The world of teen fashion isn’t one that’s often address here at The Fashion Police because, let’s face it, it’s kind of a lawless land. We all know that teenagers wear – and occasionally even get away with – things that we adults just wouldn’t even consider trying on. Until now, that is.
Before you are two pairs of pants, both from Hot Topic, and both ugly in their own unique ways. Will you go for the oversized flares, accessorised with strips of tartan, or would you prefer to keep it skinny,and wear your shoelaces where you can see them – all the way up your legs? The choice is yours, but remember, you must pick one of them – or die!

Definitely the skinny with the shoelaces. You could get pretty ribbon or something to replace the black and match your top.
I second the skinnies! I mean, at least they have nice shape..
It’s a tough one… The skinnies though, at least they’d look nice from the back!
I _am_ a teenager, but I won’t wear one of them. But if I had to decide, I would take the skinny ones.
When I was a teen (early teens I’ll add) i’d have plumped for the second pair.
Thus, due in part to my shame, I’d pick the skinnies. And i don’t even like skinny jeans much.
I hate plaid. Skinnies by default.
The skinnies are less hideous from an on-the-rack point of view. Initially I thought I would have to go with them. Then I realised that, while leaving the house in pair no 2 may leave me looking like some kind of homeless unwashed faux-scot emo, I won’t look like I’m selling something that … I’m not selling.
I don’t do skinnies (oh chunky thighs, my archnemesis!) but I’d still pick pair 1.
I’m going to go with the skinnies.
In my early teens, I would have gone with the 2nd choice, but no more !
At least skinnies are in style…
Totally the skinnies. The one’s on the right look like boy’s pants, and totally remind me of Hot Topic circa ’95. With the return of Dr. Marten’s I guess the fashion cycle is spinning in that direction once more.
The first ones, that was easy!
Skinnies all the way!
skinnies. i could go to a metal gig with those and everybody would thing i’m hot. heheh.
by the way, i’m still a teenager
skinnies. I like tartan, but bondage-esque trousers should be narrow, not have flares (old school punk taste here).
Skinnies for real. I’m still a teen and I think that the second pair of pants are hideous. Go Skinnies!
I’m going to buck the trend here and go with the big ones. I kind of like big wide legs and drapey styles anyway, and I think with a cute tee shirt, it might not look so, um, prostitute as the skinny pair.
I would definitely chose the skinny pants. But I’m confused, why did you say they were from Wet Seal? They’re from the store Hot Topic (a store with a theme of gothic, grunge, emo, ect.)
definitely the second pair.
I’d choose the black skinnies, at least they are less hideous!
Definitely the skinny ones with the shoelaces. It would actually look okay with a lacy top.
dearest fashion police, THIS IS NOT TEEN FASHION, it’s the old avril fashion, we teens pride ourselves on having a better head on our shoulders, therefore i would i say skinnies cos they’re black and well…SKINNY
I’m a teen, and I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the baggie tartan pants. They’d make you look like a male, punk doofus. The skinnies could be cute with the right shoes, bag, and top.
heh, I believe I still own a pair similar to the plaid bondage pants that I wore in High school. There other ones I wouldn’t have even worn in high school.
Well, if I was thin enough the skinnies certainly! but I rather do love the flared tartan junk who couldn’t ^.^ (yes, I have no shame!)
15, aus
I am a teenager! I own those pair of skinny jeans. my bff has the baggy ones!
hehe!
love them both!!!!!!
the 2nd ones. i am a teenager and i have a pairs like that…only purple and not plaid. my friends luv them. hehe. but i havent worn them much….
A teen here as well.
I’d definitely pick the baggy tartans for me. Not that I particularly like them, but I just don’t like skinny jeans. Its not in my style, and can only make their way there on very rare occasions. Yes, they do look good on other people, I have friends who make them look very attractive, but not for me.
I also have a vast selection of punk-inspired tops which would match quite well, even though I’m not really a pants person.
i love the tarten pants
although i think the other pair are cool, i only like plan skinnys.
i think the laces would look good on jeans more like the tartens.
btw im 17. xx
almost forgot…
the tartans*.
i want i want i want
He He He…
I have those skinnies along with yellow and black checkered jeans…
but i’m a punk teenager so it’s okay
you people seriously need to leave hot topic, the best store in the whole wide world, out of this because its one thing to make fun of peoples ugly dresses but makeing fun of hot topic is taking this way too far and i would wear both on a daily basis if i could
I think you maybe need to not take things you read on the internet so personally, Kaylie. Other people are allowed to have opinions too, you know…
i actually love the flared ones with the chain, i think they are sooo nice!
Shoelace ones are kind of creative. Maybe if they weren’t so poorly made… and were.. brown.. I’d wear them anyways.
I like th
I really like both, then again I’m 14, I would xD
i love the skinnies! i think the laces are a very cute touch….
but maybe i think this because i’m a teenager
The ones on the left really aren’t that bad. Will they fall apart immediately like everything else I’ve gotten from Hottopic? Sure. But.. I wouldn’t mind them.
