Being a teenager is more and more often associated with looking fashionably, but don't go too far towards elegance. The most important thing is to look original, feel comfortable and experiment from time to time. What to start with?
Not the label, but the colours matter
'Clothes do not make the man' – this proverb comes true when you achieve the first success, get promoted or get a raise. Till then it's worth to take care of making a good first impression and acquire some good dressing habits that will make your life easier. Clothes from famous brands have the power, obviously. However, you don't have to look like an advertisement post just to be trendy. The priority is to discover the strength of the colours. They can attract the sight as well as the labels and don't arouse jealousy. Don't limit yourself to black and grey. Navy blue also is suitable to teenagers, as well as the shades of blue, green or red. It's good to have your favourite colour and to know which variations are fancy. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do that. All you have to do is go shopping and try on T-shirts in different colours to find out which ones underline the eyes, hair colour or skin complexion.
Learning about colours can be very useful. Try out a colour circle that can quickly match you with the colours which fit you. Create them to use amazing stylings. It's simpler than the multiplication table.
Perfect trousers for a teenager
A teenager should have a men's suit in his wardrobe – it's only for special events. A universal casual outfit with sporty or street elements would be better for everyday use. Another thing is a pair of jeans, preferably the slightly-fitted cut with stonewashing, shading, stitchings or trendy sew-ons. Fantastic models can be found in shops, but you can also boost them up yourself. Tips on doing that are widely accessible in the Internet. It usually takes one afternoon to create a unique and original thing. Navy blue or blue jeans are universal. Replace your pair with other models if you like. Skinnies are becoming more and more popular. However, it can turn out that colourful and modern cargo trousers, denim joggers and baggy joggers will be even a better option. A long trouser leg can be replaced by a short one in late spring or in summer. All you have to do is choose textile shorts or denim ones. Comfy sweatpants can also come out as a bull's eye, but maybe it's better to keep them for PE classes.
The best men's shirts
Long sleeve shirts and polo shirts are great, but they can wait. A teenager look is more about T-shirts and longsleeves. They can have a classic crew neck, cool colours and eye-catching prints. You can use whatever it takes to look good. An expressive T-shirt can add the X factor to every styling. A printed one looks great both under a sweatshirt, a flannel shirt, a denim jacket or a jumper. Don't hesitate to wear it with a blazer and jeans or on a date.
It's best to choose the less formal ones in more intensive colours. For example, checked shirts with a dashing collar and trendy elbow patches.
Sweatshirts – teenagers' best friend
A teenager should have a bestseller hoodie in his wardrobe. The perfect ones are made from soft cotton, they fit well and work great during PE classes, casually and after school. While making the selection, you should pay attention to details and colours. A hoodie can be equipped with an overprint, but the one only with colourful inserts are also a good choice. Hoodies look fantastic with diagonal raglan sleeves in contrasting colours. Grey or black models can be brightened up by colourful zippers or drawstrings.
It's surely worth investing in a classic hoodie with a practical kangaroo pocket. Additionally, it's good to have z zipped one. Try also out an oversized hoodie that provides a modern character. Moreover, there are the ones with asymmetric details, a large hood, unusual back or shoulder prints.
Outerwear – not only lightweight jackets
A men's jacket may seem to protect against cold, rain and win. However, a properly matched model can also hugely boost up a simple outfit. In autumn and winter, the best choice for a teenager is a warm parka jacket with a furry hood. Another interesting proposition is a shorter quilted jacket in expressive colours. In spring and early autumn, you can place a bet on lighter quilted jackets, as well as on trendy bomber jackets or quilted men's vests, which look amazing with jeans, a T-shirt and a checked shirt or sweatshirt.
Shoes and accessories do matter
If it comes to shoes, trainers are the perfect teen choice for every day. They fit to sweatshirts, jeans, jumpers, stylings with shorts and a T-shirt. It's also good to invest in light plimsolls and very popular sneakers. They usually have a higher upper part, interesting colours and they provide a modern and streetwear character.
Among accessories, a backpack should be enough. You can optionally choose a cap, sunglasses or you can think about men's jewellery.
