The first day of middle school or high school can feel like a fashion show as teens showcase their personality through their style. With constantly changing trends and new styles, however, buying clothes for teenagers can quickly get expensive.
Here are five stores where teenagers can get the most stylish look without breaking the bank.
Clothing at Charlotte Russe might not be the highest quality, but items are definitely trendy and inexpensive. Each store and the online boutique feature a huge selection of the hottest styles in tops, pants, dresses, shoes, and accessories.
Check back frequently, as there is almost always a sale and many items go on clearance with prices as low as $3. Charlotte Russe has a huge female section, but nothing for the guys.
With a huge selection of clothes for girls and guys, Forever 21 has something for everyone and tends to feature bold designs and new trends. The store is stocked with a somewhat overwhelming amount of clothes, but it tends to be broken into groupings, so you can easily shop your style.
Forever 21 is also a great place for cheap, fashionable jewelry and accessories. Items at Forever 21 are trendy and inexpensive, and many items tend to go on clearance at the end of the season. Get the best deals by shopping the specials, usually located at the front of the store.
For teens with a more relaxed, casual style, Aeropostale is a goldmine of great deals. The selection doesn’t change with the trends as much as other stores, but the items are still very fashionable for guys and girls and include a large selection of jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies.
Large clearance racks are usually in the back of the store, and featured sale items are prominently featured in the front and main aisles of the store.
Rue21 is a great store for teens looking for hip clothing with an urban vibe. The store features items for guys and girls and tends to lean towards casual and trendy items.
Rue21 always has a large portion of its store on sale, especially at the end of seasons and around holidays. Even without sales, many t-shirts start around $5 and dresses around $9. There is frequently exclusive online clearance sales as well.
With bright, trendy items and classic basics, teens can put their entire wardrobe together at H&M. Items are inexpensive and frequently on sale. In fact, the store often features an item of the day or week with a deep discount at the front of the store.
Plus, multiple clearance racks dot the men’s and women’s sections. H&M has a large selection of exercise clothes, professional and dressy items, and seasonal items like coats, boots, and swimsuits. H&M is a European store and is quickly expanding across the U.S., but it also has a great online selection.
