Given that self expression through fashion is especially revered by the teenage set, it is no surprise that the 2011 fashion trends for teenagers are some of the most varied in recent history. In fact, "history" is a big part of current fashion trends - teenagers have added modern details to popular looks from the '70s, '80s and '90s to give old-fashioned trends a new, fresh feel.
Take, for instance, cross-body bags. These were big in the 70s, then again in the 90s, but the 2011 favorite is smaller, daintier and features chunky buckles and hardware along with distressed leather detailing or fringe. The result is a dainty "saddle bag" look reminescent of oldtime Western movies like this cross-body bag by Bryna.
