When building a wardrobe as a teenager there are several places that you can start. However, one of the best places to start is your shoe wardrobe. Shoes really complete your look, but they need to be as functional as they are fashionable. It is because of this that it is a good idea to buy specific shoes for specific activities.

Casual Shoes
The first shoes that you will want to add to your shoe wardrobe are casual use shoes. These shoes will generally be inexpensive and very basic in design and fashion. Canvas tie-up and slip on shoes work well as the staple of your casual shoe wardrobe. They are low cost so you don't have to worry if they get grass stains, muddy or damaged. You will use your casual shoes for activities like mowing the lawn and hanging around the house.

Athletic Shoes
The next type of shoes that you will want to invest in are athletic, or activity specific shoes. For example, if you skateboard you will want to purchase skateboarding shoes and if you dance then you will want to purchase dance shoes. You may also want to pick up shoes for hiking, walking on the beach and walking.

Dress Shoes/Fashion Shoes
The most fun category for shoe shopping is dress shoes and fashion shoes. These are the shoes in your wardrobe that make a statement. When selecting fashion shoes you will want to look for a style that compliments your personal style and the clothes that are in your wardrobe, and you will also want to look for special shoes that will update the overall look of your clothing wardrobe.

For example, teen girls can pick one pair of fashion shoes each season that are fashion forward for that season and that also compliments their existing seasonal wardrobe. This may mean buying a trendy pair of heels or a trendy pair of sandals. Teen boys can update the look of their wardrobe by finding a trendy pair of loafers or a trendy pair of sneakers. By adding the trendy shoes to your existing wardrobe you can update the look of your wardrobe without having to buy all new clothing.
