Clothing Must Haves?

Q. I like to dress cute and cool yet trendy all at once, but not look too preppy because everyone in my school dresses like that, and i really don't want to.
What are some things that would be good for an unique yet still "teen" friendly style?
Like types of clothes\shoes (ex: white collared blouse, black ankle boots etc.)

I have a few things, like a lot of skinny jeans and graphic tees, along with leggings.
But any specific things?
Like maybe a collared boyfriend shirt?
Please help me!
Thanks a lot!

A. Visit websites like Forever 21, Piperline, EXPRESS, and see anything there you like? Try to mix & match. Like Black gray for instance can go with the following.
Maroon
White
Beige
Yellow
Turquoise
Green
Blue
Pink
Black
Orange
Purple
Lavender
Chartreuse
Any colors of the rainbow. Mix, match, combine them. My favorite is ANYTHING black & white (plaids, stripes, zebra, etc. . . ) and a touch of color. Pairing something hard to something soft. Ex: a leather jacket with something like cocktail dress, gives new meaning to any look. Boost deep burgundy with fiery red. Chartreuse adds an electric punch to cool blues.
Have you seen Jessica Parker wore white Blahnik shoes, pink pants & red top and this was AFTER Labor Day. Fashion is supposed to be fun, risky, daring, and gives you enough confidence.

Mix what you've got from last season to this season.

Any color pants, match them with the SAME COLOR pants, skirts, etc.

Do the funky colors, match them with the same funky color tops, etc.

Solids goes with mixing or matching the same solid color tops, etc.

Or do the opposite, mixing them with DIFFERENT colors.
Red jeans, red shirt. THEY MATCHED.

OR

Blue jeans & red jeans. They're MIXED.

Or denim & denim anything.

Or polyester & polyester type of fabric.

OR denim with polyester something.

Wear a hat that matches with your jeans.

Socks that matches with your hat. Like in Piperline's or H&M's latest 2012 Fall Trend: Color clashing. Everything looking like Spring had sprung! Green jacket, yellow top, blue pants. Yellow skinny jeans, yellow dresses and yellow skirts. A lot of solids in bright colors!

Visit Marshall's for example: For $88: you could buy 2 skirts, jeans, 3 tops, a box of chocolates & a bag of cookies @ Marshall's.
They're stacking up for Back to School, now. The key is mix & match, buy your favorite colors, so you can easily match or mix whatever in your closet. They're 35% less, from Macy's or other department stores, because they've been rejected by Quality Controllers, but you as the consumer won't know what that is. I can afford Saks or Nordstrom's, but I'm also frugal, and that's one of my favorite stores to buy newer items, to mix with other stores bought @ Nordstrom's.
The idea is to mix & match.

I could go on a million more times, I just don't have the time.

What shoes are popular for 2012/now?

Q. I really want to get new shoes I have

I have
sperrys
converse
vans
short boots
tall boots

I was thinking toms maybe? minnetonkas? uggs?

A. I like how you're very into fashion and want to have trending shoes coming into the New Year- Brianna!!

Toms look quite nice and casual (depending on what colour of shoes you buy), but I think they are more for Spring/Summer. I don't think they will be very good at insulating your feet from the cold. (The material that Toms are made out of seem similar to canvas pumps that I wore recently out, which resulted in extremely cold feet.) I don't think you should buy Toms!

I don't like really like the look of Minnetonkas. However, I would buy the shorter Minnetonkas than the taller ones, as you see less of the may vertical string things which I don't like.

They seem to go well with skinning jeans, dark pairs of leggings and tights with jeans shorts, which are fashionable these days.

Out of all three I would by Uggs. They are very trendy (when I'm out and about I always see so many people wear them) and they are very cosy and good for keeping your feet warm.


However if you are type of person that likes to stand out from the crowd and dress up differently to others, when it comes to fashion, Minnetonkas may be the way forward, instead of Uggs. I don't see many people wearing them, so you would certainly stand out!

I Googled Minnetonkas and found a picture of Kate Moss wearing them, so for a model to be wearing them, it mustn't be that ugly!

Maybe you should also buy a pair of black flat shoes or black shoes with a small heels, for formal outfits.

Fall 2012-2013 Fashion Trend for middle school?

Q. Ive always been a dork all my life wearing ugly clothes till about 6th grade (still pretty dorky) 7th grade i caught on to the fashion trends at my school but it took some time. Now that im entering 8th grade i kinda of want to be stocked up on the seasons fashion trends. So does anyone know what it will be this fall?
last school year were:
- tribal print
- toms
- VS yoga pants
- Uggs
- Pencil Skirts
- Hollister
- Abercrombie
- Aero
- Flowy shirts
Thats about it oh and vans and converse shoes. So pleade tell me what vlothing i should buy for this fall? :) Thank you

A. I work at hollister and our back-to-school clothes aren't even for sale yet! They go out on Saturday. So it's hard to tell yet. I would say skinny jeans/jeggings in bright colors (trendy) but dark wash is always good and easier to pull off (classic, can wear forever) because I know that the dark wash jeans and bright jeans are going to be sold for back-to-school but my manager didn't tell us anything else =\ so it's hard to say on tops yet.

My advice is to not "stock up" at the beginning of the year. Trends will change once winter starts and then once spring begins. You'll want to save some shopping money for then too!

But fitted scoop neck t-shirts in solid colors are always in-style. Also, a cami with a cardigan or hoodie is a classic in-style look. If you shop at hollister, aero, american eagle, and pacsun you'll be "in style" and you can pick whatever is there that you like and that looks good on you! :) shopping at forever 21 is cheaper but I find that their shirts fall apart really easily and there are some reallyyyy funky things there that are weird, and if you don't have a good sense of what is "in" then shopping there could make you end up with an odd closet haha.
I wish I had more of an answer but I won't know the looks for fall until Saturday, at hollister at least (and they're always "up" on the trends I've noticed since I started working there).

For the summer, though, neon and bright colored shorts are really popular. Also, loose fitting shirts that are off the shoulder are instyle. Flowy, girly tank tops are always cute. There are lots of shirts with lace and ruffles as well.

To address the list you gave: Tribal prints I'm just not a fan off. I hope they're on their way out of style. Uggs have been getting really old lately, but Sperry's were super popular the last 2 years for preppy girls, they'll probably still be in. Yoga pants will always be in. Flowy shirts are in right now. Hco, Abercrombie, A&F will always be instyle, American Eagle will be too. Aero usually is but I don't shop there.

Best Wishes,
Tiffany

PS: Ask again in late July or early August and there will be more reliable answers. Trends can change quickly and back to school will have different looks than this summer's.
PPS: there's nothing wrong with having your own style!! But it's very normal to want to know what is in style, sorry I can't be of more help. Oh and don't listen to Seventeen magazine's advice. They have some good advice but when I used to read the magazine a lot of their outfits weren't good, they were really ugly. But they do mention some good stores you can look at!

what are the current trends in clothes shops?

Q. I have a job interview in a clothes shop and was wondering what current fashion trends are.

A. I don't follow women's fashion but I can provide the guys' trends for fall 2012 through summer 2013, or at least how they're predicted to be. This is according to major runway shows in Europe, so trends in American stores or unique shops will vary.

Some general trends: Slim pants/jeans (sometimes skinny), rolled up once or twice, JACKETS, hairstyles that are short on the sides/back and styled on top, accessories like watches and bracelets always make you look more stylish

Fall 2012 has some very light blues and oranges leftover from summer 2012 but they're only thrown in. Mainly, it's getting darker with blacks and grays, occasionally an obscure white or yellow dominated outfit. "A play on fabric" as Armani calls it is trendy, mixing different patterns and fabrics that you wouldn't normally match, as long as they go together in color. Outfits should stay simple and sleek though.

Winter 2012-13 is best described as "dark" and sometimes "tribal" with almost all black, brown and gray on jackets, pants and shoes/belts. Fabric play still revealant: For example, charcoal sweater with leather jacket throw-over.

Spring/summer 2013 should be sleek and include Mediterranean colors not only in just clothes but especially accessories. Like turquoise belts/shoes, bags and shirt accents. "Easter" colors is a good way to put it also. The base colors are blue and green.
