The Method of Teenage Trend In Mexico
When I went to Mexico City last summer, my friends told me that if I am looking for something contrasting in terms of trend, I might as well look elsewhere. And I guess they are right: many teens dressed as if their threads were just bought off the shelf at K-Mart or Saks. Ah, the edge of American lifestyle indeed. If you share the same border perimeter as the "Norte Americanos" like the Mexicans, you might as well be influenced by their trend sense and style, too.
Most Mexican teenagers go for the general American wear of T-shirts, jeans pants, and rubber shoes. Since the megalopolis is located high up in the mountains, temperatures there are normally muggy. However, Mexicans are sensitive impressible to any unwarranted exposure of skin, so they do not go out much in shorts or skirts. Being the earnest Catholics that they are, they instead will follow the next best flipside in dressing cool: fashion styles and themes mainly culled from TV and cable programs aired from their wealthy northern neighbor. They mostly do their patronizing in low-cost stalls called "Tianguis." There are also well-heeled stores like the Spanish designer shop Zara, which is commensurate to Banana Republic in the U.S.
However, yonder of the big cities, Mexican life revolves around long-held customs. So it is no wonder that the yonder and threads will closely adhere to age-old cultural values as well. The old people usually wear local costumes that differ from one place to another. Usually, they consist of vivid cloths that are woven and embroidered gilded by hand, and "huaraches" or leather sandals. The juveniles, on the other hand, follow the same routine as their groupmates in the cities.
