What to wear?
One of the biggest shocks when
you arrive in a new country can be the clothes people are wearing. You may look
fashionable at home, but you suddenly find you are behind the times
or simply someone to laugh at when you arrive abroad. With this in mind, let's
take a look at teenage fashion in the UK for girls.
One of the things that may
shock an outsider most is piercings. These days it is not enough to
simply wear rings in your ears. You will see many teenagers with rings in their
navel, or belly button, nose, lip, or even their eyebrow. Ouch!
Some girls go for a 'glam'
look. They wear T-shirts; trousers are usually referred, blue or black, and
the look is finished off with metallic bags and shoes and arms full of
bracelets. Another alternative is the 'rocker' look. You start with a
T-shirt of your favourite band and tight jeans or a long skirt. On top of this
you can wear a denim jacket. Jewellery tends to be large and metallic,
and to add colour, wear a scarf.
If neither of these is for
you, why not go 'sporty'? T-shirts are usually tie-dyed in hot colours.
Wear long shorts, short jeans or a denim skirt. And on your feet? Beach sandals,
of course! If you prefer something more feminine, there's the 'girly' look.
Skirts are long, to the floor. Wear a top with butterflies or flowers printed
on it!
Finally, how about the 'Tom
Boy' look? Wear flared jeans and a T-shirt with a logo. Don't forget
your waistcoat, of course!
Follow the fashion tips above,
and you shouldn't feel out of place. However, it's important to remember
to wear clothes and choose a look that you feel comfortable with. Don't just be
one of the crowd - be yourself!
