I know a teenager who usually dresses well, but sometimes she could use a little help. Her dad was concerned about this since she has sweet sixteens and a prom and a semi-formal in the next few weeks. I took her shopping a few weeks ago. I stood back as she picked out a few lovely dresses. I selected a few for her also. She loves the color black. I thought that red or pink would look pretty, but she just wasn't interested. So instead she selected two beautiful black dresses that she loves for the color and her dad loves for the styles, not low cut or short or tight.
If you can't go shopping with her, maybe you can bring a clothing catalog and show her outfits that are a little more appropriate. You can say something like, "I saw this outfit, and I thought that you would look gorgeous in it." or "This is perfect for you." That way you can be sensitive to her feelings, but also make your point.
