People's Choice Awards List of Winners

Now that awards season is underway in Los Angeles, the red carpet fashion competition is on. And after Wednesday night's People's Choice Awards, let's just say things can only get better. While I do agree that a short cocktail dress felt right for the fun, fan-filled evening, it seemed like a memo went out in Hollywood saying, "how short can you go?"

The dresses were skimpy and skimpier. Um, Kristen Stewart in the barely-there gold sequin Reem Acra dress? We know you have sexy legs, you don't have to hit us over the head with it. Other dresses were so ill-fitting, that there was inevitable boob spillage over the top. (The Kardashians are repeat offenders when it comes to this one.)

But there were some people who got it right. My vote for best-dressed of the evening is Emma Roberts, who wore Dior. When you're going to go super-short, it's best to go sweet, not slutty. And she pulled it off beautifully.

Second runner up would be Kate Walsh, who wore a sapphire blue David Meister dress with a softly gathered skirt. (Taylor Swift's pleated chiffon J. Mendel dress was pretty, but the peach color washed her out.)

As for the men, while I applaud Robert Pattison's groovy Dries Van Noten jacket, it seemed a little casual for the occasion. Taylor Lautner gets my vote for best dressed guy, in a black Dolce & Gabbana suit, shirt and tie.

Fashion Sense

Fashion magazine, and new fashions in designer clothes styles has a great impact on us but very few would go out and invest in them. We buy clothes that appeal to our innate sense and we hardly give a passing thought as to why we choose the clothes that we do. Dressing right is more complicated than just putting to pieces of clothing together. Many fashion icon, designers such as Polo Ralph Lauren contribute a lot on everyones fashion sense.

Our dressing habit is influenced by not just our function or job role in the society; it is developed by what we see, feel and experience around us in the course of our life. As we grow and learn to make our own decisions, our sense of dressing evolves and we wear things that make us feel good and help us blend in with our peers.

While individualistic styles are what everybody is talking about, but none of us really like to be so drastic so as to invite unwanted criticism. The common desire is to be able to create a statement without standing out as a different being. This is a very tough task that most of us are trying hard to achieve.

With increasing self-awareness, most of us have also taken up dressing as a weapon of attraction. Our dressing sense is developed by a fair amount of peer pressure and our need to attract others. There is also a certain sexual element in dressing.
