For girls, fashion is priority with an array of brands and shopping sites in Singapore as compared to guys. Therefore a wider range of styles can be spotted. Under my observation, the current trend among girls in their dressing and fashion are the following: CROP TOPS SKORTS FROM BRANDS LIKE H&M,ZARA, Black Dress from Forever 21, Zara, Topshop, etc. TOPSHOP Bottom: Skater skirt From brands like Topshop Pandora bracelets Shoes: Superga brand is the “IN THING” among girls Movies: As observed, the teens here are usually participating in common types of leisure activities and the main two trends that can be seen are teens watching a great deal of movies for entertainment and joining themed runs! Participating in Themed-Runs: Currently there is a trend of huge amount of teenagers signing up for running events especially those which are quirkier and based on a theme. Although Singapore hosts numerous conventional marathons and running events, teenagers are not enticed because they deemed such runs as boring and challenging for those unable to run competitively. Thus, attractively themed fun and creative runs are available to provide a refreshing experience. For example, last year’s successful 5KM Colour run & Ilumni run, vacant slots were snapped up within hours and teenagers played a huge role in participating. Our very own DE students could also be spotted! This proves that leisure runs are a growing trend among teenagers. Take part in the upcoming Zoo Run and Electric Run NOW! How about grabbing popcorn and catching a movie in the cinemas with friends? These days, teens are always looking forward to new movie releases. With the growing number of cinemas opening in shopping malls by Golden Village, Cathay Organisation and Shaw Organisation, accessibility is easy for those who want to catch a movie at the nearby malls from their schools/homes etc. Furthermore, prices range only from $7 - $11.50 with student promotions to draw more crowds. Note: DE students! For your information, you are conveniently surrounded by 3 theatres which are Cathay Westmall, Cathay Jem(NEW) & Shaw JCUBE. Why wait? Hurry down and catch the latest movie on screens with your FRIENDS! 21
