Hello. My name is Bradley and I'm a thirteen year old male. I'm currently 4ft 11" in height and around 8-8.5 stone in weight. For numerous reasons, I'd like a new look for 2011. So, I have a few questions.

1) Hair? It is currently black/dark brown. I don't really want to dye it. Should I gel it up and, if so, in what style like?
2) Clothes? What style of clothes. Jeans, skinny jeans? What brands?
3) Braces? I'm getting braces fitted soon. What colour?
4) Glasses? What kind of glasses look cool?
5) Pants? Should I sag them, wear them at hips or waist?
6) Weight? Should I lose some weight and tone up a bit?
7) Anything else?

1) Hair? Get a new haircut. If you want to be "trendy" and following fashion and the runways, get it shorter at the sides and back, then have the top long, like reaching your eyebrows long. slick it back, give it the messy just woke up look, have it down, spike it up. The possibilities are endless with this type of hair
2) Clothes? What's in right now are slimmer fighting clothes. please for goodness sakes, don't buy a shirt from an "expensive place" just because it has a huge brand name slapped across it. You are one very lucky kid living in London. Pay ol' oxford street a shopping visit. Clothes there are very fashionable. Some are pricey though. Some really great brands that I have tried and tested are H&m Zara and Mango, but you guys have New Look, Topman, and River island, which are also fantastic brands. These are fast fashion stores. Which means the latest trends and whatever is up on the runways are in these stores. Can't really go very wrong.
3) Braces? the least noticeable
4) Glasses? skip the raybans. Those are kinda 2010. Glasses depend on the shape of your face, either it flatters you or not. What's trending in the fashion world are tortoise-shell rims, but those are for the pros. I would recommend just some basic black frames
5) Pants? you should never sag them. Trousers and jeans would indicate how high you'd wear them. as long as the *inseam*(look it up) is around your crotch, then you're doing the right thing. Unless of course you buy trousers that specifically have a drop-crotch which i advise you skip for now.
7) Just experiment and really go figure out who you are, what you like what colours you love what shape, texture and mood you like, then mend it to what's "fashionable"
