Fashion Day

July 9 is Fashion Day, celebrated by fashion lovers who want to show off their personal style. Fashion has long been an integral part of American society, as it helps people of different backgrounds express their individuality. On this day, choose your best outfit, shoes, and accessories—and don’t forget to compliment others on their fashion sense.

History

The first Fashion Day in America was held in 2016, making it a relatively new addition to the U.S. cultural calendar. However, the holiday quickly gained popularity thanks to social media, where people share their fashionable looks. This day can also be seen as a statement against mainstream fashion dictated by big corporations and designer houses. Fashion Day is especially popular among the LGBTQ+ community, where clothing and makeup serve as a means of self-expression.
