If for some reason you are faced with the task of buying clothes for a teenage child, without his personal presence with you on shopping, then you need, at least, to know his tastes, not just the size, but the desired degree of fit of the clothes. And do not go beyond the basic wardrobe in your spiritual impulse. This way you increase your chances to please a child teenager.

Basic clothing for teens

Better to buy quality basic items without large logos. You can go shopping both in shopping centers and in online markets. Internet resources such as asos.com are very popular, if your daughter or son loves Korean culture and style, then you should visit yesstyle.com, en.stylenanda.com.

Backpacks and waistbags

Start with a backpack, it is versatile, but it is better to choose models from well-known sports brands, so there will be less chances of miscalculating. Belt bags are no longer so relevant, but they are practical and such a purchase will not be superfluous.

Sweatshirts & Hoodies

If you decide to give a gift, then these two things are universal for a teenager. This is the base of any wardrobe, they are in the collections of almost every luxury brand. In order not to be mistaken, follow them to Zara or Mango. Basic models can even be bought at a sale. The hoodie will work great in layered bows under a denim jacket, coat, trench coat. Hoodies and sweatshirts do not have to be oversized and long, cropped ones are also in honor, since jeans with a high rise are in fashion among teenagers.

Plaid shirt

Checked shirts are cotton, woolen, voluminous, insulated, you can also safely buy, they can lie in the closet and will not go out of fashion, even if at the time of the gift they do not fit the mood. At the moment, the large-scale trend is plaid coat-shirts.

Jean jacket

Fitted miniature models are not relevant. A denim jacket is a basic thing; it can also always be customized, decorated, and made unique. Zara has released denim jackets that seemed to be hand-painted and colored yesterday. If it is almost impossible to guess with the model and fit of jeans, then a bulky denim jacket is more versatile.

Teenage Fashion Trends

When choosing clothes for teenagers, you can rely on global trends, so there are also more chances to get to the point.

Bright colours

Neon or tie-dye clothing. Bright things can be neutralized by combining them with things in black, white, gray, beige or any other subtle shades.

Oversize

Oversized things have taken root in the teenage wardrobe. Teenagers are often complex due to flaws in the figure, and voluminous things will help hide them, and at the same time they are fashionable. Bulky clothes are not so easy to buy in women's departments, so you can safely go to men's ones for hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatshirts, T-shirts.

Layering

This is a kind of eccentricity in the images that allows teenagers to express themselves. The stylistics of an adult layering differs from that of a teenager, because adults have more financial opportunities. And the teen will wear a short sleeve t-shirt on top of a long sleeve t-shirt and enjoy a revolutionary approach to self-presentation.

Millitarians and grunge

If your child really loves to dress within these styles, then explore the wonderful collections of the R13 brand. This brand combines both of these styles. You can find similar counterparts in mass markets to create flawless youthful looks, drawing on the looks from the R13 fashion shows. Moreover, it is better to look at several collections, because the brand's DNA does not change, you can also be inspired by last year's looks.

Shoes

Teenage clothes are often unisex with a touch, so rough chunky sneakers or laconic sneakers, rough army boots or platform Chelsea boots can appeal to both a girl and a teenage guy.



Shoes can be a style-forming speaking element of a fashionable image, because if a teenager can buy clothes in second-hand stores, then it is better to spend money on shoes.

Accessories

Bright socks

Some adolescents quickly catch fashion, but when choosing accessories for them, you can easily make a mistake, if you want to buy socks, it is better not to trust yourself, but either directly ask the child what socks he would like for himself, or consult with the seller, which is now in trend ... The same applies to things with prints, it is very easy not to fall into the taste, stylistic and ideological ideas of a teenager. Nowadays jewelry, chains, pearls are in vogue, here it is also important to be as delicate as possible and not trust only your stylistic presentation.

Hats

Panamas are relevant, but not everyone is ready to wear them, if you want to make a surprise, then refer to the classics from sports brands in black.



The best option would be to give the teenager a certificate or go to the store with him so that he or she can choose exactly the clothes that they like, will be worn with pride and love. Because an uncoordinated surprise can be a waste of the family budget.
