Trends in clothing
Fashion is the prevailing style in dress, behavior, or way of life at a given time.
What's in fashion changes constantly—last year's fashion is this year's embarrassment.
The word extends beyond clothing to any domain with trends: the fashion for open floor plans.
As a verb, to fashion something is to make or shape it: She fashioned a crown from wildflowers.
After a fashion means in a rough or imperfect way.
