Abstract
Although there is research done on the impact of clothing on mental health and body image, there is still a gap found. There is no research about how fashion trends–the cycle of how media and society find new fashion and choose it to be “in style”--are influencing adolescents. This led me to my question “What influence do fashion trends have on adolescents' body image and self esteem?”. Through this research, I administered a google form to secondary students asking questions regarding their clothing decisions, body image, and how they feel trends may impact their self esteem.
