Wide Waist Belts

“Wide” seems to be a popular accessory descriptor these days.
Many teenagers have now discovered the joys of wide waist belts; thick belts worn at or above the waist to accentuate the slimmer part of one’s figure. The style is back in on the catwalks, back on the celebrities, and now, back in shops and on […]

Bright colours and vivid patterns are the way to go, matching a lot of the tops currently available and selling well, with stripes and spots some of the most popular on display.

Santa Hats

We all know that it’s Christmas, and naturally everyone is getting into things.
Even teenagers (who generally like to stay aloof and appear unexcited) usually get into the spirit of things, but the craze of santa hats in public has been stronger recently than in the past.
It must be the time for everyone to be jolly… […]

Now, he’s a big time hip-hip / RnB singer, originally from Senegal, then New Jersey. He was jailed for armed robbery and other theft charges, but he spent his time in jail working on his music - […]

Aviators

After a few years where they were considered simply a novelty item, aviators are back, and are being worn by many teenagers every day.
They come in different colours, but still the same classic styles; a real throwback to the old days (not that most of us were around back then). This seems to be another […]

V-shaped Skirts

The Office look is back!
Now, instead of the classic “A” frame skirt, it’s an inverted “A” - or as it’s more commonly known - a “V”. The business-like skirts are selling quickly to girls of all ages (who knows why, perhaps a lot of teenagers have holiday jobs at the office?), and in many different […]

Short Denim Shorts

Short shorts have been huge this summer, but so far, in mostly dark fabric.
Now, denim shorts are becoming popular amongst teenagers, and are seen everywhere, in many different sizes, shapes, colours, and styles. They’re a popular alternative to a miniskirt, as they’re easier to run in, and you don’t have to worry about bending over…
Versatility […]

Barkers

While in the past, teenage girls have enjoyed wearing men’s t-shirts, now they seem to like wearing their pants.
The once popular university names and logos on pants have been replaced by the Barkers name. This is often followed by the slogan “Men’s Clothing”, which seems to give some girls a feeling of masculinity. The pants […]

Polo Tops

The traditional male polo top is back! But this time, it’s in for summer … and for the girls as well as the guys.
Fitted polo shirts - usually either plain coloured or horizontally striped -  have become very well-recieved in the market of young teenage girls who do not discriminate clothes based on gender (i.e. […]

Studded Earrings

Studded earrings are back, but not in the plain, boring, standard gold or silver.
Large studs are becoming increasingly popular among teenage girls. Whether they be big fake diamonds or large plastic pearls, they’re one of the latest crazes worn in the earlobes.
Many look cheap, plastic, and manufactured, but it seems that the faker they look, […]
