Youth fashion

What are kids wearing these days? There are more styles than ever before – from trendy to casual, sporty, punk and the list goes on. And kids are taking styles from the 50s to the 80s to make new looks that are quite exciting. We asked three teenagers to tell us what’s in their wardrobe and what they like to wear.

Debbie, 16

My wardrobe is full of the newest styles that I can find. I like to dress like my friends – that means trendy and stylish. I hate clothes that are too big or too small. I like them to fit just right. I don’t like styles from 50 years ago, but I like the 80s styles a little bit. It seems like that’s what a lot of trendy clothes look like today. But I think today’s clothes look better!

Tom, 14

I like casual clothes the best. Really my wardrobe has got nothing but sports clothes in it. I’m a big fan of football. In fact, I want to play football for a team one day. So all of my clothes have got sports teams and numbers on them. The only formal thing I’ve ever owned is a suit that I wore when my sister finished school. But guess what? I wore it once and then gave it away!

Kate, 15

I think I’ve got all the clothing styles from the last 40 years in my wardrobe! I really like clothes from the 60s – they’re my favourite, particularly the long, colourful dresses. I’m kind of tall, so they fit me well. I also like the kind of boots they wore in the 70s. They’re really cool! I haven’t got any clothes from the 80s, but I like wearing my hair in that style – big and curly! And I love jewellery, especially earrings. I don’t go anywhere without them!
