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. Keep up to date with the latest trends through magazines or a quick surf online.
Jeans are a great basic because they can be worn so many ways. Add a t-shirt, sweater or plain shirt for that casual look along with sneakers or flat shoes. Dress up these jeans with a camisole top,Jacket or your favourite blouse and don’t be afraid to get the high heels out.
Other key wardrobe pieces are tank tops, turtlenecks, khakis, shorts, slacks, skirts, sundresses and blazers. As the seasons change so will the colors of the items. Don’t worry about skirt lengths as short or long tend to stay in fashion at all times.
Because styles change so quickly, the quality of girls clothes is not as important. 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. What you wear can be an expression of your personality. You can find jeans in a multitude of colours. Some have decorative rivets, while others display fancy embroidered designs. The way you arrange the pockets can be a decorative statement.
Round neck or v-neck it doesn’t matter, your T Shirt can be solid plain color. It can be striped or patterned. Display a message, either for or against a cause, or just saying something amusing. The fun about T shirts is you can decide in the style you wear it as to the message you’re trying to portray.
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. Yo may find this a bad tradeoff, it all depends on what you intend to do while wearing them. It’s important to try on both shoes as all of us have one foot bigger than the other.
Shoe material can be cloth, plastic, imitation leather or the real thing. Leather shoes are usually the most expensive, but they last the longest. Shoes can be a big investment so choose wisely and consider if they will stay in fashion long and also if they are ideal for your wardrobe.
The handbag or purse is an important accessory. Matching your purse to your shoes? forget it and go wild, modern day fashion does not require a match. 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. A belt pouch is ideal if you have an active day planned. No longer just for athletes, these come in an array of styles and colors like other purses. When the time comes accessorise, spice up your look with jewellery, hats, gloves, belts etc…
