Best Stores for Trendy Teen Clothing 2019
If you’re like most teens, you get tired of seeing a lot of the same boring stuff. No matter where you go, it seems like all of the mall stores are just carrying the same thing. So where will teens go for fresh style inspiration in 2019? Here are the top stores trending right now.
Where to Shop for the Best Teen Clothing
We all know that clothing trends change rapidly, and so do buying trends such as what to spend your money on and which stores to shop in. A lot of teens still like to shop at brick and mortar stores but less so in malls. When it comes to online shopping, a lot of teens still prefer budget stores like Forever21, Brandy Melville, H&M, ASOS and overseas fast fashion websites like Pretty Little Thing, ROMWE, and Shein.
How do teens stay on top of the trends? Many get inspiration from their favorite influencers and celebrities on Instagram. In the upcoming year, we are going to see a lot more sophisticated fashion options as well as a lot of vintage favorites Gen X-ers loved in the early 90s. In fact, I’m having major flashbacks right now on Forever21’s current collections! 😲
This season, for example, Doc Martin boots are all the rage. According to Google Trends for teen fashion, the top 20 stores and styles that are dominating right now are Romwe, Supreme, Tommy Hilfiger, Hot Topic, Asos, Express, Champion, vintage clothing, TopShop, Garage, Abercrombie, Pacsun and Urban Outfitters.
Trendy Teen Shopping in 2019
In 2019, more obscure and less mainstream stores online like Teen Hearts and Missguided will be key players in trendy teen fashion and festival fashion.
And if you thought malls were dead now, malls will definitely be less popular in the upcoming year (what are we going to do with all of these giant, empty buildings??). Teens will shop online more with more of the cheap teen clothing sites and virtual mall apps such as Dote.
Teen and even tweens are following styles that are all their own. From boho girl to edgy glam and 90s grunge. Dresses are still wardrobe essentials, and no teen closet is complete without a high waisted short or “mom jeans.” Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, Levis, American Eagle and Urban Outfitters are doing really nice styles for the high waist jean. We will be seeing more low rise jeans in the upcoming year, however.

Teen Fashion Trends for 2019
To keep it classic, and true to their own personality, a lot of teens like to mix it up and wear what’s comfortable. In 2016-18 we saw a lot of basics in the vein of Brandy Melville and American Eagle, but that isn’t going to be the case in 2019. I see a lot more bright colors, edgy styles, bold prints, and cargo pants emerging. Think: Britney Spears meets Gwen Stefani in the aughts.
In 2004, Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears were the fashion icons to follow. There was rarely a moment when these two weren’t showing off their chiseled abs in low slung pants and ultra crop tops. (I’m really digging Gwen’s rhinestone-studded polo top)
Many teens are already opting for everyday basics mixed with street styles. In 2019, we will see even more of the early to mid-2000’s fashion influencers. Neutral tones and sportswear, mixed with a pop of color jacket or footwear. A lot of tops are still cropped, but we will see a decline in the trend of high waist styles, replaced by lower slung pant styles.
Trendy Cutouts
The sexiest, most wearable trend to come out of Fashion Week for Spring 2019 was what I like to refer to as the 70s hip cutout. It showed up on everything from dresses, tops to jumpers, jackets, and bodysuits. Some designers went for the symmetrical look, but there were plenty of styles shown that will indicate this could be a pretty hot trend for teens in 2019 for Prom.
Denim Trends
Denim will do a lot of things in 2019, to include acid washes and light stone washes in the early part of Spring-Summer. There’s no denying that denim is a wardrobe essential that is seasonless. At the recent runway show, designers went back to what felt like 1998. Looks included matching denim separates, acid-wash jumpsuits, funky skirts and pale blue stone washes. Keep a lookout on the oversized denim vest for spring.
Tye Died Tees
Yes, the ever-loved in (and then out again) tie-dyed tee will definitely be a thing in 2019. The hip trend from the 1960s just wants to live. It came back in the 80s, the 90s, pretty much skipped the last 15 years or so of the 2000’s and now, it’s back again.
Many fashion-forward brands like ASOS and TopShop are already following the Spring 2019 trends and starting early with exclusives.
