Last week one mum's outraged comment on Target's Facebook page about the "trampy" range of clothes available to her 13 year-old generated almost 80,000 likes and over 4,300 comments. In response Emma Grey penned this article on iVillage about the "racks of ‘short’ shorts, low-cut tops and ‘grunge clothing’" available in the tween fashion market. Emma's 13 year-old daughter, Hannah Robertson, has put together this gallery of her age-appropriate picks for Summer. We love it!
A simple top - great with shorts or a skirt on hot summer days.
Make a statement in vibrant pink. Perfect for end-of- year parties.
Denim shorts are a must have for tweens in summer and the lace trimming on these is super cute.
For something a little edgier, grab yourself a pair of 'statement' leggings. Available in various NASA images!
Simple, stylish and comfy - the maxi is a great look. Wear it anywhere.
The perfect sundress for tween girls. Throw it over your swimmers and you're ready for the beach.
A cute and simple dress perfect for a day at the beach or an outing to the shops, available in pink or teal.
The intricate designs and bright colours are eye-catching on this swing tee.
Cropped tankinis are a great idea and something a little different from your usual swimwear.
A 'must have' for every girl's wardrobe this summer: teacup-frill shorts!
Every girl needs a place to put her millions, even if it takes a while to save them. This pretty wallet is great for all ages.
This cute tunic will look great worn out over leggings or as a simple beach cover-up. Loving the deep blue.
