Where do I find “cool” clothes for my teenaged daughter?

| My 15 yo DD is complaining that none of her clothes are “cool.” To her, “cool” is not what most teenaged girls are wearing. My daughter wants baggy pants and “cool” (whatever that means) tops and comfortable sweatshirts. She is kind of artsy. She refuses to wear tank tops, crop tops and skinny pants. She says that everything in department stores is boring and when I suggested Urban Outfitters (which I think is closest to her style) she says that place a rip-off, even though I would be willing to buy her a few things there. Are we talking thrift shops? I’m not too crazy about those during the pandemic. Any suggestions? |

| I buy all my 8yos clothes at the thrift store. Well maybe not all but a good 80% of it. Wear a mask like everyone else and wash whatever you buy as soon as you get home. |

| I think you should ket your 15 year old lead on this. Surely she can look on websites ask friends to find clothes she thinks are cool? |

Uniqlo has a collab with Billie eilish. Lots of cool Japanese loungewear and sweats.

Aren’t they they same? A lot of Poshmark sellers resell high end thrift finds or their own used clothes. |

Urban Outfitters for a lower price point. Seriously, your child has no idea what they would like? |

PP here. Yes they’re the same. With poshmark you don’t have to go in a store. I just don’t like them! |

| Pacific Sun, Brandy Melville (crop tops are in, but there are sweatshirts and other tops). I love Aerie, very neutral, comfortable but stylish stuff. Good luck. |

Your 15 year old can’t make her own choices? My kid would automatically veto anything I liked.

Oops, sorry. I see she doesn’t want what most teenagers wear. Maybe Zara? |

| OP here. Yes, I definitely want my daughter to take the lead on this. It’s just that she mentioned that she didn’t know where to look to find the sorts of clothes (baggy pants) that she wants. I told her that if she knows someone who wears things that she likes, she could ask them where they shopped. Thanks for the Poshmark rec - that sounds promising. And she does have some nice art print shirts from Uniqlo. Thanks, everyone! |

Brandy is out. Last summer was the peak. The girls are wearing other brands now. |
