Some of these are words, symbols, signals, gestures etc.; fashion is also considered a way to express ourselves to the world. While selecting the clothes to wear in the morning, we express our thoughts of the day. This selection is as per the mood at that particular moment. To know the person’s favouritism regarding the style, their back-to-school fashion should be observed.

We notice that some people do not change their style of clothing; they do not change and wear same thing term after term. We can analyse this in two ways:
Negative Aspect:
This shows lack of personal growth and immaturity. If the style is same for long term then this reflects a severe setback.
Positive Aspect:
If we look at it in a positive way, then we can say that the person has selected that particular style as his identity, is matured and contented to express his image, and does not want to change it. It can also mean that by following the same style year after year, he is trying to
Capture the period, which according to him was a great one.

Some people show rapid changes in their back to school fashion. We can analyse this in two ways too:
Negative Aspect: Changing of the styles can be interpreted as going through the disastrous incident and thus totally discarding the old persona and accepting a new one. We should know that all changes are neither good nor bad.
Positive Aspect: The changes denote the acceptance of the challenge of any sort that may come. It also shows his attainment of maturity and new perspective towards the world.

Commonly it is seen that back to school fashion is group based. Everyone in the group is wearing the similar style. If we think about this in a positive way, then it can be interpreted as an acceptance in a social group. It shows that the person is friendly, sociable and mixes with the people easily. When taking this as a negative aspect, we can say that such type of people blindly follow the style of the group without having their own identity.
