If You Have A Teenager You Know That They Have Their Own Fashion Trends

Posted: Monday, January 18, 2010
If you have a teenager, as I do, you know that teens have their own clothing styles and that having the latest fashion styles is vitally important to them. Teens tend to have their fingers on the pulse of the latest fashion trends, especially girls. Teenage boys these days also have their own style and way of doing things, such as the baggy pants style that has been popular for sometime now wear they wear their pants low revealing their boxer briefs.

The first thought that comes to mind when your child is wearing inappropriate clothing is to just tell them that they are not permitted to wear those kinds of clothes. There is a disturbing fashion trend for very young girls to wear very low cut tops and short skirts or low rise pants that expose their belly buttons. When you couple this with the tops being so low that they are revealing a great deal of cleavage you have a recipe for disaster.

Even though they may not be intentionally doing so, this type of dress exposes them to older boys and men who may be sexually attracted because of the provocative dress. Buy fashion magazines for them and encourage them to explore some of the trends that are not into revealing so much skin. By taking an interest in their fashion trends you can actually create a closer relationship between you, especially if the child is a daughter.

Another situation you need to be aware of is that if your child is in high school their school may have their own rules that limit the wear of certain clothing, I know at our local high school they do not allow the baggy pants style and girls are required to wear their skirts a certain length and may not expose their tummies.

A. What is Costume Jewellery or Fashion Jewellery exactly?
For many people, obviously this can be a very obvious and tedious question because they know what Costume Jewelleries and Fashion Jewelleries are. They can be interpreted as replacements or imitations for real Gem Jewellery, precious metals like Gold, White gold or Sterling Silver with much cheaper prices and at a fraction of costs compared to real ones and therefore the quality of costume/fashion Jewellery is far less inferior than those of real ones called Fine Jewellery, but not so these days.

Then, we have Roman Days and Italian Eras, French Fashion, England and suffice to say the actual fashion came from mostly from Europe and spread through America. Thence, from the 1940s with American Hollywood influence on Europe served big changes in peoples fashion styles and trends and quickly spread back to Europe.

This is when Costume Jewellery really became popular and loved by people because of their quality and diversity. Jewellers like Swarovski, Bvlgari, Christian Dior, Chanel and Tiffany just to name few, have developed and mixed using both natural and man made materials to create fashionable personal adornments with high quality where people can easily and most importantly, afford to coordinate their clothing and life styles.

Hence, they became known as “Costume or Fashion Jewellery”.
These days, there are so many manufacturers produce vast styles and qualities of Costume Jewelleries to suit individual styles and their budget.

B. Teen Jewelry Fashion Exposed
Teenagers are a fickle bunch. Any parental endorsement of fashion accessories is akin to the kiss of death, and adolescents look to other influences when it comes to teen jewelry fashion.

The celebrities that teenagers see in music videos, television programs or movie screens are largely responsible for dictating trends in teen jewelry fashion. The oversized, ostentatious accoutrements favored by rap musicians have spawned the hip-hop jewelry trend, and teenagers have been patronizing lower-priced but accurate replicas of celebrity bling bling. Instead of the diamonds and other precious gems used in celebrity jewelry, cheaper zirconia and base metals are used for duplicates. Body jewelry (both the pierced and non-pierced types) that is unusually designed and made with inexpensive materials has also seen an increase in teenage patrons.

Beaded jewelry and woven friendship bracelets and rings are some of the other hot trends in teen jewelry fashion. Many teenagers also wear certain types of jewelry to identify them as part of a clique or group. Feminine teen jewelry fashion styles are also influenced largely by young celebrities today. Items worn by teen stars, such as Hilary Duff’s slave bracelets, are copied by her non-celebrity counterparts. Gold- or silver-plated jewelry and jewelry that has gemstones has not lost its following among teenagers.

Some masculine teen jewelry fashion trends, on the other hand, tend to lean more toward beadwork, silverwork, leatherwork, and unusual stones. Teenage guys seem to think that sporty-looking accessories, such as so-called surfer-dude necklaces and arm bands made from bone, wood, or shell beads on a rubber or leather cord are cool. Stainless steel jewelry is popular with them, too.

Teenage jewelry fashion is part of their social arsenal and a tool in the development process.
