[quote=Anonymous]Agree it's hard to find age appropriate styles, which is why I think a lot of girls (and their parents) default to athleisure type clothing. And honestly, it works pretty well. There are quite a few options in terms of athletic style skorts, shorts, and both leggings and pants. And then paired with tanks and tees often from the same brands.

Athleta Girl is popular, but Target actually has a line called In Motion that a lot of the girls at DD's school wear as well -- it's well priced (a lot more affordable than Athleta) and has a good mix of colors.

I also recommend J.Crew and J.Crew Factory for dressier things. It runs to the preppy side, but it hits that sweet spot of not looking childish but also not being just super short shorts and cut off tees and backless dresses. Zara can also work for this age group, but you have to hunt a little bit. Some of their kids stuff is a bit twee, but they often carry cute wide leg pants and tops and tees that look more mature but not teen.

And while a lot of the classic kid's brands just read as too young for this age (I'd stay away from Hanna, Tea, Boden, etc., though many of them do still make clothes that will fit this age group), I think Primary can still work for basics -- striped tees, simple dresses, leggings, and shorts. Their solids don't read as too young a long as you get the right colors (no more baby pinks and purples) and their stripes work too. Their other prints will read as too young.
