Hey peeps,

I'm doing some research for a project at university about girls aged 10-16yrs and how you girls use fashion.

I want to know what you think about fashion and why you love it or hate it.

I want to know what you think your clothes say about you and what you think other peoples clothes say about them!

Also if any of you can tell me if you read any magazines, which ones and why?

I'd be really gratefull if you could just post your thoughts on here!

Thanks!!

Thanks guys, so fashion is obviously quite important to you then? Do you think your clothes portray your personalities? do u see yourselves as quite girly girls?

What about magazines? do u guys rely on them to style and beauty tips at all?

Also, do u think u can judge people on what they wear? like do u think u can look at someone in black clothes and black make up and know what kind of a person they are?

How old are you guys?

Clothing is in fact very important, in one way or another. Whenever you are going to do something important, like prosecuting a job interview, it's important to look good. During the first few seconds someone sees you for the first time, you will be judged by them.

I like metal and look decent

I dress in whatever the hell I feel like dressing in.

Unless I'm out to make an impression, I don't care what I wear so long as it covers virtually every part of my body - unless it's summer - then I don't care.
At least when I'm out in public, at home I hardly even get dressed. XD

Jeans, nice or crappy t-shirts, a thin black jacket, boots or tennis-shoes or high-tops.

Honestly? I can't stand fashion. At one point, I was so anti-fashion, I wouldn't wear ANYTHING that was in fashion, even if I liked it, or used to wear it all the time. I'm not that extreme now though, I just wear what I wanna wear. Sometimes it's stuff that's in fashion, sometimes it's not. I DO try to look good when people are gonna be seeing me, but comfort and practicality are more important that looks.
My style is a mix of things and changes depending on where I'm doing. If I've got a concert (I play my instruments in concerts regularly) then I dress up VERY glam, in sparkly dresses, high heels, pretty jewellery and heavier make-up (though having said that, I NEVER wear foundation - it looks unnatural and I don't need it). If I'm just going to town with some mates, I'll wear skinny jeans or leggings and shorts and a t-shirt (what type of t-shirt? My favourites are logo or cartoon ones, the brighter the better).
I would say my clothes reflect my personality. I'm a bright, bubbly person who loves to be with friends and I take a pretty laidback approach to life, but I'm also a girly girl inside.
As for magazines, I read Sugar and Bliss (I read Kerrang! sometimes too, but my guess is you're not talking about music magazines :laugh: ) I like the clothes section simply to see if there's any clothes I like which I could save up for, or if I'm looking for something for a particular event it saves trawling round shops all day (though that can be quite fun too, just also quite expensive). Mainly I read them for all the articles they do though
I think I can be quite judgemental on people's appearance, like I would immediately be wary of someone dressed in trackies with giant hoop earrings, but I usually get to find out more about people before making proper judgements on them. If someone in trackies and giant hoops came up to me and started talking, I wouldn't ignore them just because of what they were wearing, I'd try to make decent conversation or help them or whatever reason they'd started talking to me.
