<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate a group of teenage girls and their relation to clothes by using the theories about habitus and different types of capital by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu.

How is a group of teenage girls who go to school in Stockholm city influenced by their habitus and symbolical capital in their attitude and relation to clothes?</p><p>2. What do the clothes symbolize for these girls?</p><p>We have interviewed four sixteen year old girls who all study at a high school in Stockholm city. Our conclusion is that each girls habitus and different assets of capitals have an influence on her attitude and relation to clothes. For our respondents the clothes symbolized status, economical capital and to look attractive to others.</p> / <p>Avsikten med denna uppsats var att undersöka en grupp tonårstjejer och deras relation till kläder utifrån den franske sociologen Pierre Bourdieus teorier om habitus och olika former av kapital. Vi har också använt oss utav semiotiken då vi även ville veta vad kläder symboliserar för våra respondenter. Våra frågeställningar blev därför:</p><p>1. Hur influeras en grupp tonårstjejer som går i skolan i Stockholm av sitt habitus och symboliska kapital när det gäller deras inställning och relation till kläder?</p><p>2. Vad symboliserar kläder för dessa tjejer?</p><p>För att besvara dessa frågor har vi intervjuat fyra sextonåriga tjejer som alla studerar vid ett gymnasium i Stockholms innerstad. Vår slutsats är att det habitus och olika tillgångar av kapital hos respektive tjej vi intervjuade påverkade hennes klädbruk. Kläderna symboliserade status, ekonomiskt kapital och att se attraktiv ut inför andra.</p>
