How to find the right style clothing for a teenage girl?

How can I get my teenage daughters (ages 14 and 15) to understand and identify THEIR style of clothing? They are slim and dress modestly but have no guidance as to what will look good on them.

They are transitioning from tee-shirts and jeans to tops/blouses and dresses.

They are following their friends and trying to buy clothes that are too stylish and inappropriate for their ages and school. They have visions of being fashionable and don't realize that they aren't old enough, don't have that kind of money, and look slutty in sheer and low-cut tops.

    Buy them the Seventeen magazine. It's a little bit older, but it's around their age, and it has cute outfits that aren't slutty or trashy. Just maybe have your wife or girlfriend or whatever sit down and talk to them about how people see them with the way they dress and explain that dressing to what appeals to them will start a new trend -being original- instead of following the crowd. I hope all works well for you and your family. :]

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I want to help but I really dislike the way you are describing your daughters. I understand that you are concerned but don't say they look slutty. Anyway...

    Teenage years are difficult. I'm 16 and trying to find my own style right now. Explain to them what's inappropriate. Nothing too short, too tight, too low, etc. But other than that give them some freedom. I'm not saying buy them everything they want but let them experiment with styles. Hopefully they will figure out what they like to wear and won't follow the crowd. Have a little more faith in them. Hope I helped.

    Try buying magazines that are more their age they usually have fashion sections in there and are appropriate. If they like more expensive clothes try buying them secondhand at Goodwil or on ebay. It's perfectly find that they want to be more fashionable every girl can't wear tees forever. But eventually they will be more fashionable and you have to accept that they are growing up and want to dress the way they want and you cant really stop them!

    Just tell them 2 be unique whatever catches their eyes as they see clothes may just be what they like, and everyone has a pattern or something similiar they like in all their clothes if they don't know what it is, have them find many clothes that catch their eye, and look real hard for that pattern

    take them to like the mall to see what they like (if ur not agreeing with the style that they want then they are gonna be upset with you) see what they're style is then say like i think thats good but i also think that this will look awesome at you, its hard with teenagers(trust me i am one) but it took a long time before my dad understand it takes longer patience and you need to listen, and to understand that the styles have changed
