Background of the Study
In today’s globalized world, media plays a pivotal role in shaping cultural and social trends, particularly among young people. Teenage fashion, which often reflects the desires, aspirations, and attitudes of the youth, is heavily influenced by various media outlets, including television, social media, and fashion magazines (Okoye & Bello, 2024). In Wase LGA, Plateau State, teenagers are exposed to both local and international fashion trends through media, which they often adopt and modify according to their own cultural context. While traditional forms of fashion influence such as family and peer groups remain important, media platforms have become a dominant force in determining what is considered stylish and fashionable. This study seeks to explore how different types of media—especially social media and television—affect teenage fashion trends in Wase LGA, focusing on the factors that drive media consumption among teenagers and how they translate media content into fashion choices.
