I missed the memo that at age 10, all girls clothing for summer will be completely suggestive and way too sexy for a rising 5th grader. Why can't they just make regular clothes and not adultify? |
The issue is my 10 year old is 5'2 and wears an adult s/m. She lives in t shirts and shorts and that has worked fine. |
Yes. You have to shop carefully and not at reg places to find non suggestive clothes. |
My 10 year old wears athleisure type short and t-shirts. Where exactly are you shopping? |
I think it depends on the size of your 10 year old. I have a 9.5 year old. She is only 65 pounds and 4 1-2 feet tall. She still looks like a little girl. |
old navy, justice. |
Mine is a year older but I get it OP. They’re in adult sizes now and those sizes aren’t designed for tweens.
Mine likes athletic wear so I get a lot of hers from the men’s section now. She is in a size S in men’s. |
Same. She likes the weight and fit of Target t-shirts so we usually pick up a few there. |
That's what mine wears too. We've had good luck on Amazon. Quick dry shirts and shorts. |
I'll add that mine still wears a girls size 8/10 so not adult sizing at all. |
Hmm, I haven't had this issue. What type of clothing does she like to wear? What size is she in? My almost 10 year old is a 10/12/14 most of the time and we have no issue finding stuff that is still young. But maybe she's a bit behind on this. She will still wear shirts from Target with animals on them.... |
The only thing I see are girls wearing athletic style shirts or shorts that might be a little short/tight due to a growth-spurt. That isn’t provocative, intentionally or not, that’s “crap -last years summer stuff doesn’t really fit now”.
The athletic shorts for girls now are shorter than I’d like - especially for my skinny, not tall, but long legged, daughter. But they aren’t all so short that I’m forcing her to wear the really longer basketball ones - just keeping an eye out for the ones with enough of an inseam and an adjustable waist |
I have a boy in 5th grade and I am amazed at what the girls at his school are wearing. They are all basically dressed the same - short lulu or nike shorts and a fitted top. It literally seems like that changed happened overnight from what I even saw in the fall. |
Um, I have not had this problem with my 10 (almost 11) year old. We buy her clothes primarily from Old Navy/Gap/Athleta, H&M, Primary, and Target. |
Yesterday I saw a second grader in cutoff jean shorts short enough to show her under butt and a mesh top over a tiny tank. SECOND GRADER. |
