Fashion Tips for Teenage Girls in DIY fashion design ideas

When it comes to styling DIY fashion design ideas teenage girls, one needs to be overly cautious. It's not just about making the girl wear the latest clothes.

So, let's check out some very simple and (un)fortunately cliché fashion advice that teenage girls can benefit from.

DIY fashion design ideas - Stick to Basics

What goes into having a perfect wardrobe that boasts of something nice to wear during every season? What do you need to lay the foundation of a wardrobe so awesome, that you don't need to spend hours agonizing over the dreaded 'what to wear' question? It's the basics! Or essentials if you will. Honestly, there is nothing more simple to understand than the 'stick to basics' philosophy. So what do the basics encompass? Here's a list of some of the items, whose importance and contribution to your wardrobe you should NEVER underestimate.

Well Fitting Jeans: If you haven't come across a girl who wears DIY fashion design ideas that are either so tight they threaten to explode, or so loose they look like they're hung on a hanger, then you live in a perfect world. I am yet to find a dictionary in which the word 'fitting' means 'extra-tight-to-the-point-of-tearing-if-worn-when-seated'. Girls, we know you're at an age when the first and last thing on your mind is how you look. So please, refrain from wearing jeans that are too snug or too loose. Flaunt your body, but do it with dignity.

Tops: T-shirts, tanks, spaghetti straps, the world is your oyster! You need to have these in strong colors that will complement your skin tone and your body type. Do not go in for an ill-fitting top. Your upper body needs to breathe, so you need to have something that will facilitate this basic necessity of life. At the same time, having just sweatshirts and loose tees will take away the femininity from your wardrobe. Include smart button-down shirts, some girly tops, and classy jackets in neutral colors for the winters.

Skirts and Shorts: If you know how to look good in shorts, then nothing should stop you from flaunting your legs in the summer. Follow the cardinal rule of not too tight, not too loose for them as well. If you're more of a 'girly' girl, then you need a collection of pretty skirts in varying lengths: short, medium, and long. You can team the extremely short ones with leggings, wear the medium ones as they are and heavily accessorize with the long ones for an ultra-chic Boho look!
