Teenagers use their appearance to communicate with the world the things they cannot say. Going back to school is a very important time for teens, and a moment to go shopping for new clothes either alone or with their parents. Finding the right look can be hard and sometimes even expensive.

Most teenagers need to buy new clothes quite often, as during your teens, you tend to grow fast. This is why, the clothes that used to fit a while ago, don’t seem to fit your body anymore and you need to go shopping again.

If shopping for teenage girls is easy, the same thing can’t be said about teenage boys. Even though guys are just as preoccupied with their looks as girls, many boys tend to have a hard time choosing the right clothes for them. There are several reasons why this happens; for example, when you are a teenager, guys and girls alike want to stand out and fit in at the same time. Secondly, the fear of ridicule also has a big impact on teenagers: the last thing teens want is to be ridiculed for the way they look. And, even if you don’t care about what others think, it can be still hard to find clothes that express yourself. When you are in your teens, you are developing and discovering your personality, so it’s hard to speak about personal style in the absence of a clearly defined personality.

The bottom line is that teenage boys want to look great, not to stand out too much and to be comfortable.

We have put together a few looks that can be transformed by anyone according to their preferences and tastes, that are not too outlandish and that feel very comfortable.

 

 

Clothes

White shirt and jeans

 

 

If you want to have a look that is clean, young and energetic, the best choice you can make is to wear a fitted white shirt and a pair of jeans. The white shirt will give out a clean, classic vibe, while the jeans will remind everyone else that you are in fact a teenager. We always recommend wearing a dress shirt rather than a simple t-shirt, as dress shirts will make you look more put together and more structured.

Such a look can be put together in five minutes in the morning. The only thing you need to make sure is that your shirt is well pressed. Remember that a dress shirt is a shirt that has no pockets: shirts that have one pocket are casual shirts and those that have two are best to be worn when hiking or engaging in other similar activities. You can basically wear any type of shirt with your jeans, but we recommend going for one with no pockets or with one pocket.

Also, we recommend getting dark wash jeans. They are dressier and look better on most people.

Adding a belt to this outfit will also make you appear more balanced and grounded.

 

Polo shirt and chinos

Wearing a polo shirt with chinos is a very appropriate look for a teenage guy. Even though it is very simple to put them together, you can create visually interesting outfits with these two pieces. Today, you can find chinos in a variety of colors, from warm colors such as orange, yellow or red to cool colors, such as blue, green or purple. You can also find chinos in neutral colors, such as tan, brown or beige.

 

 

Using classic pieces such as these is a way to be sure that you will be appropriate in most occasions, but it also gives you the freedom to play with your style. Choosing colors and mixing them will help you discover what you like and how you want to present yourself to the world.

The polo shirt and chinos look is a very comfortable outfit for a teenager and can be worn almost everywhere: from class to special courses and even to the park.

Always remember that you should never tuck a t-shirt in a pair of pants, always keep your t-shirts out.

 

T-shirt , Shirt and Pants

Wearing a simple t-shirt, paired with an open shirt and a pair of pants is a great way to start learning about layering. Not only does such a look feel comfortable, but it is also very interesting from a visual point of view, as adding layers to your outfits will give your look depth and dimension. Generally, we recommend that your layers should either be of the same thickness or they should go from thin to thick as they are further away from your skin.

 

 

The great thing about sporting this look is that you can express your personality through the print of the shirt. You can opt for a monochrome shirt, for something with a pattern or even for a shirt with a very bold print. Wearing a shirt that is different is a great way to experiment with fashion.

Adding patterns to any outfit will make it look more interesting, more creative and it will send out a message that you have put thought into it. Sending out the message that you are consciously choosing your clothes also means that you are a guy who pays attention to detail and who is aware of himself and his environment.

 

 

Shoes

Your shoes are a very important aspect of any wardrobe. They should be comfortable and practical, but elegant and stylish at the same time. It can be hard to find a pair of shoes for a teenage boy, but if you know what to look for, it can all be easier. Try to find a pair that is versatile: this way you will save money and time, as you won’t have to always decide which pair to wear.
