We’ve had a few requests for a post on tween fashion and we thought it was about time for a comprehensive round up. So, here’s the lowdown on clothing your tween in clothes that you are sure to agree on.
First of all, what is a ‘tween’? The definition varies slightly depending on who you ask, but the general consensus seems to be a child aged 7-12 years old. They’re not little kids any more (as they remind you all too frequently!) but they’re not teenagers or adults either, so walking that fine line for age-appropriate clothing can be tricky. Luckily these days an increasing number of fabulous Australian boutique brands are coming to the party which is improving your choice out of sight.
For your easy reference, here’s the list of our favourite tween brands and the sizes they go up to. To find stockists click through the links below, and/or do a search for your favourite brand using the KidStyleFile search tool.
Now if only getting them to clean their rooms or keep the phone bill down was this easy…
