because the music allows us to express who we really are.

When looking back over the past 50 years, you can see what great influence that the popular recording artist have on peoples views of fashion. Everywhere you look, you see new artists with new styles coming up everywhere, and those styles are taken on by everyday people to create our modern day looks. Of course, there will always be the outrageous garment styles of Lady Gaga and such artist, but when taking a deeper look into the fashion worn by the music industry, you could see various styles that could easily become your own.

Taylor Swift has quickly became a role model for young women everywhere, but its not just her song lyrics that people notice. Everywhere Taylor Swift is seen, she always has a sense of class amongst herself. She is never seen as "trashy" or "out-of-line" by the public, much like other young recording artist around her age. She always seems to use a natural and simple make up choice to match her classy style.  At the young age of 20, she has already been pictured on some of fashion's leading magazines, such as Elle, Marie Claire, and In Style. She is proving to people everywhere that she is here and not about to leave anytime soon.

 

Another favorite of mine in the sense of fashion and music would be Rihanna. Coming into the industry looking like another one of the pop-music girls, she has quickly made her mark by standing out as a a leader in upcoming and current fashion. After her incident with ex boyfriend Chris Brown, I have been able to see a difference in her style choices. Her fashion has seemed to be more out of the box and with a small sense of not caring what others may seem to be thinking. With her vibrant new hair color and new fashion choices, she is quickly becoming a trendsetter and a top leader in the music industry.

And finally, when looking at the men of the music industry, John Mayer has always been a favorite of mine when observing fashion. He tends to come off with the boy next door mixed with a bad boy attitude. The addition of a full length sleeve on his left arm helps give John Mayer a rough looking edge. When attending a John Mayer concert or in any of his recent magazine photo shoots, he is always seen wearing casual attire. Whether it is a sports coat paired with jeans or a loose fitting t-shirt, jeans, and a bandana around his head, his style is something that could be worn by guys everywhere with out trying too hard.
