It is no secret that when it comes to fashion, 11-year-olds are quite reliant on what their parents are doing. They want to look just like their parents, but with better clothing and accessories so they can look all their own. The question is, what do you think they are going to get from the latest fashion trends? Can children even withstand the pain of having to put on a dress that is way too big for them to fit into?
This is something that you definitely want to know before your child starts trying to get the latest fashions. Most of these fashions are made for young adults, not children. There are some fashion trends for children, but it is more about an adult style then it is about looking like the newest celebrity. Fashion is always changing, so your child should be able to adapt to whatever trend comes out. Let them try on some outfits and let them decide which looks good on them.
The reason why it is important to know the latest fashion trends is because there is no way that your child is ever going to tell you when to start dressing up. They do not work like a watch. They do not tell you when the rain is going to come so you can get dressed up. When it comes down to it, they just follow what they see their friends wearing and act accordingly.
