What are the hot trends/brands/items for tweens and teens?

[Corie]

Might be too old but spent a weekend at ds1’s college. Ugly white sneakers- any brand (truly, I saw no predominant brand) were worn by everyone. Clothes were really all over the place though I’d say high waisted jeans and crop tops were seen most for ladies.
No gadgets of note.

Every time I go see my daughter at college, I see the same uniform. White Air Force One sneakers, mom jeans, crop tops.

The biggest trend I’ve seen but it’s getting a little cold for it now are the teen girls wearing pleated skirts like you wear for tennis. Athleta, Lululemon and Nike. Saw this in NY. Saw this in the south where we live. My DD has no interest but many of the teen girls including my niece were wearing them. I play tennis so the whole trend makes me laugh.

Yes, that is definitely a trend here in Ohio too.

Adidas, Abercrombie, Nike, lululemon, Pacsun, American Eagle, Other?

I have become an expert in fleece joggers this year. So much trial and error. Gray is the in the color this year and black is always fine. This year I have gotten Nike, Jordan and wait for it . . . Aeropostale! Aeropostale is the best deal of century. The problem you will have is fit. My sophomore wears Nike/Jordan mediums (note that the Jordan ones fit differently than Nike) but Aeropostale small. He's about 5'11 (probably under) and about 140, probably a little under. The mediums were huge *HUGE* in the waist. He is wearing the small version. They are on the shorter side but it's ok. One of my 13 year olds is about 113 and 5'6' and extra small Aeropostale is slightly big but very manageable. I highly highly recommend.

Thanks for this! Seems like the fleece joggers by Aeropostale might be a good idea for DS1.


ETA: do you know how many inches your son's waist is? DS1 is 5'11 and probably 175lbs. His waist is 34" and the Aeropostale sizing guide says large, which is his normal size.

Aeropostale said medium for my kid and it was stupid wrong. I think my kid’s waist is 30/31.

Good to know. DS1 is a medium in Vuori joggers so sounds like Aeropostale might be similar.

Thanks for this - I ordered 2 pairs of the Aeropostale joggers for DS1. I went with the small but I'm second guessing that they will be too large in the waist. The price was right and he gave the go-ahead. Thought it was funny that I asked him to pick 2 colors and he chose gray first, followed by black.

Aeropostale has been killing it with great prices on everything, including jeans. Their jeans fit well too as I have a hard time finding 29x32s in stock anywhere, yet they have quite a variety and are stocked in the store.

Sounds like I need to check out Aeropostale. Thanks for the recommendation!
