Where do you buy 8 year old DDs clothes?

[Anonymous]

I felt like 8 was a hard age to shop for my DDs. Some of the brands were trending too babyish, but tween brands (AF kids, Hollister, Zara) weren’t right either. There was a lot of Old Navy/Gap/Target from ages 8-10. My DDs are almost 11 now and Athleta leggings and various sweatshirts from Athleta, AF kids, Altar’d State, and her swim meets are one’s uniform. The other loves Gap teen (shirts meant to be crop tops fit her perfectly), AF kids, and our local tween girl boutique.

My 9 yr old DD gets her basics from Old Navy, Athleta, and H&M. She has some splurgy stuff from Vintage Havana, Chaser, Design History, and Love Junkie ( I buy these brands on sale).

The folks suggesting Tea and Hannah -- which are lovely brands -- are missing the point that you want to move away from too-babyish clothes.

All the third graders at my DD's school (I realize yours might be a year younger) are wearing very "athletic" , casual clothes. Lots of leggings and joggers, sweatshirts, and hoodies. Tie-dye -- soooo much tie-dye --and smiley faces are HUGE! The girls just aren't wearing "play dresses" or the kinds of patterns you see at Tea and Hannah by starting right around this age.

Uniqlo, Franki (girls version of Francesca’s), and all the things previously mentioned. It’s a transitional age for clothing for sure. Oh also Nordstrom Rack

Op here - thank you all for some great suggestions. I have a lot of websites to look through. Great to hear from those with the same dilemma.

Honestly, just try your local Buy Nothing group

We did Old Navy, Zyia, Gap, plus some soccer store shorts.

Interesting. Primary hangs off both of my super-thin kids. Janie and Jack and Carters fit better

Postmark, Goodwill, Amazon

Target and Old Navy. And the pandemic hit when she had just turned 9 so we started using Stitch Fix. That was great until it suddenly wasn’t - at about 11.5 she hit the XS juniors size range and started to want a lot more options with more teen styling. We do Macy’s and Aerie now.

You can still find lots of non-babyish stuff at carters and target and I know the right sizes there and they’re cheap so those are my go to. Sometimes old navy or h&m but I don’t want to go in person and neither of those has free shipping like Target does w my red card. I can usually get free shipping from carters too they have it frequently.

They are definitely babyish. There is a huge selection in Hanna and Tea is definitely not babyish.
