Parenting Tips: How to Choose Clothes for Young Girls

Clothes For Teen Girls
As a parent of young girls it can be difficult to find suitable clothing. It is important for girls to look good, but they should not be wearing the provocative clothing allowed in adulthood not until they reach their teens at any rate. Here we will discuss some of the ways in which you can dress your child fashionably without crossing the line into the adult world of fashion.
First things first, regardless of age or gender clothes need to fit well. Baggy clothes are a big no-no but girl's clothes should not be overly tight either. Children should not feel constricted in their clothing as this may reduce activity and it is vitally important that children learn to be active when they are young.
Correctly fitting clothing should have a space between the skin and the material of between 4mm-8mm for children. However, if they want to wear skinny jeans or other such fashions, clothes can be tighter but ensure that their tops are long and loose.
A great fashion tip for young girls is to accessories to bring a little panache and flair to an outfit. This way they do not need to dress overly provocative to gain the attention of others people will naturally look and admire their sense of dress if they accessories well. Accessories using a clutch bag or a handbag that suits a younger girl adds necklaces, bracelets and rings and an interesting hair slide or belt. Make sure that the belt matches both their handbag and their belt.
An important consideration in fashion for anyone is colour coordination. It is essential that clothing matches colour wise otherwise a clashing effect will occur and the outfit will appear odd to onlookers. Girl's clothes are often colourful and this is a good thing however it also means that clashes are more difficult to avoid.
As a general rule with colour never wear the same colour trousers and tops. For instance do not wear dark blue trousers with a light blue top the effect is that the outfit will appear more as a uniform and less as a fashion statement.
Colours that go well with blue include white, black, pink, and red. This hold true regardless of colour depth for instance a light blue top with black trousers will look as good as a pair of light blue trousers with a light red top.
Neutral colours match all other colours so if you are unsure how to match colours simply choose one item of clothing in a non-neutral colour such as red, blue, green, or yellow and one item in a neutral colour. Neutral colours are black, white, grey and brown.
In reference to girls clothes there are several colours that are traditionally associated with this gender and so tend always to look great these are pink, yellow and any bright shade of green or red.
