Fashion Influence — how style shapes, and is shaped by, the people who wear it
This is the letter-N index of the Fashion Products guide. Its three N product guides are linked directly below, in the chip list at the top of this page, followed by the letter's introduction.
Fashion Products N
Are you easily influenced or are you a trend setter that moves to the beat of a different drummer? Possibly you are one of those people that dictate fashion to society.
On this page you will find clothes, shoes, or fashionable accessories that begin with the letter "N". People are influenced by many different things. In regard to clothing, we are influenced by fashion magazines, social media, red carpet events, movies, music videos and a wide assortment of other factors. Learn more about a few of the clothes categories that have an influence on our industry and consumers.
Is their a particular era of fashion that
influences your clothing decisions? Maybe you are a fan of the 1960's.
Fashion Influence - Fashion Products - Fashion Products M-R
N is the smallest letter index in this part of the Fashion Products guide, and the most single-minded: its three guides are all forms of novelty clothing, garments whose value lies in the joke, the picture or the license printed on them rather than in cut, cloth or construction. Nintendo Clothing is the licensed branch, shirts and apparel carrying game characters and hardware nostalgia from a company whose systems, from the 1985 NES through the Game Boy line to the Wii, put Mario and Zelda into tens of millions of homes. Novelty Socks shrink the same idea to the smallest canvas in the wardrobe, while Novelty T-Shirts give it the largest everyday one.
The pair of novelty guides repay reading together. Both define novelty the same way — the quality of being new, original or unusual — and both note the built-in limit of the idea: a joke seen repeatedly loses its novelty, and a design's humor has to suit the setting it will be worn in, from workplace to family photograph. The socks guide answers with variety, licensed characters, cartoons, comics and bands in bright colors, and points readers toward sock history and manufacturing; the t-shirts guide adds the maker's route, screen printing for runs of shirts and digital printing for small quantities.
Three guides make a short letter, but a complete one: whatever N word in this part of the guide a reader arrives with, its guide is in the chip list at the top of this page, exactly once, and the introduction below sets the letter in the guide's wider account of influence — the magazines, screens and eras that quietly choose much of what everyone wears.
Three guides: Nintendo Clothing, Novelty Socks and Novelty T-Shirts, each linked in the chip list at the top of this page.
Play. All three guides are about clothing as fun and self-expression: licensed game clothing, socks designed with bright colors and jokes, and printed t-shirts whose whole purpose is novelty.
Fashion magazines, social media, red carpet events, movies, music videos and a wide assortment of other factors influence clothing choices, and this page also asks whether a particular era of fashion influences the reader's own decisions.
