Fashion Forward: What Teens are using ... and why
It will surprise no one that Lori, 13, usually wakes up at 6:00 am for plan your outfit for the day. Or often checks with his two closest friends. However, according to Fontaine * Tracy, a New York City, primary school teacher, in about a year or so, she may well stop doing that.
"In middle school children want to be like everyone else," he said. "They want to fit in with the crowd, not stand out. Very often, at the time they reach high school, are more willing to diversify and become more independent in their thinking - and how they dress. They usually have a larger peer group and more defined interests. "
For mothers whose children only Abercrombie polo or wear a particular style of Levi's jeans, which can be hard to believe. And while the conduct can not disappear completely (Hey, so he has never coveted / spent or saved for a particular designer label?) teens sometimes feel they have more options as they age.
One reason may be that children are safer, do not feel the need to stick as closely to what they think others want to use-are more likely to opt so they want to go.
"There are so many influences today is hard to know where or how children get their ideas," he admitted a mother in Westchester. Trends move so quickly, television programs, celebrities, movies, stars of rap - it is difficult for adults to follow.
It is equally difficult for the teenagers at times. "My friends and I enjoy reading fashion magazines to see what's out there, but we like to look at certain sites web-wear clothing, but also show pictures of celebrities and other things, "admits Diana, 14." Every season there are usually these shows very influential and you kind? their signals from there. "But he also admits it is difficult to support themselves financially, as well as wisely." You can not buy everything, " he laments. "But for some people is very important and they, like, judging if you take things wrong."
James, 15, most of which has poles and pants or jeans, says he likes Abercrombie shirts not only because it is fashionable, but because he likes the range of colors and place. He swears that if blindfolded, could tell the difference between your favorite shirt and a different brand. (We still have to test it.)
Some brands seem to have enormous staying power (Anyone uggs?), But the bet is also increased steadily, as the teenagers aspire to a new Marc Jacobs bags or the newest style of Juicy this or 'food junk 'that. Characters from television shows like "Gossip Girl" are exceedingly aware of fashion, which often translates into real life. (No matter that the show is a fantasy, as noted by a number of mothers.) There seems to matter - are the arbiters of cool, and cool often means labels state and high prices.
In an era when entire magazines devoted to shopping or what celebrities are wearing, it's hard not to be assaulted by it each step, and for adolescents, and insecurity, of feeling like they have to follow along to fit in.
Many children, especially girls - find trying to keep abreast of presentation will be very stressful (as do their parents, thank you very much.).
"Sometimes I wish I got me a uniform! "Admitted a shy girl. But the children want to be in the know, which is perceived as hip and aware, to stay ahead, or at least the final group close behind - of what defines the look of the moment. For things like the life of adolescents is often in their struggle to figure out who they are and how they want to be perceived.
But pity the poor parents, for whom trends often have unintended consequences:
"Never mind the layered look that my daughter gets in" a suburban Connecticut, says the mother. "But the problem is that means more laundry!"
