Abercrombie & Fitch
Located in malls and online
|
For those teens concerned about status and the labels on their clothes, Abercrombie & Fitch has long been one of the "in" brands among teen clothing stores. Their clothing for both genders tends toward the "preppy" look, although many items like button-up shirts will be at home in any wardrobe. | ||

Hot Topic
Located in malls and online

Hot Topic is the place to go for clothes that are a little out of the ordinary. If you like your clothing dark and brooding, or maybe a little punk, black leather pants, trench coats, and studded belts are just a few of the things you can find on the racks. Even those who shy away from the full "goth" look turn to Hot Topic for the store's unique selection of t-shirts featuring hot bands, pop culture icons, humorous sayings, and nostalgic characters. | ||

Pacific Sunwear
Located in malls and online
|
The clothing of Pacific Sun, often abbreviated PacSun, reflects a surfing and skateboarding style. But even if you've never set foot on a board, you can still enjoy the patterns and cuts of clothing styles evoking lazy days on the beach. When you have to take a geometry test instead, maybe you can channel some of that relaxation. | ||

Thrift shops and secondhand stores
Locations vary; check local listings for Salvation Army, Goodwill, and other stores.
|
For truly original looks, great deals on designer labels, retro style, and perfectly worn-in jeans, thrift shops can't be beat. Goodwill and The Salvation Army are two nationwide names in the secondhand clothing business, but many communities have their own signature shops, whether they're run by a local charity or a small business owner. | ||

Buckle stores are among the best teen clothings stores to go for the latest jeans for men and women from top designer names like Lucky, Guess, and BKE.

9. |
Gap
Located in malls, standalone stores, and online
|
The Gap offers quality clothes in classic styles. Gap clothing manages to be popular without ever being truly "trendy" in the way that resigns clothing to the back of the closet after just a few uses. It's the place to go for khakis, polos, and basic tees. Celebrity ad campaigns keep the clothing store in the public eye, and the latest hot collection is the Product (Red) line; half the profits from the sale of Product (Red) shirts support efforts to eliminate AIDS in Africa. | ||

10. |
Old Navy
Located in malls, standalone stores, and online
|
Old Navy offers timeless looks like khakis and fleece pullovers with seasonal style. The store has crossover appeal for the whole family, although mom might want to think twice before buying the same cargo pants as her daughter. Teen just can't live through that sort of mortification. | ||

Comments
It can be difficult to be a bit too old for clothes from the kids' department but not quite old enough to shop in the juniors' section. Although it's a juniors store, Deb might be a good choice, especially in the fall and spring when they stock dresses for homecoming and prom. They are available in most malls and offer a wide selection of dress styles at generally affordable prices, especially if you shop slightly off-season for sales and clearance. LoveToKnow Teens has an article on Deb prom dresses if you'd like to know more. Gap Kids might be another possibility. When I search online for tween dresses, a lot of stores that focus on dresses for your age group are small boutiques, so you might just have to look around for unique shops.
-- Contributed by: LorieI'm 11 years old and 54kg. I cant find a nice party dress or bridesmade dress for my age.I was wondering where could I order from.
-- Contributed by: hazal yagcıThe one store that seems to sell jeans in size 000 is Bui-Yah-Kah. Unfortunately, they only have stores in Texas. If you don't live in the area, you may be able to ask your parents to look on online auction sites for secondhand sellers.
