In recent years, men's and women's fashion has become increasingly homogenous, with many individuals adopting a unisex style. This essay shall explore the reason for this phenomenon, along with offering my opinion that this trend is negative for society.
One of the primary reasons for an increasingly androgynous fashion is the rise of global fashion corporations that have encouraged homogeneity in style. International clothing companies, seeking to maximize profits, mass-produce standardised designs that can be worn by either gender, and these are aggressively marketed across continents. The convenience of such clothing, such as jeans and hoodies, appeals to consumers worldwide; however, this convenience comes at the cost of variety since local designers and traditional artisans cannot compete with the economies of scale on which multinational firms capitalize. With global advertising and online platforms promoting the same unisex models, societies inevitably absorb these patterns, leading to a narrowing of choice in both men's and women's wardrobes.
This shift, however, is damaging in two distinct ways in that it erodes cultural heritage and stifles individual expression. Clothing has long been a symbol of identity, with traditional garments such as the cheongsam in China or the kimono in Japan showcasing femininity, while men's suits and robes represent forms of masculinity. When these styles vanish in favour of universal streetwear, communities lose the cultural continuity that garments once preserved. At the same time, unisex fashion discourages experimentation with colour, design, and form, meaning that creativity gives way to conformity, causing society to become visually monotonous rather than vibrant, an outcome that could be considered reductive instead of modern.
In conclusion, globalized corporatism has imposed a uniform fashion code that undermines both cultural traditions and personal creativity, and so overall, in my opinion this development should be regarded as negative since it erases meaningful distinctions between the sexes while narrowing the richness of human expression.
近年来，男性与女性的服饰风格正变得越来越趋同，许多人都会选择中性穿搭风格。本文将探讨这一现象背后的原因，并阐述笔者观点：这种趋势对社会而言是消极的。
中性化服饰风格日益盛行的主要原因之一，是全球时尚集团的兴起推动了服饰风格的同质化。为实现利润最大化，国际服装企业大规模生产男女皆可穿着的标准化服饰，并在全球范围内大力推广。牛仔裤、连帽卫衣这类服饰的便捷性，吸引了世界各地的消费者；但这种便捷性的代价是服饰多样性的缺失 —— 本土设计师与传统手工艺人难以与跨国企业所依赖的规模经济相抗衡。随着全球广告与线上平台持续推广同款中性服饰，各个社会难免会受其影响，最终导致男性与女性的衣橱选择范围不断缩小。
然而，这种转变会从两个明显的方面产生危害：其一，它会侵蚀文化遗产；其二，它会抑制个人表达。长期以来，服饰都是身份的象征 —— 中国的旗袍、日本的和服等传统服饰彰显着女性气质，而男士西装与长袍则是男性气质的一种体现。当这些特色服饰被通用的街头服饰取代而逐渐消失时，社群便会失去服饰曾经承载的文化延续性。与此同时，中性服饰风格会阻碍人们在色彩、设计与款式上的尝试，这意味着创造力会让位于趋同性，最终导致社会在视觉上变得单调乏味，而非充满活力。从这一角度来看，这种结果并非 “现代化” 的体现，反而可被视为一种 “简化”（甚至倒退）。
综上所述，全球化的企业集团推行了一套统一的服饰标准，这一标准既损害了文化传统，也削弱了个人创造力。因此，笔者认为，这种发展趋势总体上应被界定为消极的 —— 它不仅消除了男女服饰间具有意义的差异，还缩减了人类表达自我的丰富维度。
