Ethnic Influences

Throughout the world in every country there are fashion designers, all who have certain styles and certain influences by their own country and others as well. American designers are extremely influenced by ethnic countries, such as Japan, Africa, and India. Cultural trends, styles, colors, and accessories have swamped the fashion runways of the United States, usually without any realization from its consumers.

One of the most popular ethnic trends that I have seen in American fashion is the use of bangles. Girls all over the country are wearing bangles; it started with numerous thin gold or silver bangles, and has now become much more popular with the new sizes, shapes, colors, and materials. Bangles have been worn for ages by women of India.

Another popular ethnic trend that has been seen in American fashion is chandelier earrings. Over the past few years, earrings have been getting larger and larger, which is one of the reasons why chandelier earrings have become so popular, because of their large size. They are made in different colors, sizes, and lengths that have been a huge hit in American fashion. Chandelier earrings in America were also influenced by Indian women.
