[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds about right for a teen/tween.  They want to be on trend.  Just set a budget for her clothes and let her buy what she wants within the budget.  Explain to her a basic wardrobe but let her buy whats on trend. If all she ends up with is a tee shirt that's on her.  Don't you remember being a teen?

Also does she attend private school? [/quote]

NP.  The driver for this likely is either geography (where OP lives) and/or Tiktok, not which specific school.  Students at many schools, both public and private, have these issues (especially with the girls).  The main exceptions to this being a big issue are schools that either (a) have uniforms [some Catholic schools] or (b) have narrow dress-codes that prohibit all branded clothes.

The school I attended later on banned all clothing with brands or logos and narrowed its dress code to minimize these sorts of issues.  There was no uniform.  The dress code listed what clothing types were allowed — rather than what clothing types were prohibited (and with separate lists for boys vs girls).
