Teen DD struggling with clothes

3 replies

DarkChocHolic · 09/05/2024 09:32

Hi,
DD16 has been miserable with her weight and finding clothes.
The recent warem weather has had her on tears as she cannot hide in hoodies and joggers.
She is a size 14 to 16 but she has large breasts she hates.
She does like to dress like the typical teen with short skirts and tight tops but is very very self conscious about it
She is also on a.lot off medication which could be making her sweat more so she needs cooler clothes but nice enough for a teen.
Can I ask for suggestions of Pinterest or Instagram people to follow for a curvy teen please?
Suggestions of where to shop in London and styles to keep an eye out for would also be gratefully received
Thank you!
Xx

awww bless so much self consciousness at that age. some quick ideas

  • urban outfitters, cargos and baggy graphic tshirts. current/trendy & comfortable. try on & buy cargos off vinted or depop for cheaper
  • uniqlo for cotton basics. they also have a range of like cooling clothes for summer
  • she can do a light hoodie with denim shorts, have a look at the shein curve section, bad quality but cheap & teens seem to like

@Keroppi
Thank you. She does love urban so will go there to take a look this weekend.
I think weekend or casual is slightly easy compared to 6th form clothes.
They have a smart clothes policy and she needs skirts and trousers with blouses etc for school.
This is what causes her a lot of upset...the mini skirts and tops she desperately wants to wear but cannot.

ah i see
perhaps oversized blazer w a skirt and loafers. a bit "japan school style/preppy"
or could she wear dresses with funky patterned cardis?
wide legged trousers and a blouse is cooling, comfy & trendy
is she into alternative style. i see a lot of teens at ds sixth form in a goth sort of office style like midi skirts with smart cropped jumpers over the top & shirts underneath
