It is believed that clothing for many is a way of self-expression. This is especially true for young people. In general, modern teenagers are more free and independent - compared to the generation of their parents, but they are still sensitive to criticism from their peers, are in constant search and, contrary to the established expression, “create” an idol for themselves.
There are no long-term trends in modern teenage fashion. Fashion for boys and girls aged 10–19 years—namely, this period is considered adolescence—changes almost as quickly as the VKontakte or Instagram feed. Therefore, it is impossible to understand what is in fashion among teenagers now. We can only guess. The best way out is to turn to “eternal trends”, things that do not go out of fashion for a long time. One such wardrobe item is a sweatshirt. What kind of fashionable hoodies and sweatshirts are they for modern teenagers?
Fashion trends for teenage hoodies
Of course, this is banal, but... It’s better to choose clothes for a teenager together with him - otherwise the likelihood of a mistake is very high. For example, one of them is to think that boys and girls aged 10–13 will definitely like a sweatshirt with a bright print or a cool inscription. Firstly, the print is different from the print - just like the inscription, and secondly... It turns out that one of the most established trends today is the absence of any drawings, images, inscriptions and applications at all. Even many “young beauties” refuse words on sweatshirts and various “baubles”.
Reference. Models with cute animals, images of space themes and other bright pictures, the abundance of which is presented in the assortment of modern stores, are considered an anti-trend among teenagers.
Single-color models of sweatshirts are relevant - mainly achromatic tones. Black, white, gray hoodies and sweatshirts are a great way to “guess” your purchase, because even if some new trend has appeared while you were shopping, such models will never go out of fashion. You can also choose a plain sweatshirt in brighter shades - blue, yellow, red, grass colors.
Color combinations look interesting - especially models made using the color-blocking technique, when complementary colors are presented on the product in the form of blocks.
One more nuance. The modern generation prefers social networks and games to live communication. This is a given, from which, fight it or don’t fight it, there is no escape. Therefore, striving to be special and different from others, teenagers are simultaneously impressed by the characters of their favorite games and idols, whose videos they enjoy watching. Therefore, an attentive parent can “risk” guessing which sweatshirt his child will prefer by paying attention to how popular youth bloggers are dressed.
The same principle can be used with games. A sweatshirt with a picture of a character from a game that your child enjoys will certainly be received favorably by him. This approach is relevant if the child is 10, 11, 12 and 13 years old.
For older teenagers - 14-16 years old, in addition to bloggers, their idols can be actors or movie characters, football players, singers. In this case, they may imitate celebrities in their clothing choices or wear hoodies with images of them or the characters they play.
Reference. Hoodies and sweatshirts with images of computer game characters, movie characters, attributes of a famous person or symbols of a certain brand belong to the product category called “merch”.
Current models of sweatshirts for girls, girls, boys and boys 10–16 years old
Modern fashion trends are characterized by a mixture of styles. This is especially true for wardrobe items in sports and casual styles. By and large, there are no significant differences between sweatshirts for boys and those for girls. Especially if these are classic models, devoid of bright ornate decor and prints.
Reference. The popularity of hoodies among teenagers is easy to explain. The hood available on almost all models is very helpful when the weather, as they say, “gives a blunder.” In addition, the loose style suits almost everyone - it hides both excessive thinness and annoying volume.
The main types of ultra-stylish sweatshirts for teenagers include the following models:
- Classic. This option is a loose-fitting jacket with a hood and side pockets. It may have a clasp or do without it. Ideal clothing for sports, walking, relaxing and meeting friends.
- Hoodie. A less loose-fitting option with an original hood in the form of a stand-up collar. Another feature of the hoodie is the presence of a kangaroo pocket. Girls like to wear elongated hoodies instead of dresses.
- Sweatshirt. This wardrobe item is called something between a sweatshirt and a sweater. It does not have a hood or fasteners, and the classic version also does not have pockets. Other features of the sweatshirt are a straight cut, elastic on the round neck and sleeves.
- Bomber. Mandatory elements of this fashionable version of the sweatshirt are a stand-up collar and a zipper or button closure. Feature - the collar, cuffs and hem are made in a contrasting shade to the main color.
Of course, following these recommendations, you can try to purchase a fashionable sweatshirt yourself. Well, if you give a surprise gift to your teenage child, you will guess. However, in most cases it is still better to entrust the choice of clothes to him.
Only the child himself can know what is customary to wear right now and in the environment in which he is located. If the choice is wrong, the teenager will either refuse to wear a “fashionable” sweatshirt altogether, or will wear it “under pressure”, and even “explain it for his clothes,” which can lead to various problems.
What year do you live in and how old are you? My grandmother doesn’t think like you
Nothing on this list is fashionable for teenagers in 2020...
It’s very wrong for you to think so
I have never seen a single teenager in such outfits...
AHAHAHAHA
I agree, I haven’t seen anything uglier since 2015
Sorry, but what's ugly about this? Solid models? Or the fashionable color blocking technique? Options with game characters, of course, are not for 15-18 years old, but for 10-12 years old they are quite suitable and popular. The merch trend is really hot. Of course, the article was not written by Alexander Vasiliev or another recognized authority in the fashion world. Before the article “saw the light”, a lot of work was done, many sources were studied, and an adequate conclusion was drawn from the results. Reading these negative, but generally unsubstantial comments, I want to write: “Who are the judges?”
