The world of fashion is a bewildering place and even more so when you are the parent of a teen. The clothing that they wear is sometimes a bit bewildering and hard for a parent to understand. Often as parents all we can do is shake our heads and wonder what happened to the styles of our own teens. It is possible to navigate this bold new world of fashion though and maybe understand it a little bit.
Fashion for teen boys has become all about the deconstructed look.. Instead of clothes looking shiny and new when bought now they want to buy them looking lived in and worn. One of the funniest parts of this fashion to a parent is the fact that deconstructed clothing that looks old and worn often costs more than clothing that doesn’t follow this style. Hard to understand for a parent but quite normal to a teen.
