I am a 15 girl and going to London and then Paris this summer and I just really don't want to have that "tourist" look. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me what people are wearing. I don't want people to be wearing nudes, and pastels, and I show up in bright colorful clothing... So any help with:
Shirts/tops
Pants
Skirts
Shoes
Hair
Thanks

When I am in London, most teens seem to be dressed about the same as in the US. Ditto for Paris. Shorts may be a little less common, but that may just be that the weather is not often as warm.

Hey how to get perfect fitting jeans? I mostly suffered problem while purchasing.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Just wear what you would at home when out shopping or sightseeing. Imagine yourself showing visitors to your home around where you live - would you wear anything different or expect or want them to change their clothes to fit in?

That's what my teens did and still do (I have 4 of them, if it's any help) when they travel to Paris, Berlin, Barcelona (or anywhere else in Europe) or even the US, (which they do). Actually, wearing UK (budget) fashion brands like TopShop and Primark tends to ensure the girls at least get positive comments on their clothes! (This doesn't happens with the boys LOL!)

Thing is, you will be pretty much recognised as a 'tourist' the minute you open your mouth. And in some places just by your shoes or handbag. So don't sweat it, be yourself, and have a great time!

I agree that teen fashions here and in the UK are not as different as one might think. if you want to buy some London fashions I'd agree with Topshop or Primark. Also the Gap seems to be pretty popular though twice as expensive as here.

I do buy a nice pair of trousers or blouse when I'm in London. If nothing else, I always receive compliments when wearing it at home.

Most young people around in central London are tourists anyway, unless you wear a chicken suit, it's doubtful you'll stand out. Enjoy-Londons a wonderful trip for a teen.

Skinny jeans with Converse trainers
Leggings with ballet pumps
Long Tshirts
Long cardigans

You'll fit in perfectly. But dare to be different !!

Bellini has it right.

Plus, long hair down or in a ponytail, short hair just short.

Just returned from London and Paris and Bellini is spot on. Most teens around here are wearing the same type of clothing so I really don't think you have much to worry about! Don't stress about it and just have fun!

The clothes are no different. You go on holiday not an exhibition. Why do you care how you look in the eyes of others. Should you see fit and you feel good the other is irrelevant.

"Also the Gap seems to be pretty popular though twice as expensive as here"

Only to us middle aged farts with a fashion sense unchanged since about 1985. It has less than 1% of the UK market, and its sales are falling as fast here as in the museums it passes off as shops in its US heartland. Even us geriatrics find Next and M&S have kept up better with the times.

The dominant young fashion chain, after TopShop/Top Man, is New Look. Primark isn't really set up for really fast reaction to current street trends, though it offers unbeatable value on what was fashionable a month ago. Oasis and All Saints follow, for those with a bit more cash. Zara and Mango far less popular than in Continental Europe: H&M is overwhelmingly the biggest non-UK vendor for younger people, though UK teenage tastes are very idiosyncrsatic (it's only the middle aged who think they're the same everywhere), so H&M underperforms the local chains.

Well, back to Thomas12, usually get jeans that are to short, and tuck them into boots in the winter. Or in the Spring and summer, again with the short jeans, just cuff them and have capris. I have like 2 pairs that actually fit( but still to short :/ )
And to everyone else, thank you soo much!
