Okay, I just checked out Evereve. I do not think that the Winslet maxi dress with the midriff cut-out exactly screams 50-something. (unless one is an overly-botoxed Bethesda divorcee' looking for hubby #2)

My 24 year old asked to go to Anthro today. It was a young crowd.

Any store that has a bridal line is not aimed at “middle aged moms.”

Aerie is for teen girls, not middle aged women.

A middle aged woman would look ridiculous in Aerie, like the Regina's "Cool Mom" from Mean Girls.


56 year old wearing her favorite Aerie sweatshirt here-- pretty basic and good for cozy days. Aerie has a lot of styles appropriate for all diggerent stages of life.


54 and me too!

These are all preteen stores.


I have teens and they definitely think Anthro is an old lady store. I think Anthro is more in the 30-something demographic. Some of their stuff works great for 50 year olds but some of it not at all.


Yep, Anthro has said before their target is middle aged moms. When anthro’s customers get a little older and become empty nesters, they’ll become Sundance catalog shoppers.

Anthro loves barrel jeans.


I asked my teenager and her friends: is Anthro a teenage store or an old lady store. They said it depends on what you’re looking at because it can be both.
Those are the kind of kids that make the world a better place

Free people - ladies I'm 58 and their stuff is pretty baggy so...I don't see any teens wearing this stuff.
Nordstrom for nicer wear.

I'm about ready to retire so the pickleball outfit is my top look for.


Teens love baggy clothes. I always see teens shopping at Free People.


+1. I have 2 teen daughters and yes to the baggy clothes and Free People.

I’m guessing PP doesn’t actually know any teens.


I’m a teacher in a HS. I was basically telling about tops. Jeans, yes.,


A lot of them wear oversized sweatshirts.

The witches are way too cool to get anywhere near a Chicos let alone have a meeting there.


Are you kidding? Witches definitely invented stretch ponte pants.
