Finding Your Fashion Style
Girls and teens want to look sharp and fashion forward. Fashion
trends change every season, but there are certain basic items of
girls clothes that everyone wants in their wardrobe. Key pieces
can be combined to create many different looks. While denim
jeans are a staple in most wardrobes, the style of jeans changes
regularly. While low rise jeans with straight legs may have been
popular in 2005, within a year or so a high waisted jean with
wide legs may be the fashion. While each teen may choose her own
style and not care about what is popular, the current trendy
styles are what will be found in the stores. To know what is in
fashion, either start shopping at your favorite local mall or
read fashion magazines.
Jeans are a great basic because they can be worn so many ways.
For casual wear, add a t-shirt, sweater or plain shirt with
sneakers or flat shoes. The same jeans can also be dressed up
nicely with a fancy blouse or a camisole with a jacket and
heels.
Other key wardrobe pieces are tank tops, turtlenecks, khakis,
shorts, slacks, skirts, sundresses and blazers. The styles and
colors of these items will also change from season to season.
Skirt lengths go up and down, with both a short skirt and a
longer style usually in fashion at the same time.
The quality of girls clothes makes less difference because
styles change so quickly. Girls will tire of their clothes long
before they wear out, so pick what you like that fits your
budget and don't worry about durability. Even so, check the
label for laundry instructions. Washable clothes are easier and
cheaper to maintain than dry clean only.
Experiment to find your own style
One of the nicest things about teen apparel (and of being a
teenager in general) is the freedom to experiment. Even the
simplest outfit of jeans and a t-shirt can be an expression of
the wearer's personality. Jeans now come in an array of colors.
Some have decorative rivets, while others display fancy
embroidered designs. Even the way the pockets are arranged can
be a decorative
element.
A t-shirt can be a plain solid color with a round neck or a
v-neck. It can be striped or patterned. It can display a
message, either for or against a cause, showing off its
manufacturer or just saying something amusing. Thus the t-shirt
can be a fashion statement, a personal statement or a political
statement - you choose.
But the biggest part of the teen apparel experiment comes
through accessories. These can be found in department stores and
clothing shops as well as in specialty stores that carry nothing
else. When selecting shoes, fit and comfort may be sacrificed to
style. This may not be a good tradeoff depending on what
activities you plan to pursue while wearing them. Be sure to try
on both shoes as most people have one foot that is slightly
larger than the other.
Shoes can be made of leather, imitation leather, cloth and other
materials. Leather shoes are usually the most expensive, but
they last the longest. Before making a big investment in shoes,
think about how long you believe they will suit your taste,
style and wardrobe and how long you might want to keep wearing
them.
The handbag or purse is another great accessory. Modern style
gurus no longer require matching your purse to your shoes, so go
wild. Get a giant bag or a mini-backpack for everyday wear so
you can carry all of your stuff. Pick a tiny, shiny bag for that
night on the town. As long as it's big enough for your keys,
lipstick, money and cellphone, it will work. If you plan an
active day, forget the bag and go for a belt pouch. No longer
just for athletes, these come in an array of styles and colors
like other purses. And when you're ready to get fancy, remember
that you can add jewelry, gloves, hats, scarves and more to
personalize your look completely.
