Abstract: Clothing and fashion play significant role in the process of ageing, and help put bodily experiences in the context of culture. It is especially important for young people as social subjects, who are starting to become independent but do not have sufficient experience and social competences to do this. This paper explores how two groups of mainstream youth in Russia use clothing to denote their social identity and construct boundaries.
