More eighties throwbacks have hit the shops recently, with countless teenage girls “layering” up with leggings.
At first, it was mostly with miniskirts. The intention was to make the legs less noticable (especially if they weren’t exactly thin), and to keep warmer.. but mostly the first. Although, there always is the celebrity influence, which so many […]
When Summer rolls around, your average teenage girl is looking forward to the arrival of summer skirts in stores.
Unfortunately, this year’s summer skirts have been predominantly replaced, by summer dresses. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing in itself, these dresses only look good on a minority of the population… and for those who really […]
Such a pretty way to do one’s fringe, and it only requires a few bobby pins. What more could you want?
Perhaps the craze of putting one’s hair in a quiff originated when someone decided their hair looked rather shapeless flat, or perhaps it began when someone pulled their fringe back and decided they liked it […]
Another hair accessory that used to be popular, and is back again.
While in somewhat recent years past, the headband was more popular in it’s stretchy fabric form, headbands are back, and the majority are hard, thin, plastic.
Usually black, these are one of the more recent additions to a girls’ hair-drobe.
Wannabe cowboy boots seem to be very popular about now.
Maybe it’s the whole fad of wearing them over skinny jeans, or maybe it was loosely inspired by Jessica Simpson’s single “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” (that is, however, unlikely… unless somebody thought that by wearing the boots they’d look like her).
While they originated from […]
White anything on the bottom half is going into dangerous territory, but white pants are just taking it too far.
Unfortunately, white seems to be one of this year’s colours of choice - not only with the well known “boho” skirts, but with pants ranging from skinny jeans, to trackpants, to shorts. White on the bottom […]
These days, short - usually black - dress shorts are becoming very popular with teenagers - especially those with long, tanned legs.
Appeal is they are versatile, relatively inexpensive (stocked at Glassons for only $24.95), and go well with just about anything… they are also a perfect opportunity to show off long legs, should that be […]
One of the newest fashion “groups” that has formed in the world of teenagers, is that of the emos (emoes?).
Influenced by bands such as Auckland’s False Start, emos are generally seen in black skinny jeans, black Chucks or Vans, and black t-shirts… with their hair cut semi-short in a definite side fringe, and died black.
The […]
Should 2006 be the “Year of the Zebra“? I think so.
With stripes as one of the main trends this year, stores are going overboard to accomodate the teenage love of clothes in this pattern.
However, what makes this different to many other times when stripes have been “in”, is that the traditional thinking of vertical stripes […]
“Gangsta” appears to be one of the latest looks teenagers are trying to achieve.
This look is achieved by the wearing of semi-baggy knee length shorts of some description, along with either a baggy t-shirt if you’re a guy (alternatively, no shirt) or a singlet for a girl - covered by a baggy hoodie. Then either […]
