Fashion FAUX-PAS

There seems to be a new craze sweeping the nation of teenage girls.

 Forget the e.m.o-grunge look, the preppy look and all the other old-timers, the new thing is bright orange foundation three layers thick, painfully straight hair, hoodies, jeggings and fluffy boots, commonly branded as Ugg boots.

You do not have to look far to find one of these new orange faced breeds, they seem to be EVERYWHERE .

 The people I feel suffer most from this new fashion fix are the designers of these items-designed for high fashion and individuality, shunned into everyday monstrosities.

Hair-straighteners for example-I hardly think GHDs were created for teenage girls to straighten their hair into exactly the same style every day, but for people to experiment with their hair. I understand you, creators of GHD's!!!

I myself am a teenager, so I hold nothing against teenage girls, but really, how can we expect to uphold high expectations of us from others when we all follow each other right down to the same shade of jegging? Each time I see one of those sheep with orange faces, uggs, and jeggings, I feel foremost physically sick, then disheartened that products that if used well could be beautiful, are forced into a uniform of young girls merging into one another in the desperate act of trying to fit in.

 NON UNIFORM DAY is MOST frustrating! They wear IDENTICAL school uniform like clones. The ONE day a year they get to wear theyre OWN clothes, you know have a TINY bit of individuality...They all wear the "orange face look" Translation; Gillets, Uggs, Jeggings/leggings, heavy make up. COMEEE ONN pleaseee!!!!?

   I mean, fair enough if you enjoy looking like an orang-utan wearing see-through tights, but I don’t think anyone could enjoy having no identity, no individuality. In addition, this trend is far from attractive. Jeggings are simply died lycra, therefore most unforgiving for the most attractive pair of legs. The oversized hoodies cover up any womanly curves and give the appearance of a large marshmallow, in various colours of course, and gives the body a disproportionate look, with much shorter legs than body.

 NOT PRETTY!

  Fluffy boots, (Uggs), could, with the right outfit on the right person, be very attractive, but unfortunately people who follow the crowd do not much care if they suit the product or not, so it is a small majority who actually pull them off. Those who unfortunately do not, give off the image of having fat ankles and large feet, rather than the dainty, feminine ankles we all aspire too.

 To anyone out there reading this and realising they are in fact one of the orang-utan tribe, please do not think I am prejudiced against you, I am sure you are a lovely person, but I strongly advice you change your ways. Believe it or not, they’re are other looks out there, which are much more attractive and liberating than your current outfit. Perhaps try a floral dress, high waisted skirt, investigate new things and find what works for you, not what works for your friends.

BE A FIRST RATE VERSION OF YOURSELF, NOT A SECOND RATE VERSION OF SOMEONE ELSE

   Having complained about the fashion of teenage girls, I would like to congratulate and thank all those young girls pioneering in the areas of fashion, standing out from the crowd, or even just rocking the current trends in an individual way, rather than being a sheep, well done, keep pioneering!
