One item of clothing that’s a staple for girls of all ages no matter what time of year is jeans. The great thing about jeans is they’re virtually unlimited when it comes to fashion versatility. Right now your daughter or granddaughter may be tucking her jeans inside warmly lined boots to keep her cozy and warm. Once the weather gets warmer she’ll want to wear them with sandals or flip-flops. As our economy sputters back to life, jeans will continue to be a core fashion item for girls in 2009 and beyond. For warmer weather she might choose jeans cut shorter to Capri or shorts length. Or, she may enjoy wearing a casual denim skirt with a variety of blouses, T-shirts and other colorful tops.
A fashion look that’s gone beyond a being fad and now is considered an established trend is the unexpected pop of color. It started with women who might’ve paired a red or bright yellow purse with a black and white outfit. Now girls, tweens and teens have picked up on the trend and are popping their jeans and tops with bright accessories that are youthful, fresh and age appropriate. She may have years to go until she gets her driver’s license but she still wants everyone to know she’s up-to-date and knows what’s going on.
The hottest way for girls to pop a pair of jeans this spring is with a belt. The special girl in your life can take it even further with an XpressIt belt she can customize with Twistonz.
