Discovering our own personal style is a part of the fun of growing up. Remember when you experimented with hair colours, piercings, skinny or baggy jeans, leggings, spandex, fluorescent colours, curly shoe laces, teased hair, etc? Teenage fashion is a time of personal expression. Your teen is going through the same thing you did, just with varying styles. It is important that you allow your teen to discover their own style and fashion sense, but at the same time, there should be limits on what is acceptable and what isn’t.
It may not always be easy to determine what is “in” and what isn’t, but talking to your teen may help you understand why they believe a certain style is fashionable. Some of the styles today may seem outrageous, but it is important to keep in mind that much of it is a form of expression. Talk to your teen about your fashion boundaries and find a happy medium between yours and theirs. Here are some tips for dealing with teenage fashion from sheknows.com
