Teens are not known to be fond of wearing formal wear. Many say it's uncomfortable, restrictive, or just plain fussy. Apparently, teens have found a way around this. Just look at how my friends did it.
Greek Goddess in Golden Sneakers
While my good friend Athena (named after the a Greek Goddess)who recently celebrated her 13th birthday, was willing to go all out with the formal wear and accessories, she opted to wear gold sneakers with her dress. I can surely understand why. After all she has so many things to do as star of the night. As you can see, she carried herself so gracefully and elegantly even in sneakers.
A lot of girls during the event had the same idea by coming in formal clothes paired with sneakers.
Dance Partner in Walking Shorts and Trainers
Looking at this picture of a male friend of ours, you wouldn't notice anything extraordinary. Once you see the full picture though, the unexpected sight of walking shorts and trainers he is wearing may be an initial surprise but certainly lent a comfy feel to an otherwise formal coat and tie look. He definitely carried his outfit with the confidence only a person truly comfortable with himself can do.
Many young male guests were also seen with long-sleeved polo shirts and ties but also sporting their reliable trainers.
The Classic Option
And then there were those like me who played it safe by going for dresses and heeled shoes for females and coat and tie with long pants and leather shoes for males. What is important though is that everyone had fun. It's nice to have the freedom to express ourselves in what we wear.
Us teens have reinvented formal wear in the name of comfort and personal style but can still definitely bring it on, under strict dress codes when needed.
Fashionable Mother
I simply have to say this, the celebrant's mother, Tita Tonee's outfit is very classy, made sporty by the gold elevated sneakers she is wearing. So clearly, fashion is not the monopoly of teens.
