              As we've seen previously that quoted by Wikipedia, fashion is just not a bunch of clothes in your closet where branded stores sell them and you buy them with money then you will be called as a Fashion Goddess. It's about what you wear without seeing the brands and you comfort with it, but it has not reached the true meaning yet as if wearing swimsuits when it's winter.

             Teenagers love shopping especially those girls. Shopping bags can be their bestfriend, not really, it should be credit cards for being their bestfriend when they go shopping. Yeah, we all know shopping is a consumptive activity which takes a lot of money to earn the stuffs we want to buy at the shops. Year turned into years, fashion era also changed from zero to hero, hahahaha. Fashion designers are not all adults, teenagers also can be a fashion designer. In Indonesia, there's a lot of teenager fashion designers too, they are very talented. 

             'What-to-wear' is so fashion, well, of course it is. How about the others? 'Where-to-wear', 'When-to-wear'? Are they is so fashion too as 'What-to-wear'? We'll discuss some of them after this and I'll post some of my interviews with a few of my classmates.

            'What-to-wear'

           T-shirts and jeans, the perfect pair of outfits when we have nothing to wear. A lot of teenagers love to wear that perfect pair of outfits. But those two are not the only types of clothes. I'm not going to explain every-types-of-clothes in fashion industry, but will explain the generals and some uniques. 

           When you open Fashion Online Shop such as stylesofia.com, topshop.com or even net-a-porter.com, you'll see the categories such as Tops, Skirts, Pants, Outwears, Dresses, or even Beachwear and the other options. For an example, Outwears, it includes Cardigans, Jackets, Blazers, Vests and also Sweaters, another example, Tops, it includes Crop Top, T-Shirt, Shirt, Tanktops and others. 

           But mostly, the shapes can be variated not all of them looks like the general one. These stuffs are basically the basic of fashion, if you do not own clothes, how can you be a fashion icon or less as a human being? :p

Crop top.

Outwears. (Left; Jacket, Right; Vest)

 'Where-to-wear'

            At school, you wear uniform and so it is at the beach, you wear swimsuits not uniform. Yeah, but generally this one is not really matter, it's all back to yourself. Like when you hang out at the mall, you can wear anything you want to wear but still remember it has to be suitable hahahaha.. can you imagine if you wear bikini to the mall? That's not really suitable. 

           Another thing, when you're invited to a friend's party or prom night you'll see the dresscode which is written on the invitation, right? Teenagers love party.

DRESSCODE : Colorful & Catchy

DRESSCODE : Black & Glamour

DRESSCODE : Sparkling Gold

DRESSCODE : Disney Princesses

'When-to-wear'

               Can you mention five seasons we have? Yes, summer, winter, fall and spring. Each seasons are absolutely different and each seasons also have kind of style to wear.

               Summer, well, everybody loves summer so do I. The sun is very hot so be ready to drink lemonade with a lot of ices. Summer is when you can go to the beach all day long and tanning yourself, but not really like that, you can wear shorts and tanktops and sunglasses when it's summer. Fun, right?

               Snows everywhere, yeah, it's winter. Windy. Cold. Icy. All you have to wear is warm clothes to cover your body from the coldness outside and also thick clothes such as jackets and also gloves and don't forget earphones to cover your ears :-)

               Last but not least the season, umm I meant two seasons when leaves are falling everywhere there, here, anywhere from the trees and also flowers bloom everywhere but in different times. So, it's fall and spring! Yeah,  in these seasons you can wear anything that is suitable, let's just call it as casual. When it's fall, it can be so windy and cold but not as cold as when it's winter, so be ready with your cardigans and a cup of tea but when it's spring be ready with your new flower dress and cookies. Hahahahaha.
