As many parents will be all too aware, teenage girls can be incredibly fickle. Peer pressure and a general desire to fit in are often contributing factors to this - especially when it comes to their need for the latest in fashion.
Fashion trends change so often though, that it can be hard to keep up with 'what's hot and what's not' - no teenage girl wants to be seen wearing clothes bearing last season's style.

Luckily for parents there are many great stores that stock a huge range of clothes specifically designed to appeal to the teenage fashionista. New Look is one of the best examples.
New Look, for example, has a massive selection of seasonal collections - perfect for a teen who's conscious of how she looks.
Here are just some of the most 'in' trends featured on the website:
Festival Cool: A collection exuding laidback coolness, it features clothes perfect for the upcoming festival season. Featuring soft tones, floral prints, coloured denim and Aztec prints, the clothes featured in this range are also great to wear during the warmer summer months.
Ditsy, colourful and - most of all - fun, the Teens White Floral Denim jeans are one of the range's most eye-catching items. Featuring a quirky pink rose print, these jeans can be complemented with the New Look Teen Crotchet Crop Top - which itself also boasts a cool hippy vibe, synonymous with that festival look.
Also available and perfect for completing the look, Heart Studded Sunglasses are an incredibly versatile accessory that can be used to complete the look. Mimicking the appearance of the po[censored] r Aviator sunglasses, they epitomize the word 'cool'.
Vintage Rebel: Whilst inspired by fabrics and designs of the seventies, there is nothing old about this range from New Look. Stylish, yet - at the same time -incredibly wearable, the clothes featured rely on classic Americana designs. This is evidenced by the Teens USA Flag Bandeau Top, with its faded print of the Stars and Stripes, and the Teens Cropped Denim USA Gillet - a perfect reflection of the rebellious spirit.
These particular items can be paired with shorts - such as the New Look Teens R+R Bleach Shorts, with their distinctly worn appearance - or skinny jeans, such as the Teens Snow Wash Skinny Jeans, featuring metal zip pockets.
Of course nothing screams rebellion quite like the skull and crossbones. The Teens White Skull Print Vest is full of punk attitude; its metal zip pocket, featured on the chest, only adds to its edgy look.
Exotic Escape: Providing that summer holiday feeling through a range of bright colours, tropical prints and Aztec patterns, the New Look Exotic Escape range again provides clothes great for those gorgeous summer days.
Making a really bold statement and ensuring they'll stand out from the crowd, the Teens Aztec Zip Front Bodycon Dress is a wonderful casual option; its slightly psychedelic pattern combines aqua, pink, yellow, blue and black to great effect.
Slightly simpler, the Red Supersoft Coloured Skinny Jeans are a must have for any teen. A versatile option - ideal to wear for parties or just hanging out friends - these jeans can be complimented with a huge range of the tees, tops, jumpers and jackets available from New Look.
