How do Fashion Trends Affect 
Teens?
Today, the trend has changed in a drastic manner in our day-to-day lives. Trends have 
affected teenagers to a greater extent. It has affected not only the things they do but also 
how they carry and conduct themselves. This includes the luggage they carry, the makeup 
they put on, clothes they wear, physique piercing, and hairstyles among other things. In 
some way, it also reflects your self-confidence. The modern youth follow fashion trends to 
get a feeling of identity and belonging out of it.
Today, Fashion awareness is increasing day by day, and everyone wants to look best. There 
is essentially no harm in looking good until you tend to become obsessed with fashion. Let’s 
look into things how is it affecting the lives of teenagers.
Positive Effects:
Fashion is an evolving art, and it has come a 
long way. For younger people, it is a sense of 
freedom and expression through Fashion and 
Style. Following your own fashion statement 
gives you a sensation of free-thinking, and you 
do become more of an independent thinker. In 
this aspect, the trends aid the Youth.
Another main thing which we can say is that with the changing trends, it helps the 
Youth connect with people of the same interests. Self-expression is always good, and if 
something aids in self-expression, it is healthier.
Negative Effects:
Peer Pressure – Peer pressure affects 
the day-to-day decisions of the teenager in 
a significant manner in major issues like 
fashion and style. According to the research, 
the choice of dressing for teenagers varies 
with the kind of friends they have. It can be 
good or bad.
Body Image – 
Body image is an issue that affects many teenage girls. Movies, Magazines, Media, have 
an impact on a girl’s physical appearance. For instance, when teenage girls see a slim 
model on a magazine cover, they will do whatever it takes to look that way. Thus, this 
results in several changes in a teenager’s fashion style as well as unhealthy approaches 
like poor eating habits.
Designer Brands – 
Most adolescents preoccupy themselves with 
social recognition and coolness that relate to 
the attire they put on. Thus, teenagers opt to 
show off themselves with popular brands. The 
majority will shop at stores that sell high-
quality clothes.
However, these teens when do not have money to shop, are often stressed. Most of 
them believe that since they are unable to afford these clothes, they would not be up-
to-date with the current style trends, they will not fit in.
Media and Magazines – 
Teenagers and Youth use magazines and media to decide what the forthcoming trends 
are so that they will know exactly what to purchase and what not to. Fashion shows and 
magazines play a large role in influencing the Youth's lifestyle, and sense of style. Most 
of them purchase clothes after glancing through the magazines and looking through the 
ads on social media and Television. These things affect the choice of youngster's 
clothes.
Celebrities – 
Teens always idealize the celebrities they adore. They draw their fashion inspiration from 
them. When celeb dresses in the attire they love, they will go and search for the same outfit 
and show it off to their peers.
Moreover, teens watch various reality shows to keep up with the dressing style of their idols. 
They discover themselves through external stimuli. Celeb offers the extra basis for teens to 
benchmark their associations, thoughts, and opinions. And even though the celebrities do 
not try to persuade their fans to follow particular trends for teens, they change the 
ideologies of their audience in a subconscious manner.
Note to the Readers:
Teenagers are often conscious of their looks. Most of them are obsessed with the details 
that are not important. The majority of the teenagers dress in a manner to draw 
attention to themselves. They fear that they will lose friends if they do not dress in the 
appropriate manner and always have a fear of missing out. Hence, they do whatever 
it takes to get all the attention that comes with dressing in an inappropriate manner. 
However, most of them aren’t aware of the impact of teenage fashion in their lives. If 
you come across any teenager who is obsessed with fashion, guide them to the right 
part. It is good to be conscious about fashion, but until it does not become an obsession. 
“Too much for anything is good for nothing”.
