8 Wardrobe Staples for the Teen Girl

     

Personal style is about expressing yourself through clothes. Only you know what you like and what you don't, right? so here are 8 wardrobe staples ideas that you change around to fit your edgy, chic, sophisticated, simple or any other personal style.

 Your "Shirt"

This is a must have in my wardrobe. For me, the over-sized tee is what I go for, it gives off an effortless look, but still chic because of the color. For the edgy girl it might be your sleeveless band tee, chic you say? that may be your neutral colored V-neck, sophisticated and polished, your sharp tailored button down. Color, length, and size are of course up to you and ultimate make the look your own.

Your Favorite Pair of Bottoms

   

      I am loving the whole oversized look, sticking with that, my go to staple pair of pants are boyfriend/girlfriend jeans. These babes right here definitely give an interesting spin to my outfits. They vary from overly slouchy to relaxed fit to give a comfortable but of course put together look. The more sophisticated teen, the chino cigarette leg can suit you, edgy, your ripped black skinny jean, chic, the creased trouser is what you might go for. Next time picking your outfit for school, or a day with the girls, try these option that I suggested to really show case your personal style.

Hats

     

Maybe a bad hair day or need the sun out your face, or simply want to add flavor to your outfit, this piece gives a sporty, fun, edgy twist to any look. For the sportier chic teen like me, the classic fitted baseball hat is my staple. The bohemian babe the over-sized big floppy hat you will surely make an entrance, sophisticated and polished the fitted fedora will suit your style and edgy the beanie will definitely become your staple through warm and cool weathers. Don't underestimate the power of a hat it can really take your look to a different level.

The "Little Black Dress"

Not necessarily black or little, but that "go to” dress that looks, feels and is perfect for you, because at the end of the day you want to feel comfortable and confident. I cannot live without my maxi dress, the flow or more fitted approach gives an effortlessly but put together feel. Depending on your personal style find a dress that showcases your best body feature or ditch black and go for a dark blue to really bring out your striking eyes.

Rings and Things

      Jewelry, a girl’s best friend... well, diamonds to be exact, but for us ladies on a budget costume jewelry is a fun and inexpensive way to add sparkle, shine and life to those simpler outfits. I have been loving rings, especially midi rings, add some pretty polish to your nails and you are sure to be finger flirty. For every personal style you can change up your accessories from statement watches, triple chain necklaces or simple stud earrings.

The Everyday Shoe

   

Either flats, heels or sneakers we all have one pair of shoes that with any outfit looks great but still comfortable for the long days. My favorite pair of shoes at the moment are my h&m black flats. I love how versatile they are and how many different outfit combinations I can pair them with. For the chic, the sandal heel could really compliment your simplistic approach, edgy, ditch the flat and go for your beloved chucks, sophisticated rock those oxfords. I would definitely recommend a comfortable but cute shoe that allows your unique personal style to shine through.

Overlays

Living in Florida, jackets are not used 80 percent of the time, but for that cold class, or when the weather finally decides to get cooler I love the lightweight long line cardigan, it's my grab and go piece that looks good with any outfit. Blazers would look great with your sophisticated or chic style; edgy the Letterman/bomber jacket would complement you perfectly. Of course dress appropriately for the weather, these are just some ideas that could be used to layer and style your outfit.

     

Bags

      Last, but definitely not least, the everyday bag. From handbags to satchels to cross body, book bags, should I go on? It is vital for me to have a good quality bag because these are the pieces that can last forever if taken care of. There is no problem splurging on a clothing pieces or accessory if you feel you can where it many times or even in the future pass it on to your children. There are many different variations, styles, shapes, colors of bags that can fit any personal style perfectly. Invest in a good quality bag that will last you years to come you will not be disappointed.

     This post is not to tell you what to wear and what you should not wear, I'm giving ideas and options to every teen girl to express yourself through clothing and accessory pieces that you feel comfortable and confident in. Never change who you are for the latest trend or item piece but more so take that trend or item piece and customize it to fit your personal style and be YOUnique.
