What should parents do if they feel their children want clothes that are inappropriate for school? “There’s always a way to compromise," Vickers believes. “Young people have always worn things that were not accepted by their parents. While you must exert some influence, perhaps you can each give in a little.”
She pointed out the bell-bottom jeans, extreme mini-skirts and sloppy clothes of another generation, many of whom are parents of teenagers now.
Vickers doesn’t see this problem as coming to the forefront with today’s teenagers. “They may wear punk and period clothes, but it’s with a sense of humor. Basically, they want trim, wellfitting, expensive-looking clothes. Most teenagers have gone back to the tradition of having two sets of clothes — one for school and the other for leisure, instead of having only jeans and an assortment of tope,” she says.
About shoes, Vickers suggests: “They should always be the right size. Don’t try to cram your child’s feet into shoes that are too tight, or buy shoes that are too large so he can wear them for years. Older girls should not wear uncomfortable shoes or high heels all the time. This can lead to later trouble.
Jackets and coats, two major expense items, do not have to be bulky or heavy. “New fabrics make it possible to have lightweight garments of excellent warmth and comfort,” Vickers says.
