A new wave of teenage fashion tension
Teenagers wanting to dress in a way their parents disapprove of is nothing new. If you’re a parent today, you probably remember leaving the house wearing a big sweatshirt, only to remove it to reveal your crop top once you were around friends. But the shifts in gender and sexuality add a new layer to teenage fashion complexity, says Cofield. “Fashion is also a generational thing that parents might struggle with. This can really be especially difficult for parents to accept if their teenager’s fashion choices are influenced by their sexual orientation or gender identity.”
