Question

What should I wear with tight pants?

Community Answer

Wear a baggy t-shirt of sweater, depending on the weather. It's always good to wear a baggy shirt with tight pants, and vice versa.

Question

How can I keep my nails clean?

Community Answer

You can keep your nails clean by cleaning them often with a brush and soap. You simply rub a brush (you can use a toothbrush) with soap onto your nails, and that should eliminate the microbes and dirt. Make sure to trim your nails regularly so there's less room for dirt to accumulate.

Question

How can I look good if I'm required to wear a uniform in school?

Community Answer

You can always touch up a few things here and there. For example, if you are required to wear a blazer, then only fasten one button, and it would really show off your figure.

Question

I have lots of clothes but I can never decide what to wear. Do you have any suggestions that might make the decision easier?

Community Answer

Set aside an afternoon to try them all on in different outfits, trying lots of mix and match combinations. Whenever you love a particular combination, take a photo of it with your phone so you can remember it. Once you're done and have at least 20 combinations photographed, create a file on your phone or computer called "Outfits", which you can refer to whenever you can't think of what to wear. Do this for each seasonal change of the year and you'll be set to wear things with ease. Repeat it again whenever you get enough new clothes in your wardrobe.

Ask a friend or family member to give you their opinion about what you're wearing. There is no harm in having a second opinion.

Plenty of 12-year-olds wear tube tops and crop tops, but it really depends on what you feel comfortable wearing and what your parents feel comfortable letting you wear.

I am a teen with an inverted-triangle-shaped body. Is it okay for me to wear off-the-shoulders?

Community Answer

I think everyone can look good in an off-the-shoulder top. Try adding a choker or necklace.

Question

How do I look good if I'm fat as a girl?

Community Answer

You can always look good in whatever clothes you want to wear if you are overweight. You could wear baggy cropped jumpers/tube tops and tight jeans. The baggy jumper will help make your legs look slimmer and the tube tops show off your curves.
