Teenagers have developed a myriad of styles that are popular today. Labels such as "emo", "prep", etc. are often attached to these styles, but one common theme seems to bind them all together: comfort.

Jeans are a must and are trendy, but are not a fleeting fad and therefore make a good investment. There are all sorts of styles, but when in doubt, you should look for something with a straight leg (this looks good on every body type) and with a mid-rise waist.

For girls with a smaller frame, skinny jeans are quite popular.

For girls with a larger frame, a flared leg boot cut jean will be very slimming. These girls should also look for dark washes.

For fashionable tops, you might look to teen trend-setting shops such as Forever 21, Wet Seal, Aeropostale, Charlotte Russe and Hot Topic. These are all fairly inexpensive, though the clothes don't hold up very long given the shoddy quality. In this case, since they will be out of style shortly, you may decide this doesn't matter. Check out their online stores to determine which shop best suits your style or the style of the teen you're shopping for.

Comfort rules in the world of shoes as well. Sneakers such as Converse are popular across the board as well as different styles of flats for girls.

As far as outer wear, teens seem to prefer hooded sweatshirts overwhelmingly. They come in loads of different patterns, fabrics and colors and should be selected based on the individual teen's style and interests.

Accessories that are both trendy and classic are bangle bracelets, small hoop or stud earrings and pendants on silver chains. Try to pick up a mixture of statement pieces and subtle touches to mix and match with your outfits.

Square scarves have very much come into style and are often selected in autumn-inspired checked patterns.

I hope this gives you a few ideas. For teen inspiration, try Google image searching some of the hottest teen celebrities of today such as Venessa Hudgens, Just Bieber, etc. Good luck on your quest for teen fashion!
