Television has a great impact in our lives and whatever is shown on tv directly and indirectly affects us. Most of today’s trends and life styles have been chosen as they have been shown on tv and we love to follow whatever is shown. I am an older person and have grown with television. TV has progressed very fast and it has grown very big in half a century but the costumes worn by women have become smaller and shorter. They want to look sexy and attractive by wearing small size costumes on tv which reveal their skin more than seems necessary. Just take a look at these to see what I mean www.70s-fancydress.com
This trend started in the 70s and continued to grow gradually into 80s as well. But when the private channels started mushrooming, the costumes became sexier day by day.
You will ask me what do I mean by sexy because sexy, charming, attractive etc all are relative terms and in every region of the world these words have different meanings and different impacts upon viewers. In India showing naked tummy on tv may not be bad but the same thing in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country may not be tolerated by the viewers of a tv channel. Similarly cleavage showing on a Russian tv channel may be a good thing but may not be at all acceptable in Pakistan. So women wearing costumes on tv channels are well aware of their limitations which are due to the religion, customs or local traditions.
The costumes worn on tv are the trend setters for the fashion industry. Ladies watch other women on tv and then go for the same fashion. Same is true with men and kids. The fashion divas spend lots of money and time on their costumes before appearing in tv shows and programs because they know that their fans worldwide shall be looking at them and watching their trends which subsequently shall be followed by them in real life.
But one thing is common with the modern women. They come on tv or appear in magazines, their life styles have become highly trendy and their costumes have become very revealing and sexy. As I said earlier it is a relative term but in today’s world and in every culture, the costumes worn on tv by todays women are sexy by any standards.
