I don’t know. At DD’s private, they are the spoiled, shallow and entitled ones.

This. And they crowd into the Starbucks in the morning to get their Frappichinos before school. God forbid they eat breakfast at home

Ridiculous. Kids who dress well, follow fashion, wear what they like and what looks good on them are usually well adjusted.

I assume what you’re looking at is what you would call popular girls. They are the most insecure girls who would not dare to wear anything but the uniform. They have to wait until someone brave switches brands and they will follow.

So popular girls are insecure?? I was always under the impression that to be popular you had to be able to stand on your two feet, be social, voice your own opinion and be likeable.

Say what you will, it's a very short window where girls want to wear the "uniform" and I don't think it reflects on them negatively. Nor do I try to influence them not to want to wear the "uniform" because I am confident they will soon become their very own person with their very own sense of style.

Extremely insecure. They are too insecure to wear anything outside of what their group wears. Some of the girls are likable some aren’t. They usually don’t have any opinion to voice, they are just worried about what people are thinking of them. And a lot aren’t loyal to friends at all. And the most insecure girls who want to be popular are the not so attractive or not so thin girls because they’re superficial. They need to provide a drinking place or something to belong.

You want to see confident girls look at the ones working on non-trendy causes, the drama club, student government, math club, art club. They aren’t at parties trying to impress guys on weekends they’re in the city working at the animal shelter. They’re with a couple of true friends not getting blackout drunk.

This is what I saw first hand but it might have been regional.

I am at a NYC private, and this is spot on.

I highly doubt Hilary Clinton, RBG,
Taylor Swift, Serena Williams or Meryl Streep for example were obsessing over clothing brands in school. You can seek attention with shallow stuff like clothes and HS popularity, or you can *command* attention with your abilities.

Wow. You all are taking this way too seriously. It’s hilarious that so much hate exists for one brand of clothing that teens wear.

All of these posts about "popular girls" are weird. Everyone knows who the popular girls are -- they are the pretty ones with good style and fierce social skills. But mostly -- they are the pretty ones. Regarding the PP who called them cruel --sure, but it isn't that cruel girls become popular, it's that popular girls become cruel. Same reason lots of politicians become dirty; the power corrupts.

She is 5'1", 105 lbs. She wears a 6 in the leggings. I'm thinking maybe size 4 for the tops? I prefer to buy my Christmas presents earlier than the 30 day return policy.

I am 5’8”, 160 fit pounds and wear 6 bottoms, except aligns, which I size down to 4, so you may want to have her try some things on.

Depending on the cut and how I want it to fit, I will get their tops in 4/6/8.

My 17yo is 5’8” 130 and wears 2-4 in everything.

I also think in previous years they extended the return period, maybe starting November first??

It’s not always looks or style. It’s just a bunch of boys and girls who are always together, are loud, everyone notices them and considered popular. Some of the girls are mean, some are nice. social skills or a mother who let’s everyone drink in the basement can get the overweight girls in the group.

You are lucky! My parents couldn't afford them.

I had the one pair and it was a BIG deal. My mom didn’t usually buy anything name brand. (Unlike Wendy B.’s mom—in 7th grade her entire wardrobe was Esprit, then in 8th it was 100% Guess!) They were faded and had zippers at the ankles. Bought at Millers Outpost. I wore so much they had holes in both knees.

Oh, my dream wardrobe- especially the Esprit closet! Next you're going to tell me that Wendy had Benetton sweaters too! This is why I'm on a tween Lululemon thread. I'm sad I had to miss out. One pair of jeans would have been nice. It seemed like every girl had at least one pair.

My DD said the popular girls are the ones who are... going down town... already in 9th grade.
