It is no joke that teenagers are very visual individuals. Media influences and fame set the tone for them to follow their icons, be it celebrities, musicians or even influential people, especially when it comes down to fashion and personal style.

When you walk down the road, it is so visible that our teenagers are the ones who follow and in fact are also the ones who set the trend for fashion as they seek to better their celebrity icons. The desire to "out-dress" these icons be good intentioned but also a huge risk step that steps them up to have what is known popularly termed "fashion disasters".

To keep the minds of young teenagers busy and far from becoming "fashion disasters", there are some friendly activities that you can use to involve teenagers, especially teen girls in to help them prevent "fashion disasters". Having dress up games for teenagers is one of them. Similar to the who's the fairest of them all question that Cinderella asked, today's teenage girls want to have their princess moment. Dress up games for teenagers can provide a friendly and fun platform for them to shine like princess.

Types of games

Media successes such as Bratz have influenced the way teenagers view fashion and the idea of getting several teenagers together to have a social fashion event, now seems very childish to most teenagers. While only a few years ago, most dress up games for teenagers took place at sleepovers or parties, today with everything moving online, many teenagers now prefer to play out their Cinderella-like moments on the internet instead of meeting with friends for a party of sorts. This is very pocket-friendly even for parents, because all that is needed is internet access.On the internet in iconic Bratz like style, there are several games that allow teenage girls of all ages to virtually dress up for different occasions, put on make up and accessorize a virtual character.

These dress games allow teenage girls to use their imagination without adding an extra dent or cost to them or their parents. The games are fun and interactive and in many cases do not require an installation on the user's computer.

Most of the games use cartoon like characters similar to the Bratz and some Japanese cartoons. One of the games, designed for older teenage girls, players are encouraged to play the game over a period of seven days to determine the best dress styles for their make-believe character. Some other games have multi-player connectivity, allowing players to compete with others in dress up games all on the internet. The real question is how these dress up games for teenagers influence players and users. Similar to the imaginary pet boom that took off several years ago, these games encourage a good use of imagination to dress characters and style them and they also encourage creativity to come out without making a big dent to parent's money pockets.
