Before you head to the mall or get on the computer, make sure you keep the following important shopping tips in mind:

Get permission from your parents before buying clothes online. Use credit cards with caution.
Most teens are still growing. If you think you haven't reached your full height or adult size, you might not want to spend a lot of money on clothes that you will outgrow and get tired of once they're no longer "in style."
One way that you can show some individuality with your fashion is through the use of accessories. Fortunately, you will find plenty of ways to add unique flair to your outfits.
Know your size before you start shopping. Sizes vary by the store, but you can get a good idea by trying things on at several different places. If you're shopping online, grab a tape measure to get your measurements before you buy.
Because Junior trends change so quickly, think twice about buying off-season items on sale. Although the deals are good, the item may be out of style by the time the weather is right for it.
Take stock of your wardrobe before you go shopping. You may have a ton of jeans, but only one functional skirt. Knowing what you have will help you decide what direction you'd like your shopping trip to take.
Know what's in style and what you like. Peruse teen magazines to find trends that speak to you, and then search the teen clothing stores for items that meet your needs.
