April 21 Teens and FashionI am constantly amazed at the things teenagers will wear. The Boy? If it's black he'll wear it. I don't mind black. Not from head to toe, mind you, but black is okay. That is all he wants to wear. Black shirt, black jeans, black boots. He has more colors in his wardrobe. I should know. He still lets me help him pick out his clothes.
But what The Boy likes is nothing compared to some of the insane stuff I see on kids walking down the street. A while ago, it was all the rage to wear jeans 3 sizes too big so the pockets hung down to their knees. Thank the Gods The Boy thought that was as unattractive and tacky as I did. Now, what I am also seeing are kids wearing jeans that are 3 sizes too small. They can't even pull them up past their hips, so their butts hang out as they are walking down the street. Do they think that is attractive or cool?Why bother wearing clothes at all?
I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm a mom or an adult or something, but I think it would be more attractive if they wore clothes that fit. Do they like looking like welfare children? Another thing I think about is comfort and ease. How comfortable is it to be wearing clothes from your little sister's closet? How easy is to move around when you have to stop and pull your pants up every 5 seconds?
I know kids these days are struggling to find their own unique style and personal identity, but I don't think wearing ill fitting clothes or all one color (sorry, son) is the way to do it. I know my reaction when I see what kids are wearing. I stare with horrid disgust and dismay that their mothers let them go out in public like that.
Maybe that's it. Parents aren't paying enough attention to their children as they are walking out the door in the morning. They could say they we are trying to be the cool parent, or the parent who is up on all the fashion trends, but let's get real. What these kids are wearing is not cool or fashionable. It's downright horrifying! TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
