Still a child, not yet a young woman – those awkward tween years are momentous for girls. Their personalities are maturing along with their bodies. Their sense of style is influenced by the media, the Internet, celebrities and peers. Pivotal changes in tweenagers are reflected in their speech, actions, hobbies and clothing choices. There are several terrific fashion brands who recognize that tweens are growing up, and emphasize designs with an age-appropriate balance. JK Tees, Havengirl, T2Love and Claesen’s USA do a great job celebrating young tween spirits with their fashion collections.
