Teenage Fashion Wear
From LoveToKnow Teens
When it comes to teenage fashion, wear what you love and what flatters your figure to look and feel your best, regardless of current fashion trends.
Teenage Fashion Wear Trends
There will always be trends every season devoted exclusively to teenage consumers. With a budget in mind, it can be hard to flaunt the season's teenage fashion wear trends without breaking the bank. Luckily, there are tips and tricks to staying fashionable and savvy within a realistic teenage budget.
Bargain Shop
Although it can be hard to pass up your favorite designer's seasonal trends, try to stick with the basics and shell out the majority of your cash on classic pieces rather than trendy threads.
For current trends, splurge at discount stores such as Forever 21 or Wet Seal. Geared towards female teens in mind, these stores stock the latest trends at an appealing price. Sometimes you can even score well made silk or wool garments at a shocking value.
Trends vs. Classics
It's best to learn the difference between a trend and a classic piece at a young age. Once you've mastered the knack of stocking your closet with trusty goods, you'll have a timeless wardrobe that will function in both a fashionable and classic sense.
Keep the trends on the racks and consider investing in basics that will carry you through high school and beyond.
Teenage Fashion Wear Basics
A teenage fashion wardrobe consists of a few quality pieces that can be interchanged with one another to create unique and individual looks. Depending on your style, you can add unique accessories and adornments to finish off your outfits.
The following basics are staples that will take you through science class, and pizza after school gatherings:
- Denim jeans: Casual Fridays and comfy days call for a great fitting pair of denim jeans. Stores like the Gap and Abercrombie and Fitch offer a wide variety of denim in several different washes for both girls and guys. For a timeless look, go with a slimming dark denim rinse. For the budget conscience shopper, keep an open mind and shop thrift stores for the perfect pair.
- Black skirt: Gals need a black skirt for date night and special events at school, such as chorus performances or clubs. A fitted A-line skirt with a slight flare is the most flattering shape for all sizes.
- White button up shirt: It's a basic for guys and gals that pairs well with your denim, trousers, and for girls, your skirts. Buy one and wear it under sweaters or open cardigans for a classic layered look.
- Tanks and tees: These wardrobe staples can be bought on the cheap and are a necessity for layering under cardigans and sweaters.
- Boots: A trusty pair of boots are a must have for seasonal cool weather. Choose a quality leather if the budget allows for long term wearability. Guys should look for mid-height boots that have a comfy lug sole. Girls may choose a high boot to pair with textured tights and socks.
- Black pumps: For the girls, black pumps can work with skirts or denim to dress up an otherwise casual outfit. Invest in one pair of black pumps and take care of them to avoid scuff marks.
- Athletic shoes: Every teen needs a comfy pair of running shoes for P.E. and errands. If you have the tendency to wear your shoes hard, choose a dark color that will help disguise stains and wear.
- Hoodie: A classic solid color hoodie is a must have for warding off the chill at the movies or in your first class.
- Cable sweater: A cable knit cardigan sweater offers the same cozy appeal as a hoodie with a finished edge. Wear a cable knit sweater over a black skirt, or with denim jeans and pumps for a timeless and classic edge. Guys can sport a cable cardi with trousers and athletic shoes for an all-American, always appealing, conservative look. Perfect for date night!
Keep you wardrobe current each season by buying a few must have trendy pieces. In the meantime, your basics will carry you through every trend while serving up classic style.
