Trends

BOYS By Jase B.

Pants, shorts, and joggers are very trendy in the teen community. The joggers are the top in trendy clothing, right now; a lot of athletes are wearing them. So, this brings a lot of teen buyers to the market.

Thrasher, a skater-brand company, currently is selling shirts that are going quickly because of the association with the skater community. Although they don’t meet uniform regulations for BLPA, the shirts and shoes can be found in many public schools.

The most popular brand for shoes remains Nike. Tennis shoes work for a variety of fashions; still looking like nice shoes, but working for sporting events, as well.

High socks with any designs, especially name brands, are frequently worn with shorts or joggers. Elites, for instance, have extra padding on the bottom and are solid-colored.

Accessories for male teens include paracord bracelets. Backpacks tend to be solid colors, like gray or black. Oakley sunglasses are very popular, and they make prescription glasses, as well. Wayfarer sunglasses, modeled after surfer glasses, are also seen around often.

There are only, really, two main hairstyles: man buns and the hard part haircut. If you like to grow your hair longer, the man bun is an excellent way to keep your hair out of your face and keep it stylish. If you like shorter hair, the hard part haircut is more of a cleaner look.

GIRLS By TaKeycia M.

We all know how it is, wanting to buy clothes that our parents don’t approve of or clothes that are too expensive that we can’t afford. Our first subject will be picking outfits that are just the right price; even though we want to walk around looking cute, it should also be affordable. The first online shopping place is called Pinterest, and I recommend it to males and females because, in this school, we have a lot of relationships, so dressing alike might be a relationship goal.

So the trends I see the most in 2017 are joggers, skinny jeans, tights, and tight-fitted dresses in styles like Nike, Adidas, or Jordan, but if you want to save money, which all parents do, you could get Faded Glory pants, which are not that expensive at Walmart. We do always like to show off our figures - it’s a lady thing (also known as an insecure thing). Don’t get us wrong, sometimes on a bad day, we like to have our hair a mess with no makeup, and we just like to eat ice cream and watch funny videos or use our phones, but i guess that’s just a teenager’s world.

Backpacks - that’s a no-brainer; girls like Pink, Nike, and Jordan, and so much more. There really are no favorite trends because we’re mixed in this world and all have different opinions.
