Glassons was doing a pomotion this year, where you got a free pair of short board shorts with every bikini you bought.
Naturally, this meant that pretty soon, everyone was wearing them. Some were zebra patterned, some with interesting colours and shapes, and others just plain.
“Free - with this purchase” always works.
A walk along the beach this summer would probably have shown a bit of a trend in what was being worn.
Glassons has been leading the craze of the patterned swimwear, with spots and stripes as the main attraction. Teamed with bright colours, how can they not appeal to a generation of teenage girls?
Beaded necklaces are in stores again, but not small beads.
Now, thick, chunky beads are back. Bold, primary colours, as well as plain black are very popular among girls… and the cheap-to-maunfacture necklaces are generally ridiculously overpriced, due to their popularity.
Still, it’s all the name of fashion.
Bebo is a social networking site, very popular among teenagers.
It allows young people (or anyone really) to publish information about themselves (favourite music, schools, interests, location, age) online, for other people to read. Users can write blog entries, create quizzes, and connect with friends to communicate.
The site has become a social phenomenom, but it won’t [...]
Normal cardies were back, and following in their wake is a summer favourite - the cropped cardie.
Some are thick, some are thin, some have large knitted holes in them… but they’re meant for summer, as little more than an accessory so it doesn’t look as though one is expecting the hot weather before it comes [...]
These have soared in popularity recently.
Shortsleeved hoodies have hit, and everyone seems to be wearing them. Green is one of the most popular colours, along with the obvious black and white. Walking down the street, about one tenth of young girls will be wearing short sleeved hoodies of some description.
Unfortunately, these hoodies aren’t great on [...]
Perhaps it’s unpredictable weather, perhaps it’s something else, but voile tops over singlets seem to be very popular this year.
They’re showing up in stores across the country, as well as on the streets… and however useless the voile tops themselves may be, teenage girls certainly like wearing them.
Off the shoulder tops seem to be back in, after a couple of years of relative obscurity.
Some are long sleeved, some are short sleeved, some tight, some loose.. the options are almost endless, but there’s a style of the top to suit everyone, and off the shoulder tops are lining the shelves of clothing stores.
