I am fairly certain that style is often dictated by the people selling it and the people who feel compelled to buy it because it is new, or touted as in.
How else could they sell new refrigerators all the time, or new televisions? They have to convince people there is a reason.
The same is true for hair. If everyone quit dying their hair, or cutting it, what would happen to all the people who make hair dye and scissors and all the stylists who work on it?
There really isn't anything wrong with this as long as you realize it is not really necessary. It might be fun, but unless you want it, just skip it.
I have a couple of things I wore for thirty or more years because they were well made, thoughtfully cut and I loved them. People used to do this all the time. Expensive coats, dresses and suits might be taken in, or let out, but they weren't tossed.
I know people who change their cell phones like socks, but unless you need it to do something different I don't understand why. I am not a gamer, so I used my first apple phone for nearly six years.
It's not that I'm frugal. I go through nice purses frequently. I just love the style, or color, or size, or something about them. The very best ones are packed carefully in my closet. The rest I give away.
I'm just not into the other stuff right now. Most of us are not made of money, so we have to choose our habits carefully.
