Fashion is a popular trend or style. It entails clothes, shoes, make up and jewelry, and has been in existence since times immemorial. But with the advancement in technology, people have much more exposure to the new fashion trends. Those who are interested get the information about the latest design in clothes and accessories. 

Persuaded by adverts, many people especially teenagers are always eager to acquire the latest designs as soon as possible without finding out whether the new acquisition is suitable or not suitable for them.

Scrutinize object first

It is good to be fashion conscious and trendy. But before buying a cloth or accessory, first establish whether it is suitable or not for you (the owner). Reason? Because individuals vary widely in their height, skin colour, complexion and features.

Therefore, a particular type of dress may suit you and not another person. For example, a little lose dress may look very good on a fat person but it may look ungainly on a person with a normal build. Also, white and pastel colours look slightly better on people with a chocolate complexion. What is suitable for which kind of person is a very elaborate topic and is for fashion experts to discuss and decide.

But I would like to draw attention to the fact that before picking up a dress or its accessories, a teenager ought to know as how he or she would look in it. Girls should be particular to see that the dress should cover their bodies modestly. Apart from being trendy, the clothes should also be comfortable on the person.

Same thing applies to cosmetics. Before using cream and lipstick, one ought to see that it should suit their skin texture and should not cause any allergy.

It is very important to give attention to the foot wear. Shoes worn ought to be very comfortable and suitable for walking. Shoes with pointed high heels are responsible for causing backache and pain in the legs. The shape of the shoes should be such that the toes and front portion of the feet fits comfortably into it.

Otherwise some stylish shoes are designed such that they are narrow at the front. When girls wear them for a few hours, they develop pain in the feet. Similarly boys can develop pain and tingling along thighs due to wearing very tight jeans.

Jewellery is also key in complementing a young girl’s outfit. In fact many girls’ ears are pricked while still young.

But one must maintain good hygiene to avoid catching any infection. Precious jewellery is also very expensive and a security risk to wear which explains why most girls and women wear artificial jewellery. However, many individuals are allergic to plastic or metal used in the jewellery pieces. Therefore if somebody feels any pain or body itching after wearing a necklace, it must be discarded. Very heavy ear rings or danglers can make the ear hole big as they grow up making the ear look ungainly. Therefore it is preferable that young girls wear light ear rings only.

The financial aspect of the fashion trends is an important issue that cannot be ignored. Fashions change very frequently. Catering for the eternal human desire to look good, fashion designers keep on bringing out new designs. It is not wise to spend much on clothes and accessories as once something is brought and hardly worn, the design will change again.

A sensible teenager is the one who dresses up well, in clothes which look good on him/her, and are comfortable, while keeping it within limits of one’s budget.
