It looks like I am an old lady. I don't want him too, he thinks my mom does but she doesn't and we both talked to him and he won't stop! Help me!

Ask your mother to start picking out his clothes everyday so he gets a taste of his own medicine!
It might work!

It sounds to me like your step-dad is a control freak. Maybe he is afraid you will dress in a way that will disrespect him or in a way that makes you look attractive to boys. Sounds like he is afraid of having you hang out with the wrong people or being permiscuous which is why he is picking out the clothes for you.
Perhaps you can compromise. If your dad picks out something that really makes you look old or nerdy you can tell him that he doesn't have to worry about you getting in trouble, but you really don't feel comfortable wearing the clothes that he chooses because it is not your style.
You need to emphasize that you are an individual with different tastes and he needs to give you respect to pick out your own clothes and colors while still remaining sort of conservative.
Maybe your step dad watches a lot of TV where he sees teenage girls act slutty and bad and is afraid you may turn out that way. Goodluck, just tell him firmly next time when he buys your clothes that you want something more stylish and something that makes you look your age and not an older lady.

Be grateful to him for caring and suggest you go shopping together and only take him to stores where you know things you like to wear are, like Hot Topic, or even TJ Maxx has some cool things - tell him there is a reason why the clothes are called "Juniors" and it's not all about size.

Sounds like he has an infactuation with you. how long had he been your step dad, how old r u. he dont sound right in the head. your mom has the final say so why hasn't she stopped him. Things like what a girl wears should not be his worry, you dont sound as if you dress trashy, but what hes picking out sounds frumpy.have mom take you out that sounds more appropriate

Tell him your a big girl now, want to make your own decisions. Your glad he keeps you mind. Glad for his caring attitude. But its your turn now to dress yourself.
Just as long you don't go hooker 'ho' looking.
Choose blue jeans, shirts, shoes. No mini skirts. Choose skirts down to your knees.
