I have a 12 year old daughter, but haven't really done anything like this as such - she wears school uniform and gets so many nice&nbsp;handed downs items (and in addition buys the odd thing herself) that I'm reduced to just buying things for any gaps that are left.</p> <p>I loved Liz's advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-for-a-teen-girl#post-1579073 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 20:18:51 +0000 ladyjules 1579073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you know Rory Gilmore from The Gilmroe Girls? She immediately came to my mind when I read "tailored". Cardigans, denim jackets and blazers are a nice way to add some style, not sure about blazers since she is so young, though. Of course, simple tailored shirts are also great, and polo shirts add a bti of style as well.<br />As for bottoms, pleated skirts, corduroys or simple dark blue jeans maybe?<br />And as far as outerwear is concerned, peacoats look lovely on teens. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-for-a-teen-girl#post-1577880 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 05:02:59 +0000 rachylou 1577880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that an analysis of activities is the best place to start. Your daughter sounds classic but not preppy (thus the orphan blue blazer). I'd look to Grace Kelly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-for-a-teen-girl#post-1577731 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:40:15 +0000 Anne 1577731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Clara - we live in the midwest. &nbsp;She would never wear leggings or anything ripped! &nbsp;She does have a J. Crew blue blazer though that is rather orphaned.... off to Pinterest. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Liz (also my daugheter's name) thank you for the link! &nbsp;That is a wonderful start!</p> <p>Capsules &nbsp;- good thinking! &nbsp;She rows so she needs certain athletic clothes for that. &nbsp;She is homeschooled so she doesn't need a lot of different clothes for school. &nbsp;She likes to have cute outfits for youth group and a little dressier clothes for church. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-for-a-teen-girl#post-1577728 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:34:12 +0000 ClaraT 1577728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a lot depends on where you live and whether she is quite active and/or if she have to walk a lot? California essentials are probably a lot different than Minnesota essentials.<br />Here are the things I *see* on teen girls: opaque black leggings; skinny jeans; ripped jeans (maybe too unpolished for your daughter)?; Converse; tall boots; booties; loose tops with decorative tanks/bralets; plaid shirts; denim jackets; scarves. But I'm afraid this is too vague to be useful!<br />Maybe look through pinterest with her, staring with her favorite orphan e.g. search for blue blazer and you'll get loads of looks. You can use a few favorites as a starting point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-for-a-teen-girl#post-1577727 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:31:44 +0000 Liz 1577727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd start for her the way I would for an adult: make a list of activities that need capsules, how many outfits she needs in each capsule for good variety, and then make the list from there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Check out this Into Mind how-to post, which has a boden-esque capsule for going off to college. A slight adjustment would make it work well for your daughter. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://into-mind.com/2015/08/06/20-pieces-20-outfits-how-to-build-a-versatile-capsule-wardrobe-for-college/"><a href="http://into-mind.com/2015/08/06/20-pieces-20-outfits-how-to-build-a-versatile-capsule-wardrobe-for-c" rel="nofollow">http://into-mind.com/2015/08/0.....robe-for-c</a>...</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-for-a-teen-girl#post-1577721 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:17:02 +0000 Anne 1577721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 14 year old daughter and I would like to develop a wardrobe for her rather than a collection of wardrobe orphans that languish in a closet. &nbsp;I am not sure how to begin a list of wardrobe essentials for a teen girl. Her style is more tailored and classic. &nbsp;Her favorite stores are Eddie Bauer &nbsp;Boden, and J. Crew. &nbsp;What would you put on the list? </p>
