What to Avoid When Buying Clothes for Tweens

Posted: Jan 24, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Shopping at stores like Justice and Old Navy will net great finds in tween clothing. This age group is very difficult to buy for because they are at an in between stage. Not only do tweens want to dress a bit older than they are, but they still want to keep in line with some of the younger styles and fashions that are indicative of their specific age group. This presents a dilemma for parents who shop for their children's clothing. How do you walk the thin line between pleasing your children with fashion forward looks that don't go beyond their age range?

Avoid Clothes That Are Too Mature

While a tween will always want to wear clothes designed for older teens, it's up to the parent to make sure they stay within an appropriate age range. Clothing that is too low cut or super tight is not for children of younger age groups. Many stylish fashion items can be toned down by layering clothing that is too low cut. For clothing that is too tight, it's probably better that parents of youth both males and females avoid such clothing. Since time passes fast and these years will soon be gone, your child can wait a few years and avoid the more mature styles until that time.

Avoid Clothing That Is Too Young

While you don't want to buy clothing too tight or mature for your tweens, you also don't want to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and buy clothing that is so big and loose that they will not wear the clothes, or worse, change out of them once they get to school. It's tempting to purchase clothing that is a size larger so that your tween will hopefully grow into the clothing, but that long term wear mentality is no longer useful, as most stylish clothing can now be purchased for very reasonable prices at the right stores. You'll want to make sure you shop at such stores so that the clothing you buy for your young one is fitted properly. This guarantees that the clothing you purchase will certainly be worn by your child.

Avoid Clothing That Is Too Expensive

The tweens years are still full of outside activities for both boys and girls and spending too much money on clothing for this age group is a big mistake. Find stores that will net great styles that won't break the bank. No tween wants to feel like she isn't keeping up the the fashions that others are wearing; however, make sure that you explain to your young one if she wants super expensive clothing, she should contribute to the purchase of the clothing with a portion of her allowance or other funds. This will make her appreciate such clothing more. You can keep your children happy and in style, as well as stay on a reasonable budget, by shopping at the right stores--many of which can be found online.
