty in self-empowerment and well-being is enormous both at the personal and community levels. They empower women, men, and virtually anyone with a body, identity, or culture seeking distinction, and complemented by media, entertainment, fashion, and beauty industries, influencing the masses in what defines individuality, spirituality, politics, social status, and wellness, and what promotes beliefs and behavior.
Chapter 1: Understanding the Essence of Pure Fashion and Beauty
It is quite unfortunate to see that most young girls and grown-up women do not realize they are making a serious health mistake when they want to shrink to look like how models and celebrities look. Theodore Roosevelt aptly said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” We should always concentrate on our personal transformation and being the best version of ourselves. The first step in this luxurious journey of transformation is a total body cleanse – physically, mentally, spiritually and nutritionally. Clothes, food and grooming should be your absolute friends. They can inspire you, energize you, make you look pretty, feel confident and successful and most importantly, help you attack the world like a true Tigress.
We live in a world where people continuously judge you by the way you look and carry yourself. All around us, we see skinny yet visibly malnourished models and celebrities – shamelessly endorsing unhealthy sizes and making us believe that we will be accepted only in a certain size and shape. It is high time that we come out of our delusions as pure fashion and beauty is all about being glamorous from within; about loving yourself the way you actually are; about being natural and healthy; and about wearing a radiant smile, sparkling eyes and well-nourished skin. Beat the media stereotypes and cultivate your unique personal image. You are unique and your style should reflect your special qualities, values and successes.
Defining Pure Fashion and Beauty
Important Notes: The essence within this work can also be called: beautiful person, radiant confidence, always love and forgiven, perfection in imperfection, divine lady and knight. Typically, remember it is all about you, so beautiful women and gentlemen too. I have found and named the essence in the contexts of beauty and youth, but the principles of being divinely and beautifully natural beauty also can relate to older women as well, special needs, disabled, over-size, under-size persons, transgender, metrosexual men, and gender-binary people.
A goal of pure fashion and beauty is to help you look beyond this…
I think it is great that individual women and men have a sense of style. The problem is when what you wear disproves who you are, leads you off your personal path, and you start to believe that this is how you should continuously look and be. Simply, your style has described you more than the “truth” about who you are, underneath it all. Your inner world expresses what outward look is concerning.
Pure is Mr. or Mrs. Authentic. This is from the core of your being. Every other kind of fashion and beauty without this core enhancement misrepresents you, is not you.
Pure fashion and beauty are not just something from the outside, somebody looks good. Pure fashion and beauty unveil the essence of who you are. It embraces being pure, natural, true, authentic.
So let’s define pure fashion and beauty before further unwrapping the essence and secrets of fashion and beauty that empower you. What do you think it is? It is whatever it needs to be, but here is the etymology: pure is exemplar and fashion is to shape the future. This helps, though I am going to share more details.
Historical Perspectives
Fast forward about more than a century, and we would agree that we’ve made massive strides in our perception and view of women and the jealousy that flows from success and financial independence. Nowadays, it has become more than possible for women to live up to their full potential, to be superior in some activities, and to experiment with artistic vocations, being particularly open to the opportunity of discovering their inner world. Women have, in fact, conquered status, and it looks like some might be achieving an over-conquering. Social and financial independence brought confusion, helping the term “power suit” lose some of its meaning, and there is an ongoing shift from preoccupation with aesthetics with the aim of social promotion to the promotion of inner values and emotions. Hedonism has entered the scene, and personal satisfaction is no longer a side effect of modest behavior; it has become a life goal. With the luxury of leaving the house each morning in an ever more comfortable outfit, complemented with an ever more natural expression, people’s enthusiasm for transcendent beauty and foraging beauty has atrophied. What for years was a permanent objective of fashion has changed, being replaced by “self-design,” the creation of one’s own image, reflecting a personality rather than status.
When our great grandparents thought about an individual in a position of power, most likely one of two images would come to mind: a stern-faced man in a gray suit, or a lady sitting next to him in an intellectually inferior but powerfully corseted and bustled dress. The goal at that time was to look and play a certain part in society, and whether a woman spoke five languages, played the piano, and painted still-lifes in watercolors was of no interest whatsoever. What ensured her respect was the brand name of her tailor and the distinctiveness of her costume.
Chapter 2: The Psychology Behind Fashion and Beauty
In today’s fast-paced society, often we look for fast and easy beauty and fashion styles because we are too lazy or too mentally exhausted to really prepare but won’t want to look like we didn’t try – as a society we are told our appearance is important. We are bombarded with judgment for what we wear or look like and often we simply don’t have time to keep up. This struggle often creates struggle in our closet and beauty cabinets. Too much stuff we don’t care enough for or not enough things we can readily throw on or use daily. Superficially, this problem appears small; we seem to have the answer with little fuss. “Yet our solutions are often why we are in this trap.” Our wardrobes and self-care routines often dictate what we wear and use with little effort or thought because of a complacent attitude. However, we find ourselves crawling through a slowly but increasingly claustrophobic box of beauty and fashion options.
The second chapter of the series “The Inner Glow Up: Unveiling the Secrets of Fashion and Beauty That Empower You” dives into the psychology behind fashion and beauty. Renowned international psychology therapist and stylist Nidhi Soordar will walk you through the natural cycles we go through and the effects it has on our self-confidence and sense of style. When we are feeling good within ourselves, our wardrobe and beauty routines are easy to manage. We often worry less about screwing things up or looking perfect – we know we look good! Just as trenches and sneakers become boring, heels or ball gowns are surfaced. This vicious cycle often dictates our wardrobes, hair, or makeup choices. You will learn how to stop the cycle of boredom and finally figure out what symptoms to look for in boring beauty and fashion choices and how to get out of them. “Beauty, unlike fashion, tends to repeat itself on much longer timelines with only subtle changes everyone notices just as much as we do.”
Self-Expression and Identity
Fashion, of course, connects with identity on the most superficial level, on how we fly our social flag and align ourselves with groups or subcultures. We as human beings want to fit in as part of a group, while at the same time be unique as individuals. For the outsider, the mere sight of a group in matching colors is as frightening as the idea of wearing a particular brand. The underlying assumption is that their self tough and strength, emitted via their group image somehow makes them seem impervious to social stress. In reality, the impulse to group identification, and by extension, consumption behavior is often strong when preexisting loyalties are not in question. Combined initial tests that emphasize a commonality we all share are therefore essential for businesses concerned with brand loyalty.
On a more personal level, fashion and beauty are tools for creative expression and personal identity formation. For many people, what they wear is not just about looking good, but mental attitude, being confidence and character: these things are often transmitted by fashion choices. It is not so much about looking cool, but about being it, whatever form this might take for them. It’s about sending a message to the world. As Mitchell Oakley Smith, author of Men of Style wrote, ‘It’s not enough to just look good; clothes today have to say the right thing.’ The messages we want to say, of course, can change radically from day to day, week to week or year to year, depending on our moods, life events, current influences and changing experiences.
Confidence and Empowerment
The clothes have the physical function of protecting against external elements and fulfilling comfort. Its biological function is its ability to thermoregulate the skin and absorb potential environmental pollution. Its anatomical and physiological functions are based on the way it conceals and reveals the body. The psycho-emotional functions bring psychological comfort and serve as an instrument of personal expression. The wearing of fashion is a cultural manifestation, and clothing can represent a form of personal empowerment. Consequently, some people (but not only) claim that fashion is an artwork and that dressing well is not so simple, especially since from a very young age, it seems that everyone begins to make assessments about their appearance and the way they are dressed. At the beginning of life, the visual contact facilitated by the use of attractive clothes contributes to the constitution of the crucial sense of personal identity referred to as the I. Such a constitution of identity is also crucial for the construction of personal self-esteem and a consequent sense of identity.
Cloth and appearance are important aspects that women describe as lifting and alluring. When a person doesn’t feel comfortable, he tries to convey a self-image continuously and persistently, and when he fails, significant segments of his functioning are affected. When he believes that he does not have a positive self-image, his abilities become irrelevant. This means discomfort, embarrassment, etc. In cases of negatively evaluated appearance, 58-63% of those who have an acute onset of symptoms sometimes avoid the meeting and/or visiting places where the person is not known. Such acute stress responses in stressful social situations can occur in social phobia. Patients with social phobia have generalized feelings of discomfort, inadequacy, and tension. They are constantly afraid of embarrassing themselves in public, so they begin to avoid all situations that they consider to be stressful. Difficulty with the appearance rarely makes a person alone. To avoid feelings of loneliness, a person must boost self-image.
Chapter 3: The Intersection of Fashion, Beauty, and Culture
Butler and Chong were most impressed with fashion’s potential for making things beautiful (actually Reinhold’s assertion). Beauty as a function of fashion happens to be worlds away from the concern at hand – beauty of a person. For the aim of covering beauty in fashion’s realm, read the ‘Beauty’ section in chapter one. This chapter begins to address beauty and fashion through brief discussions of fashion that supports gestures of kindness and helpfulness, courtesy of Jeannie Bird of the Humanus doctoral program and of several organizations covering chapter one’s ‘women and children of Domestic Abuse and Children’s Charities; teens; HIV/AIDS and palliative care; addiction and recovery programs; and employment solutions’.
The Butler-Chong angle is about fashion; their approach to beauty is another page from the dictionary. This chapter narrows their angle, concentrating solely on fashion and beauty. The difference in the chapters ‘Geography of Paradise’, ‘Ethics in the Age of Adornment’, and ‘By Making Beautiful Things, We Provide Meaning for Our Lives’ is not deliberate. The goals of those chapters are issues that both fashion and beauty are capable of addressing. Women’s outsized interest in fashion and beauty also warrants this standalone chapter. When history remembers women’s age of adornment, are fashion and beauty addendums to the economy, or are these two means of finding ourselves, of leaving, and of assuming our identities? And, does fashion and beauty function the same way in all cultures?
Cultural Appropriation vs. Cultural Appreciation
The legend goes that in the 15th century Europeans began to collect rarities all over the world and formed the cabinets of curiosities with them, and then the museums emerged. At the same time, the curiosity towards the other world’s wonders was often forming up as the created and foreign, so, exclusively the exotic things could be of value. But this interest just unveiled the other humans in their intellectual as well as creative possibilities. The environmental interest, which is the watering hole spot for different cultures in the tooth and nail struggle for the resources, forced them to share their achievements in construction, engineering, agriculture, geophysics, pharmacy… And what has it shown? Only the shallow tourist signs, a couple of runes and shamrocks?!
The reason why we get the inner confusion about what makes cultural appropriation, how to recognize it, and even how to properly use that term, is the general confusion about culture. And though cultural appropriation usually arises in questions of wearing hijabs and other specimens of religious/cultural clothing, to celebrate famous people’s look, rocks music festivals or performing foreign dances, it is much wider and closer to every one of us. Every time a girl puts on a cute kimono, a boy decides to dreadlocks, or someone just buys a classic African movie or music without knowing anything about the true culture of nations who gave that to the world, they’re also showing their attitude to other civilization and to the cultural dialogue in general. So, before noticing anyone else’s manners, everyone should understand better what it is to use the other’s cultural symbols and in what frames this act is anyway disrespectful.
Chapter 4: Sustainable and Ethical Practices in Fashion and Beauty
Sustainability as a concept and practice has amidst many interpretations. One of the most common definitions is the implementation of practices that means meeting the needs of the sending generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The industries of fashion and beauty are notorious for a reliance on mass production and increasing commercial demands, both contributing to the depletion of the planet’s resources and production methods that detrimentally affect human health (both the producers and the consumers). There is mounting pressure for businesses to deliver solutions that are clean, safe, ethical and sustainable. Beauty and cosmetic companies have to adapt too, as they have reached a point of evolution that craftsmanship values have returned to fashion and beauty innovations.”
“Sustainable brands are empowering and uplifting, through analyzing and approval of Edward Abbey and his immortal, “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.” Health and wellness are more than caring for our individual selves, but rather, when we can extend compassion to other beings, through our consumption. We heal and we evolve.
The Rise of Sustainable Fashion
In the ‘growing wastes’ industry and in the fast fashion industry. While major fashion retailers release new productions almost every week, most of the pieces already on the market are buried in many already existing garments. Because they are much less costly, they are easier to discard than to repair or resell. Fabrics develop toxic content, water pollution, greenhouse emissions, and other environmental damage caused by these fast fashion techniques. As consumers who not only travel to buy clothing products, but also race against time and loss of affection, we are all becoming tourists. Many consumers have woken up, however, and are now finding a nice, enduring recipe for faithful interest and quality. “The majority of environmentally aware citizens are willing to contemplate sustainability inside their detailed practices,” the statistics verify.
Sustainable fashion is the strategy to develop viable products structurally and ethically. Such industry trends can not only shift capitalist paradigms, but also have an economic effect on consumers and industries of beauty or style of life that are needed. The fashion industry has an effect. The fashion industry, unfortunately, is the second-largest pollution source in asthma and is one of the main reasons for air pollution and water contamination. We are here the end customers and the big losers. We are also the end-users. It’s time for a drastic transformation in the way business processes are interpreted and adopted. “Sustainable fashion has become a major sector to be incorporated into our daily lives, in addition to becoming a necessary form for the prevention of respiratory and environmental diseases.”
Beauty brands already often communicate the genuine purpose of their products – and these brands are thriving. They are the honest enablers of transformative uses vs. just successful products. Ultimately, positive behavioral changes are the key reason driving high customer retention. A deeper understanding of the demand side of fashion and beauty can be beneficial for both consumers and industry professionals representing either the supply chain, marketing, management, or corporate philanthropy. On the professional side, the hidden motivation discovered can be transformed into future product direction, branding, and ongoing corporate philanthropy and corporate responsibility initiatives for the fashion and beauty industries.
Consumer buying behavior is much more complex than it seems. Each of us is easily influenced by various factors and motivations we aren’t usually aware of. How can we find motivation in our physical beauty, skincare, and wardrobes that empowers us? I believe the best form of beauty and fashion is the one that helps us reach our fullest potential and get on our new level of inner “glow up.” This paper explores the motivational side of consumer fashion and beauty, reveals the hidden underlying correlations, and suggests additional long-term value created by fashion and beauty.
Empowering Yourself Through Fashion and Beauty
Indeed, researchers argue that dressing consciously improves apparent performance, influences approachability and trustworthiness, and allows for more accurate impressions about personality and background. Office employees suffer from the negative effects of inappropriate and standard dressing and compensate for their sensitivity with awkward body language modifications. The dyadic structure of self-me-me connects us with fashion and beauty and personal entelechy. Therefore, people use these moments to reflect on their self-discovery period or self-realization journey, personalize or reflect current desires and aspirations, endorse self-reinforcement and personal/professional empowerment, or validate the sense of belonging to the inner unique tribe. The psychological benefit from choosing styles associated with a given association or audience is itself a component of higher order belonging in the form of a visual community.
Every morning, we play a role in the production of one of the most significant elements that determine our behavior and social interaction throughout the day. People are obsessed with fashion brands and take grooming seriously. We aim to look attractive, colorful, slimmer, younger, trendier, and special to enhance our self-esteem and confidence. Purchasing certain fashion products or grooming ourselves in accordance with appropriate choices boosts our confidence by making us feel extraordinary. Fashion and beauty are strategic resources that enable us to reach our hidden potentials by forming a congruent image with ourselves. Beauty, as well as fashion, profoundly impacts personal connections. Sure, you have experienced the extraordinary power of aesthetics on our sexual attraction and the impact of fashion choices on personal acceptance, expressing one’s taste and personality, relationship development and maintenance, self-image, and internal states.
