Top 5: Teen Stores


Here are some of the stores that many teenagers I know like to shop at. All of these stores are right on trend for the season. No matter if it is a boutique shop or a nationwide store teenagers just focus on how cute the clothes are. One of the big things about selling to teens is that as long as it appeals to one it will appeal too many. The key is that all of these stores know how to make the store itself relatable to teenagers and the clothes are adorable as well.
1.      American Eagle: This is a store that is always changing their clothes based on the weather, location, and the fashion industry itself. American Eagle’s clothes have a very preppy style to them. Each season there are always lots of polos and cardigans for the men and women. Some of the main types of clothes they focus on for women are their AEO jeans, dresses, sweaters, and their blazers. Lately thought American Eagle has been really showcasing their scarves off. Most the men get a lot of sweaters, polos, and peacoat jackets. 

      2.      Forever 21: This is a very trendy store that many people love to shop at. One of the big attractions of this store is that it is cheap and has nice clothes. It has a wide variety of clothes and accessories.  One of the things that I like is the different type of dressy clothes they have. Forever 21 make it easy to get a range of outfits all for a simple price.

3.      Fracesca’s Collection: I absolutely love this store. It has the most eclectic taste of gifts.  It ranges from baby items to measuring cups. But all of their clothes are very girlie, cute, and very wearable. All of their things have patterns on them and bright colors on the clothes. Most of Francesca’s Collections have big statement accessories from necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets.  I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking from amazing things, but I’d worn them that it is on the pricey side.

       4.      Victoria’s Secret: Almost all of girls in my school own at least something from this store. One of the biggest brands that Victoria’s Secret is known for is PINK. Pink is the best brand of sweats and lounge wear out there. If you’re just feeling like an off fashion day I would recommend to go with an insanely comfy pair of their sweat pants and tee shirts.

5.      H&M:  This store is very rocker chic is very rocker chic. The store carries lots of dark graphics tees and cool motorcycle jackets. H&M is a little harder to find sometimes. It is not in every next door mall. People like it because it is a cheap store and it is big, so that means it can hold a lot of items in one site. Lots of places within the store to shop around in.

Top 5: Jewelry

One of my favorite things that I like to include on all of my outfits is accessories. For example, I have to have some length of necklace on me at all time. Ever since I got my second hole pierced on both of my ears I had to get the new one pierced with a stud earring, so that has been my big thing with earrings lately. I just think that you need various kinds of accessories to really express yourself.

1.       Bracelets:
I love charm bracelets the best. I have one Camilia charm bracelets and I love all the things I can do with it.  I have probably 10 or 12 beads on there now and only need 5 more to fill it up. It has all these different beads on it that I think help to define who I am. The bracelet sort of tells a story about me in a way. I really like casual bracelets that you can just slide on that don’t require a lot of clasps. I usually think that those kinds are cuter anyway.

                                                     2.       Necklaces:
I like necklaces of all sizes. The only kind that I don’t like at all is choker necklaces. Some of my favorite necklaces are pendant necklaces because I don’t like things that are too flashy. Those kinds of necklaces are simple, easy, and quick to throw on. The trend for necklaces now is the big collar necklaces that are massive and make a statement. They are not my favorite kind personally to wear, but I think they are really cool by themselves.

3.       Earrings:
Earrings are by far my favorite thing to wear every day. No matter what is going in the mornings I make a point to grab some. I have really been into studs lately because after I got my second piercing I had to wear studs in my second holes. Also, for my job I can only wear studs in my ears if I want to wear any earrings at all. I really like silver medium- sized hoop earrings too, very classic pieces.

       4.       Rings:
Rings can mean a lot of different things. Say a boyfriend gives one to a girlfriends it could be very interesting because they’re not sure what it fully means. If 2 friends give them to each other it could be friendship rings, which are a little cute and corny. Rings are great little things that you can just keep stacking on fingers.

5.       Watches:
So many people like to wear watches because of the functionality they provide. For example, if you’re in class and can’t pull out your cell phone a watch is a great way to check the time. Companies even make really cute watches that function well, so you won’t have to be embarrassed about wearing one since they are a little old school. But I think that watches are starting to make a comeback with the new generation over having cell phones out all the time. I would really recommend getting some kind of fabulous watch to have.
