The article highlights the fashion evolution of tweens, showcasing their freedom in clothing choices ranging from graphic tees to trendy pieces like barrel jeans and flares. The author reflects on the nostalgia associated with terms like "preppy" and explores their current interpretations through the lens of their 10-year-old. This generational shift emphasizes a broader acceptance of styles, with tweens creatively mixing past and present fashion influences, demonstrating their unique sense of identity through clothing.
When I ask my 10-year-old to describe preppy, she knows exactly what it means. Pastel colors, especially baby blue. Lots of smiley faces. Bucket hats with smiley faces on them.
It’s just really fun to see this generation grow up wearing whatever they want, but I was incredibly curious to know if there were still styles or trends my tween was aware of.
For those who still prefer dressing in graphic tees with their favorite cartoon characters on them, they can (I mean, so can the adults now).
But beyond that, the word just became synonymous with collared shirts, bootcut jeans, and anything with a giant A&F emblazoned on the front.
