One of the biggest shocks when you arrive in a new country can be the clothes people are wearing. You may look fashionable at home, but you suddenly find you are behind the times or simply someone to laugh at when you arrive abroad. With this in mind, let's take a look at teenage fashion in the UK for girls.

One of the things that may shock an outsider most is piercings（镂空） . These days it is not enough to simply wear rings in your ears. You will see many teenagers with rings in their navel（肚脐） , or belly¹ button, nose, lip, or even their eyebrow². Ouch! 

Some girls go for a ' glam（迷人的） ' look. They wear T-shirts from India with sequins（亮片） and beads³（玻璃粉） . Trousers are usually preferred, blue or black, and the look is finished off with metallic⁴ bags and shoes and arms full of bracelets⁵（手镯，手链） .

Another alternative is the 'rocker' look. You start with a T-shirt of your favourite band and tight jeans or a long skirt. On top of this you can wear a denim⁶（斜纹粗棉布） jacket. Jewellery tends to be large and metallic, and to add colour wear a scarf.

If neither of these is for you, why not go 'sporty'. T-shirts are usually tie-dyed in hot colours. Wear this with long shorts, short jeans or a denim skirt. And on your feet? Beach sandals（凉鞋，拖鞋） , of course!

If you prefer something more feminine, there's the 'girly' look. Skirts are long, to the floor. Wear a top with butterflies or flowers printed on it. In addition, wear ballet shoes（芭蕾舞鞋） and lots of beads!

Finally, how about the 'Tom Boy' look? Wear flared⁷ jeans and a T-shirt with a logo. Don't forget your waistcoat（背心，马甲） , of course! Use lots of different fabrics⁸ if possible, like denim, cord and leather, and high-heel boots to finish off!

Follow the fashion tips above, and you shouldn't feel out of place（感到拘束） . However, it's important to remember to wear clothes and choose a look that you feel comfortable with. Don't just be one of the crowd – be yourself!
