FP movement is great and a lower price point. To the PP body shaming the young woman power walking in an outfit that didn't meet your approval: just stop. Let people move their bodies without shaming them. Women do not need to cut down other women, it's just gross.

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.


Um, no. Since I happen to have the oft cited book Untangled right next to me, here you go:

“When teens say a girl is popular, they’re usually saying she is powerful. And when she’s powerful, it’s usually because she’s willing to be mean and everyone knows it.”


Not everything that book says is gospel. I think that's a stereotype on popular girls. Some girls are popular just because they're friendly, thoughtful, have lots of friends in lots of different circles and not because they're mean and bullies. Do you realize how silly that sounds?


I happen to know the author of that book and she will tell you that popularity in middle school is 80% mean girls and 20% like-able/charming/helpful ones. It changes in high school, but in middle school if’s def the cruel ones who rule.

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.

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

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.

My 13 yo DD is the same and she says she doesn’t care what others are wearing.


Like another PP said, this is such a weird parent flex. No one cares what your DD thinks. The OP just wanted to know what those that do care were asking for as Christmas present. Love how this became a debate. Only on DCUM.

Yeah, I mean we all wore the guess jeans and then later Abercrombie when we were teens in the 90s. And it wasn’t influenced by tick-tock, Snapchat, etc..

Alo is more popular with younger group, high school, college, 20s. Lululemon is definitely a mom brand and probably 12 year olds who haven’t developed their own style yet.

Free people has an excellent FP Movement line.

Why do some people take it personally that others dislike Lululemon and think they produce boring clothing.
