product is clothing. Clothing is adolescents’ top spending category. The reason is that clothing is used due to their symbolical value and its power to establish relationships with peers during adolescence (Chaplin & John, 2005). Furthermore, clothing is used to compensate the low levels of self-esteem in this period. According to Sproles (1986), adolescence is a time of refining self-concepts and learning social skills.
