Episode 8: Just Be-Tween us Mums : The power of investment pieces
Thinking of buying your first Athletik Tween piece but unsure about the investment? We’re lifting back the curtain on our process so you’re fully informed of the power of your...
Clothing designed to feel right for her age and stage.
Girls Activewear for the in-between years
Designed for girls who are no longer little kids, but not ready for teen fashion.
Our pieces prioritise comfort, coverage, and ease — so she can move, play, and feel like herself without pressure to grow up faster than she should.
Created by a mum who went through this stage too
From one parent to another
I created Athletik Tween while watching my daughters move out of kids clothing but not feel ready for teen fashion.
Everything we found was either too young or too grown up, and I realised how much responsibility parents were carrying when choosing what felt appropriate.
So every piece is designed to be comfortable, covered, and easy to wear clothing that lets them be active and confident without drawing attention or rushing them into a stage they’re not ready for.
If you’ve ever stood in a fitting room unsure what was right, this brand is made to make that decision easier.

Izzy Crop
My tween daughter loved the look of the Izzy crop on. She said it was so soft and comfortable. It washed beautifully and has been worn over & over again.

Such a cute and handy travel set
Such a cute travel set, I initially bought this for my daughter but ended up using it myself for our last overseas trip. It was so practical to have in our hand luggage to carry a small amount of skincare to freshen up.

ASHLEY BIKE SHORT
Top notch materials and designs!
The material was top notch! It was stretchy and moved with my teen's body as she rumbles and tumbles without scrunching up in weird places. I love that the designs are age appropriate, classic and clean without any loud matured prints. My kids LOVE wearing them. They even wear it underneath their school uniform to keep them warmer during winter!

Mum Peace of Mind FAQs
Will this be see-through when she moves?
No. Full stop.
Every Athletik Tween piece is 100% non-sheer, even when squatting, stretching or dancing. Fabrics are tested in motion -not just on mannequins - so your daughter can move freely without constantly adjusting her clothes or feeling self-conscious.
Is it age-appropriate? I don’t want her dressed like a mini adult.
We couldn’t agree more.
Athletik Tween is designed specifically for tween girls (8–14) — not downsized adult activewear. Styles are sporty, functional and confidence-first, with no cut-outs, crop pressure or over-styled details.
Will it be comfortable enough for all-day wear?
Yes — this is activewear that works beyond sport.
Our pieces are soft, breathable and non-restrictive, making them perfect for school days, after-school activities, weekend sport and everything in between. No pinching. No rolling. No complaints halfway through the day.
What if it doesn’t fit or she doesn’t like it?
We’ve been there — and we’ve made it easy.
You can try Athletik Tween at home, risk-free, so your daughter can move, jump and live in it before deciding. If it’s not right, returns are simple. No awkward change rooms. No pressure.
Why should I trust Athletik Tween over bigger brands?
Because this brand was built from real mum concerns — not trend reports.
Athletik Tween is small-batch, thoughtfully made and founder-led, created by a mum navigating the tween years herself. We prioritise fit, function and wellbeing, and our community of mums trust us because we design with care without shortcuts.
Is Athletik Tween good value for money?
Yes — because it’s made to last.
Higher quality fabrics, better construction and thoughtful design mean pieces are worn more, washed more and passed down more. It’s less buying, better buying — something mums appreciate.
Will she actually want to wear it?
The short answer: yes.
Our activewear is loved by girls because it feels good, not because it tells them how they should look. When kids feel comfortable, they move more — and that’s always the win.
Is Athletik Tween sustainable?
Yes. We use recycled materials where we can and work with responsible production partners. The goal is to create activewear that feels great, lasts longer and makes a lighter impact on the planet without compromising on style.
How do I wash and care for my Athletik Tween activewear?
Wash in cold water with similar colours, using a gentle cycle to help preserve stretch and colour. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, and turn pieces inside out for extra care. For best results, skip the dryer and air dry.
Is Athletik Tween available in stores?
Not at the moment. Athletik Tween is currently online-only, so you can scroll, shop and check out from wherever you are. That said, we do pop-ups from time to time at certain markets!
