How to Be a Stylish Tween

Get the basics.

You don't have to go out and buy all new stuff if you have these clothes already. Hand-me-downs, donations and charity stores can be sources of stylish clothes: Tank tops, strapless tops, crop tops T-Shirts, especially with cute designs and patterns Jackets, boleros, blazers and vests Dresses for very hot days and for formal events Jeans, capris pants, leggings Accessories. Skirts, shorts Cute Swimsuit(s): Bikini, Tankini, One-piece or two-piece! Sandals and other shoes.

Get the right fit.

Know how to put clothes together. Make sure all your clothes fit you correctly, suit you, suit your shape and make you feel comfortable.

Accessorize.

Even when you just have a plain tee with jeans, you'll look great with a cute hairband, bangles, a belt or any other item you feel like adding.

Consider perfume.

It's okay if you just smell like your nice soap or shampoo. But, if you don't like it, do you have a choice? Perfume your way out. Deodorant works too if you want to smell fresh after gym or on a hot day.

Wear cute shoes.

Wear shoes with a cute design and make sure they are comfortable to wear. Converse or vans are great for day, and small heels are fab when you are dressing up.

Keep your hair groomed.

Keep your hair nice-looking. Try a new hairstyle when you feel like it. If you plan to use hair straightener or curler, try not to do it regularly, because it might damage and burn your hair.

Wear natural makeup.

If your parents allow you to wear makeup don't overdo it! Just some mascara, foundation (or BB cream works great), lip gloss, blush MAYBE (sometimes it looks unnatural so if you do just try a pink or rosy blush), and some eyeshadow. If you want (and your parents allow) get some white eyeliner and put it on the corner of your eyes.

Take care of your skin.

You don't need to whiten it, but try avoiding bruises and scratches. Use lotion if your hands or legs ever get dry. If you have dark/thick body hair, you may want to start shaving.

Wash your hair.

Keep your hair dandruff-free and wash it every other day for grease-free, glossy locks.
