So, what is a Tween anyway?

You have heard the term tween but what exactly does it mean? In the modern-day, it refers to a person between the ages of 9-12. Advertisers came up with the term to refer to a new demographic. “Too old for toys but too young for boys”. LOL! Kids between the ages of 9 and 12 (and sometimes as early as 8) are in between a child and a teen. Tweens are beginning to develop their sense of self, emotionally, socially, and physically.

Life sure has changed a lot in the past 25 years. I remember when I was my kid’s age (9 and 10) I played with Barbies, rode my bike around playing cops and robbers, and loved Saturday morning cartoons. I didn’t have a computer, phone, or tablet. With media and technology, kids’ interests have changed and the tween was born. I hope to provide support, information, and fun as I navigate through the tween years. Wish me luck!

Tween Dresses

We are certainly going into a new season with new trends right now. Accordingly, we are looking all over for new tween dresses we think you would fall in love with! With this in mind, we have been searching all over the net and through social media.

For the purpose of effective trend research, we follow some important teen and women wear accounts. As a result, we are able to predict what could transform into tween fashion and junior style.

All in all, these are good styles that will keep in fashion for some seasons. Further, we also chose age-appropriate outfits to make you look more stylish according to your age.

Some brands use older models and the dresses look short, but it is made according to your height and age. As we know, these models are always thin and tall! That’s mostly because fashion is trying to express a dream image. In other words. make your own dream image with the dresses you like!

Jackets for Tweens

To find the best choice of Girls Jackets and outerwear for girls age 7-14 years we have looked for classic and neutral styles. We think that outerwear should fit with most of the clothes girls wear. For that reason, we have made a particular choice to fit most girls but still keeping it trendy with a special touch.

Girls jackets for transition and Spring are dominated by satin bombers, denim bombers with patches and details as well as down classic vests and not to mention the biker or moto jacket. We can not stay away from Moncler down vests and jackets that are classic and trendy and will last you forever. They have been here forever as well! We call that trend “the city puff jacket“. Sporty hoodies are also here to stay and they have also been transformed into sweater hoodie dresses. We love them!
