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 preferred, 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!
