FASHION ADVICE FOR TEENAGE

Fashion Tips for Teenage Girls

When it comes to style advice for teenage girls, or fashion advice for teenage girls, one needs to be overly cautious. It's not just about making the girl wear the latest clothes. It's about helping her to identify with her inner self and recognizing what is going to help her enhance her best features. Just giving a girl a lecture about what you think is the best for her is not enough. She should be able to relate to what you're saying. And it's not like fashion questions for teenage girls are very difficult to answer. You just need to put yourself in their place, but advice them from the point of view of a person who will be looking at them (literally). So, let's check out some very simple and unfortunately cliché fashion and costume advice for teenage girls.

Stick to Basics
What goes into having a perfect wardrobe that boasts of something nice to wear during every season? What do you need to lay the foundation of a wardrobe so awesome, that you don't need to spend hours agonizing over the dreaded 'what to wear' question? It's the basics! Or essentials if you will. Honestly, there is nothing more simple to understand than the 'stick to basics' philosophy. So what do the basics encompass? Here's a list of some of the items, whose importance and contribution to your wardrobe you should NEVER underestimate.

    Well Fitting Jeans: If you haven't come across a girl who wears jeans that are either so tight, they threaten to explode, or so loose, they look like they're hung on a hanger, then you live in a perfect world. I am yet to find a dictionary in which the word 'fitting' means 'extra-tight-to-the-point-of-tearing-if-worn-when-seated'. Girls, we know you're at an age when the first and last thing on your mind is how you look. So please, refrain from wearing jeans that are too snug or too loose. Flaunt your body, but do it with dignity.
    Tops: T-shirts, tanks, spaghetti straps, the world is your oyster! You need to have these in some really strong colors that will complement your skin tone and your body type. Do not go in for an ill-fitting top. Your upper body needs to breathe, so you need to have something that will facilitate this basic necessity of life. At the same time, having just sweatshirts and loose tees will take away the femininity from your wardrobe. Include smart button-down shirts and classy jackets in neutral colors for the winters.
    Skirts and Shorts: If you know how to look good in shorts, then nothing should stop you from flaunting your legs in the summer. Follow the cardinal rule of not too tight, not too loose for them as well. If you're more of a 'girly' girl, then you need a collection of pretty skirts in varying lengths: short, medium and long. You can team the extremely short ones with leggings, wear the medium ones as they are and heavily accessorize with the long ones for an ultra-chic Boho look!
    Shoes: You need comfortable footwear for ever season. For the summer, flip-flops, slippers, thongs work well. For the winter go with closed shoes like flat pumps or boots. Don't wear extremely high heels. They could lead to other problems later on. For the monsoon, you can have a cute pair of rainy boots.
    Accessories: There is no shortage of fashion accessories for teens. There are so many shops that are bursting with stuff that you can accessorize with. But what you need always is some nice belts, scarves, a nice pair of eyeglasses, some simple jewelry and a perfect attitude to match them.

Once you have the basics of your wardrobe covered, the rest is just psychological.

Be Comfortable
You must have heard this a million times, but that does not dilute its importance. You need to be absolutely comfortable in what you're wearing. Else, all the 'advice' given above or in any other forum that you may read mighty as well be tossed out of the window. Let's put it this way. You like this boy at school and you want to look nice for him. You can dress up in some great trendy teen clothing, but if half of your attention is focused on whether your skirt is too short or your shirt is too transparent, it's going to show on your face, or worse in that oh-so-interesting conversation about dissecting a cockroach that you were having with him. Take it from someone who's had such unfortunate encounters as an adolescent, it will scar you, for the rest of the week, if not for life!
