Peer pressure, but you pay for it and call it taste.
means The style, trend, or way of dressing and behaving that a culture currently treats as desirable or correct.
from From Old French 'façon' (make, manner, shape), tracing back to Latin 'factio' and ultimately 'facere' — 'to do or make.' So fashion originally just meant 'the way a thing is made.' Over centuries it narrowed from any manner of making or doing something to specifically the socially approved manner of dress and appearance — the 'making' shifted from objects to selves.
