In modern sociey, fashion is a driving force in our society. I believe women have used this to their advantage in countless ways during history and currently today. As I said previously, clothing today has become more risque and baring. There is not as much covering up like there used to. It is one the opposite side of the spectrum when compared to "traditional" or modest clothing. Instead of women wanting people to focus on their intelligence, they want all of society to see their body. It has become their way to success. I mean don't lie. Most people would choose someone in a revealing outfit over a person in a frumy oversized one. It just is human nature. Women use this to their advantage. I am not sure if this is necessarily good or bad. Women are degrading how society views them. At the same time, they are defying what barriers were in front of them. Either way women have proven to effectively use fashion to make a point in society. I think that women are the driving force behind the huge factor of fashion in making important points. They have given it the ability to be used as a form of individuality and use of saying who they are or how they want society to see them. They have altered how it affects society and given it its' effectiveness in society today.
