Aisha

I love clothes and shopping. I would describe my look as 'stylish'. I like designer labels and I would never wear torn or baggy clothes — too scruffy! My favourite clothe are my black, knee-length trousers, my striped shirt and my flat, pointed boots. They're really cool. Lots of people my age wear jeans, T-shirts and woolly hats — no way!

Eddie

I like clothes, but I don't buy designer stuff, I suppose my style is 'casual'. I wear jeans most of the time when I 'm not at school. I like T-shirts and sweatshirts, but I don't wear a hoodie very often. My favourite clothes are my jeans, a T-shirt my brother brought me from New York, trainers and my leather jacket. I think it's a cool look — not formal.

Lynn

I love sports and being outside, so I never wear formal clothes. I'm a skateboarder, so my favourite clothes'are skater fashion. I wear baggy T-shirts and baggy, torn jeans, and boots. I never wear coats or jackets because I live nin my hoodie. When it's really cold, I also wear a blackwoolly hat. I think it's very cool and trendy. My mum says I look scruffy, but I like my look.

Vikram

People at my school say I 'm trendy. I'd say I have an alternative style. I like street fashion more than designer labels. At the moment my favourite clothes are my tight black denim jeans, pointed boots, a white shirt and a striped, silk waistcoat. I sometimes wear hats, too, but never baseball caps or woolly hats. My parents would like me to be smart, but I think clothes should be fun.
